Unit costs with sources
This model cites 4 sources for its line-item cost and regional labor inputs.
Regional labor adjustment
The state table applies local labor indexes only to labor-heavy line items.
Published methodology
The methodology page lists the formula, size drivers, labor model, and source links.
How this estimate is calculated
The model prices 9 project line items from published cost inputs. Quantities are driven by your bathroom floor area, scope of work, finish level, and whether a tub is converted to a walk-in shower. The selected scope and finish adjust those inputs, then the regional index changes only each line's labor share; material prices remain national.
The itemized midpoint is shown as a ±25% planning range. It is not a contractor quote: access, design choices, permits, availability, and site conditions can move the final price.

Common questions
How much does a bathroom remodel cost?
A full same-layout remodel of a typical 40 sq ft bathroom runs about $9,000-$15,000 at mid-range finishes. A fixture-and-vanity refresh costs far less, while a gut renovation with a layout change can double the bill.
What drives bathroom remodel cost the most?
Scope, not size. Moving plumbing is the single most expensive decision; after scope, the wet area and tile work are usually the biggest lines.
Is a tub-to-shower conversion worth it?
A walk-in shower conversion adds pan, glass, and drain work over a like-for-like swap, but it is one of the most requested upgrades for aging-in-place and resale.
