What pushes a primary bath higher

  • The tub or shower plus tile is usually 35–50% of a full bathroom remodel.
  • Moving a toilet or drain adds $2.5k–$7k because the floor has to be opened.
  • Bathrooms are small, so fixed costs (plumbing, permits) make cost per sq ft high.
  • Labor is where states differ most, so your location matters more than any single material.

The calculator above starts with a standard full bath. For a primary bath, open it with a primary-bath preset and adjust from there.
