The 30% rule suggests that your bathroom renovation budget should not exceed 30% of your home's value divided by the number of bathrooms. For example, if your home is worth $300,000 and has 2 bathrooms, each bathroom renovation shouldn't exceed $45,000 ($300,000 ร— 30% รท 2). This helps ensure you don't over-improve for your neighborhood.

Yes, but it requires careful planning. For $5,000, you can do cosmetic updates like painting, replacing fixtures, new hardware, a basic vanity swap, and updated lighting. You'll need to keep existing plumbing locations, do some work yourself, and choose budget-friendly materials. A full renovation with new tile, shower, and layout changes typically requires $10,000+.

A 5x7 bathroom (35 sq ft) remodel typically costs $6,000-$15,000 for a mid-range renovation. Budget updates run $3,500-$6,000, while upscale renovations can reach $15,000-$25,000. The smaller size means less material but similar labor costs for plumbing and electrical work.

Labor typically accounts for 40-60% of total bathroom remodel costs. For a $15,000 project, expect $6,000-$9,000 in labor. Plumbers charge $45-$200/hour, electricians $50-$200/hour, and tile installers $10-$18/sq ft. Complex projects with plumbing relocation or custom tile work have higher labor percentages.

Updates with the best ROI include: double vanity (most-wanted feature by buyers), walk-in shower conversion, updated tile work, improved lighting, and energy-efficient fixtures.
