Ranges are rounded planning estimates for professional labor and standard materials. They do not include bathroom additions and cannot replace local quotes.

How to use a city adjustment

Choose the nearest comparable metropolitan market, then treat the result as a directional planning allowance rather than a local bid average. Building type, parking, elevator access, work-hour rules, contractor availability, concealed conditions, and the exact permitting jurisdiction can move a project outside the modeled range.

Every city guide identifies its metropolitan factor, official permitting resource, project-scope ranges, and location-specific planning considerations. For the ranked dataset and downloadable CSV, use the 2026 Bathroom Cost Index.
