Window Replacement Cost Calculator
Estimate the cost to replace your home's windows. Adjust the number of windows, their size, frame and glazing material, and whether you choose full-frame or insert replacement to see an itemized low–high range for your project.
How this calculator is built
Unit costs with sources
This model cites 5 sources across line-item unit costs, regional labor data, and tax references.
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.

Window Replacement Cost by state: typical ranges
Each range applies that state's labor index to the labor-share line items of the default project; materials stay at national prices. Select a state for its full local breakdown and calculator.

Common questions
How much does it cost to replace windows?
Replacing 10 windows typically runs about $4,500–$8,500, or roughly $450–$850 per window installed for standard sizes. Larger bay, bow, and picture windows, premium frames, and full-frame replacement push the total higher. Use the calculator above for a range matched to your window count, size, and material.
What's the difference between insert and full-frame replacement?
An insert (retrofit) window fits inside the existing frame and is faster and cheaper. Full-frame replacement removes the old frame down to the rough opening, adding removal and trim labor, and is the right choice when the existing frame is rotted or you're changing the window size. Toggle 'Full-frame replacement' to include that extra labor.
Which frame and glazing should I choose?
Vinyl with double-pane glass is the budget standard; fiberglass and composite frames with low-E coatings are the durable mid-grade; wood-clad frames with triple-pane glass sit at the top for cold climates and noise control. Pick the option that matches your climate and budget — the calculator scales the estimate accordingly.
