How the bathroom remodel cost calculator works

Combine your allowances for fixtures and vanity, tile and surfaces, plumbing and electrical work, and labor, then add a contingency for hidden conditions and a contractor markup. The result is a transparent planning budget, not a bid.

Method and assumptions

Figur adds up only the allowances, quantities, and rates you enter, applies your contingency percentage to the subtotal, and adds contractor markup last. Everything is calculated locally in your browser.

  • Every cost comes from you: the calculator does not fill in national averages or present them as guaranteed local prices.
  • Contingency applies to your base costs and markup to the adjusted subtotal, in exactly the order shown in the breakdown.
  • Permits, design fees, local taxes, and structural work are excluded unless you fold them into an allowance.
  • Real prices depend on your market, season, site access, and hidden conditions that only appear during the work.

This tool produces a planning budget, not a binding quote or construction, legal, or financial advice. Get real local quotes before committing money.

Sources and references

No external data source is required: the budget uses only the quantities, allowances, and percentages you enter.

Worked example

Fixtures $3,200, tile $2,800, plumbing and electrical $2,400, labor $6,500, 12% contingency, and 10% markup.

The planning budget totals $18,356.80.

Frequently asked questions

Why do bathrooms need a higher contingency?

Bathrooms concentrate water damage: rotten subfloors, corroded valves, and hidden leaks appear only after demolition. Many planners carry 12–20% contingency on bath work for exactly that reason.

What belongs in the plumbing and electrical allowance?

Rough-in changes, new valves, moved drains, ventilation fans, GFCI circuits, and lighting. Moving fixtures to new locations costs far more than replacing them in place, so allow accordingly.
