Coastal states with high wages and housing costs, like Hawaii, California, New York, and Massachusetts, sit at the top. Much of the South and parts of the Midwest come in 7% to 14% below the national average. For local details, see our guides to bathroom remodel costs in California, Los Angeles, New York City, and Florida.
Why costs vary by state
- Labor rates: labor is often half of a remodel or more, and wages for plumbers, tile setters, and electricians track the local cost of living.
- Materials and delivery: shipping heavy tile, tubs, and stone costs more in remote areas like Hawaii and Alaska.
- Permits and codes: permit fees and inspection requirements differ by city and county.
- Demand: in busy metro markets, good contractors are booked months out and price accordingly.
- Metro vs. rural: prices within a state can vary 10% to 20% between major cities and small towns.
How we calculated these costs
Each figure comes from the Bath Calculator cost model, which prices a remodel as separate parts: labor and prep, demolition, the shower or tub, flooring and wall tile, the vanity and countertop, the toilet and fixtures, extras, and permits. Each part carries a national average installed cost (materials plus labor) for 2027 planning, at budget, midrange, and high-end finish levels.
A state cost index then adjusts the total up or down to reflect local labor and material costs. Ranges show 15% below and above the typical cost, since real bids for the same job often differ by that much. We review prices once a year and compare the model’s results with published industry benchmarks. Read more about how our estimates work.
