HomeGuide lists the last figure for a 500 to 1,500 square foot basement (HomeGuide). Angi's remodeling guide was last updated in January 2022, its egress guide in December 2023, and HomeGuide shows no date, so treat every figure as a ballpark.

What raises the price
Four things usually move the total.
- Demolition of old walls or finishes
- Plumbing below grade, including a pump
- Cutting concrete for a window or a trench
- Custom millwork, stone counters and high-end fixtures
Angi also lists a designer at $2,000 to $10,000 and permits at $500 to $2,000 as separate lines (Angi*).
What lowers the price
Keep the plan simple and use what is already there.
- Put the bath near the existing drain
- Leave joists open and paint them, instead of building a ceiling
- Use vinyl plank on a dry slab
- Choose a prefab bar instead of a custom one
Skipping a permit is not a saving. See permits and inspections.
