What each finish level looks like
2027 national prices for a 60 sq ft bathroom. Photos are illustrations of each finish level, not a specific job.
Bathroom remodel cost at three finish levels
Same bathroom, same layout, three levels of finishes:
| Basic | Modern | Luxury | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Today | $13,224 | $19,246 | $34,518 |
| 2027 | $13,421 | $19,508 | $34,946 |
Cost by bathroom size
A bigger bathroom costs more, but not in proportion. Going from 40 to 150 square feet adds about $6,000 at the Modern level. The plumbing, fixtures and vanity cost about the same, so the gap is mostly tile and labor.
| Size | Basic | Modern | Luxury | Modern per sq ft |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 40 sq ft | $12,429 | $18,135 | $32,639 | $453 |
| 60 sq ft | $13,224 | $19,246 | $34,518 | $321 |
| 100 sq ft | $14,809 | $21,437 | $38,262 | $214 |
| 150 sq ft | $16,800 | $24,211 | $42,961 | $161 |
Bathroom remodel cost by city
Bathrooms are labor heavy, so city labor costs show up fast:
| Basic | Modern | Luxury | |
|---|---|---|---|
| National average | $13,421 | $19,508 | $34,946 |
| New York City | $19,833 | $28,861 | $51,767 |
| Boston | $19,386 | $28,174 | $50,499 |
| Los Angeles | $19,679 | $28,626 | $51,325 |
Where the money goes
Labor is about 57% of a Modern bathroom. Tile work, plumbing and demo carry most of it.
- Fixtures$4,451 23%
- Flooring$3,735 19%
- Preparation$2,519 13%
- Cabinetry$1,845 10%
- Finishing$1,503 8%
- Electrical$1,235 6%
- Plumbing$1,178 6%
Want to spend less?
These change the price the most:
- Keep the toilet, tub and drain where they are. Moving plumbing is the fastest way to add thousands.
- Refinish or keep a tub that is in good shape and put the money into tile and the vanity.
- Use porcelain over natural stone. It looks close and costs less to buy and set.
- Skip the heated floor and frameless glass if the budget is tight. Both are Luxury add ons.
How these prices are calculated
Every price on this page comes from the EstimateElite pricing engine, the same one remodelers run on their own websites. It prices each job line by line: cabinets, counters, flooring, plumbing, electrical, demo, paint, and the labor to install each one, then adds a 10% contingency. City prices use a regional cost factor for that area. 2027 prices grow the labor part of each job by the real change in local trade wages (BLS, May 2024 to May 2025) and hold materials at today’s prices.
