Bathroom Remodel Cost Calculator
Twin Cities pricing, built from real local jobs.
A bathroom remodel cost calculator is only useful if the numbers come from real local projects. This one is built from full bathroom renovations we've completed across Minneapolis, Saint Paul, and the surrounding west and south metro. In the Twin Cities, the four biggest drivers of bathroom remodel cost are bathroom size in square feet, finish tier, scope of work, and your specific city. A 40 square foot powder room refresh in Richfield with a new vanity and toilet sits in a completely different price range than a 120 square foot primary bath in Edina with a freestanding tub, frameless glass, heated floors, and a custom double vanity.
Labor in the Minneapolis and Saint Paul market has climbed steadily since 2022, and tile setters in particular book out weeks in advance. Tile work and shower waterproofing are usually the largest single line items in a bathroom, followed by vanity and counter, plumbing rough-in, and electrical for fans, lighting, and heated floors. Permit costs vary by city. Edina and Wayzata typically run higher because of finish-level expectations and local permitting overhead. South and west suburbs like Bloomington, Plymouth, Maple Grove, and Eagan tend to come in slightly under city core pricing on identical scope. Tub-to-shower conversions and any plumbing relocation add real cost because they touch waste lines, venting, and waterproofing all at once.
Use the calculator below to ballpark your project. Pick your bathroom size, choose a finish tier, check the scope items you actually want, and select your city. You'll get a low, mid, and high estimate plus a category breakdown. When you're ready for a real number, request a fixed-price quote and we'll walk your bathroom in person.

How accurate is this bathroom remodel cost calculator?
This estimate lands within roughly 20 percent of a real Twin Cities project for the scope you select. Final pricing depends on tile selection, vanity brand, plumbing fixture grade, and any surprises behind the walls. Treat it as a starting point, not a contract.
What is included in the Budget, Mid-range, High-end, and Luxury tiers?
Budget assumes builder-grade fixtures, stock vanity, and basic ceramic tile. Mid-range covers semi-custom vanity, porcelain tile, and name-brand fixtures. High-end is custom vanity, large-format tile, and designer plumbing. Luxury covers full custom millwork, stone slab walls, smart toilets, and steam shower systems.
Why do Edina and Wayzata cost more?
Permit timelines, HOA requirements, and the typical finish level in those neighborhoods push project costs up. Homeowners there usually want higher-end materials, which compounds the base rate.
Does this include design fees and permits?
The estimate folds in standard permit costs and basic design time for a Twin Cities full-service bathroom remodel. It does not include structural engineering stamps, custom millwork drawings, or third-party interior design retainers.
