A cosmetic refresh swaps fixtures, vanity and paint; a mid-range remodel replaces the tub/shower, tile and flooring; a full gut moves plumbing and rebuilds everything. Tile work and moving plumbing drive the cost.
How it’s calculated & sources
Cost = bathroom area × per-sq-ft rate for the scope. Estimates are then scaled by a regional construction-cost factor for your area (U.S. average = 1.00).
Cost ranges from 2025–26 national home-improvement data (HomeAdvisor, Angi, Fixr and industry guides); regional factors approximate RS Means-style city cost indices. National average bathroom remodel \u2248 $12,000 \u2014 roughly $70\u2013250/sq ft.
Results update as you type and are estimates, not a quote — site conditions, permits, and finishes move the final number. Verify with local pros.
Worked example
A 40 sq ft mid-range bathroom runs about $8,000 nationally (~$200/sq ft).
