About Bathroom & Kitchen Remodel Calculator

Bathrooms and kitchens are where renovation budgets break — plumbing, fixtures and cabinets stack up fast. The Bathroom & Kitchen Remodel Calculator builds an itemized estimate from room size, a finish tier (budget / mid / premium) and the components you actually need: demo, plumbing, electrical, cabinets, countertops, flooring, finish and permits.

Toggle line items on or off, adjust any default to your quote, and export a clean breakdown to compare against contractor bids or to set a realistic remodel budget.

Examples

Example 1 — Mid bathroom. 60 ft², mid: base $18,000 + demo $1,000 + plumbing $2,500 + electrical $1,200 + cabinets $1,800 + counter $600 + floor $1,500 + paint $1,000 + permits $700 = ~$27,300.

Example 2 — Premium kitchen. 150 ft², premium: base $105,000 + cabinets $12,000 + counter $7,000 + floor $4,000 + appliances $6,000 + demo/plumb/elec/permits ~$11,000 = ~$145,000.

Example 3 — Budget flip. 50 ft² bath budget, minimal scope ≈ $8,000–$10,000.

Example 4 — Drop permits. Untoggle permits to shave $700.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a bathroom remodel cost per square foot?
Bathrooms run high because of plumbing and fixtures: roughly $150–$600/ft² depending on finish. A 60 ft² bath at mid finish is often $9,000–$18,000 including demo, fixtures, tile and labour.
What does a kitchen remodel cost per square foot?
Kitchens span $150–$700/ft². Cabinets and countertops dominate; a 150 ft² mid kitchen commonly lands $22,000–$50,000.
Why is the remodel itemized?
Remodels fail on hidden scopes — plumbing moves, electrical upgrades, permits. An itemized list keeps each cost visible so you can cut or upgrade line by line.
How does finish tier change price?
Budget uses stock fixtures and laminate; premium uses custom cabinets, stone and designer fittings. Tier scales both the per-ft² base and component defaults.
Is labour included?
Yes — labour is bundled into each component (plumbing, electrical, install) rather than a separate blind line, so the split is realistic.
Do I need permits?
Plumbing, electrical and structural changes usually require permits and inspections. We include a permits & design line you can drop if not needed.

No. Every calculation runs in your browser and nothing is uploaded, saved or logged.
