How to use the bathroom vanity cost calculator
- Enter the number of vanities and whether each is a stock/premade unit or a custom build.
- Switch on removal if an existing cabinet has to come out first.
- For a whole bathroom, use the bathroom remodel cost calculator. A new top by the square foot is on the countertop cost calculator.
Two-source installed typicals, and labor-only context
HomeGuide (June 3, 2025) puts a premade vanity, installed, at $400–$1,700 (center $1,050) and a custom vanity at $1,000–$4,000 (center $2,500). HomeAdvisor (June 20, 2026) publishes a $1,500 average that includes the unit, with a $300–$2,200 overall band. The premade typical is the median of $1,050 and $1,500, or $1,275, with a spread of $1,050–$1,500. Custom uses HomeGuide and Fixr’s January 2026 vanity-plus-shelving remodel line of $1,500–$4,500 (center $3,000); the median is $2,750. Fixr does not have a stand-alone vanity page, so that custom figure is labeled as a remodel line item.
Removal is the median of HomeGuide $150–$400 and Angi $115–$500, or $291.25. Thumbtack (June 15, 2026) reports install labor of $141–$461, which overlaps the labor-only bands from HomeGuide ($100–$200) and Angi ($200–$500) and is shown for context. It is not added on top of an installed typical that already includes labor.
A worked example: one premade vanity
One premade vanity typically costs $1,275 installed. Adding removal brings the typical to $1,566.25. A custom unit at the two-source median is $2,750 before removal.
Sources & assumptions
How this calculator gets its numbers. Full method: our methodology.
- Premade installed typical $1,275 is the median of HomeGuide’s $400–$1,700 mid ($1,050) and HomeAdvisor’s $1,500 average — two sources, disclosed.
- Custom installed typical $2,750 is the median of HomeGuide $1,000–$4,000 mid ($2,500) and Fixr’s $1,500–$4,500 vanity-plus-shelving remodel line — two sources; Fixr has no stand-alone vanity page.
- Removal typical $291.25 uses HomeGuide $150–$400 and Angi $115–$500 (two sources). Thumbtack $141–$461 is labor only and is shown for context, not added on top of an installed typical.

Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to install a bathroom vanity?
A premade vanity typically costs $1,275 installed, the median of HomeGuide’s $1,050 mid and HomeAdvisor’s $1,500 average. The spread of those two centrals is $1,050–$1,500. Custom typically costs $2,750 from two guides.
Why only two sources for the typical?
Three like-for-like installed series were not available. Thumbtack is labor only, and Fixr’s figure is a remodel line rather than a stand-alone vanity page. The tables show two rows and say so.
Is labor already in the typical?
Yes. The headline is installed cost (unit plus labor). The labor-only comparison table is context, not an extra line to add on top.
Does removal come with a new vanity?
Not automatically. HomeGuide and Angi publish separate removal ranges; switch that line on if an existing cabinet has to come out. The two-source typical is $291.25.
