## Toilet Installation Cost: What the Job Actually Carries

Toilet installation cost splits into a fixture you can look up and a floor you cannot. Supplier prices read this week, plus the finds that move the ticket.

At a glance

1. A complete two-piece toilet ran $149.99 to $275.01 across four named models at two suppliers on September 14, 2026.
2. The set parts, wax ring plus closet bolts, came to under $21 at either supplier.
3. Replacing in place and relocating are different jobs. Relocating moves the flange, and that opens the floor.
4. The May 2025 median wage for plumbers was $30.67 an hour. That is what an employer pays, not what you bill.

## Toilet installation cost starts with two questions

Is the new bowl landing on the existing flange, and is that flange sound? Everything else on the bid follows from those two answers.

A replace in place is a fixture, a seal, bolts and a couple of hours. A relocation moves the flange, which means opening the floor and cutting waste line. Those are not the same bid.

## What the fixture costs

Complete toilets, tank and bowl together, priced by name and model number at two suppliers that publish what they charge. Both read September 14, 2026.

| Model | Sutherlands | McCoy’s |
| --- | --- | --- |
| American Standard 736DA101.020, round front, 15 in rim | $166.99 | $149.99 |
| American Standard 736AA101.020, elongated, 16 1/2 in rim | $191.99 | $189.99 |
| American Standard 746TA101.020, elongated, 19 in rim | not published | $275.01 |
| Mansfield 4383CTK, elongated Summit kit | $197.99 | not listed |

The elongated 16 1/2 in chair height model ran $25 above the round front at Sutherlands and $40 at McCoy’s. The 19 in extra tall rim is the real jump.

### The one-piece exception

McCoy’s lists one one-piece, the American Standard Compact Cadet 3 2403128.020, at $356.51. We found no Sutherlands price to check it, so it stays out of the range. The two suppliers differ on the same model number, so no single national fixture number exists.

## The parts that finish the set

| Part | Price | Read at |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Wax ring, Hercules 90230 polyethylene | $3.60 | McCoy’s |
| Wax ring, Danco Perfect Seal 10826X | $10.98 | Sutherlands |
| Closet bolts, Danco 40543Q brass with nut and washer | $4.91 | McCoy’s |
| Closet bolts, Fluidmaster 7110A brass Setfast set | $9.99 | Sutherlands |
| PVC closet flange, Oatey 43503 Level Fit | $4.99 | Sutherlands |

We cut the supply line. The one listing with a published price was slugged as a toilet supply connector, but the product name on the same node reads as a compression stop valve. Wrong part, so no number.

## Turn the takeoff into a priced job

SimplyWise Cost Estimator turns a photo into an itemized estimate in about 6 seconds, with material and labor lines. Pricing is $29.99/mo or $239.99/yr, about $20/mo on annual, with a 7-day free trial.

## The flange is where the money hides

Pull the old bowl and you learn the truth about the floor. A flange below finished tile, a cracked ring, or soft subfloor at the bolt slots all turn a two hour swap into a half day.

The repair parts are cheap. A steel repair ring was $8.99 at Sutherlands and $10.49 at McCoy’s. A flange repair seat that bridges a broken ring was $28.99 and $22.99. An extender kit for a flange sitting too low was $28.99.

The cost is the hours and the opened floor, not the ring. Price the swap, then carry flange and subfloor repair as named unit price adds the client agrees to up front.

## What the labor side pays

The occupation is Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters. The May 2025 national median wage was $30.67 an hour, the mean $34.70, across 465,840 people.

The 25th percentile sits at $24.13, the 75th at $40.92, the 90th at $52.13.

Those are wages an employer pays an employee. The survey excludes the self employed, so none of it is a billed rate.

## A worked example, replace in place

Stated inputs. One elongated American Standard 736AA101.020 at $191.99, a Danco Perfect Seal wax ring at $10.98 in place of the one in the box, a Fluidmaster brass bolt set at $9.99, and a steel flange repair ring at $8.99 for a cracked ring.

Material lands at $221.95. Call the set two and a half hours valued at the 75th percentile wage of $40.92, which is $102.30.

Material plus wage is $324.25. That is a floor, not a price. No supplier or agency publishes a billed total, so neither do we.

## Price a toilet swap in four steps

1. Decide replace in place or relocate Same flange is one bid. Moving the fixture opens the floor and cuts waste line, so it is a different bid.
2. Pick the bowl shape and rim height The elongated chair height model ran $25 to $40 above the round front. The 19 in extra tall rim is what moves the fixture cost.
3. Add the set parts as one line Wax ring plus closet bolts came to under $21 at either supplier. Carry it as a single material line.
4. Write flange and subfloor as unit price adds You cannot see the flange until the bowl is off. Name the add and its price in the bid.

## Common questions about toilet installation cost

### Fixture and parts

**How much does a new toilet cost?**

Four named complete two-piece toilets ran $149.99 to $275.01 at two suppliers on September 14, 2026. The high end is an extra tall 19 in rim model.

**What parts does a toilet install need besides the toilet?**

Closet bolts, and a ring if you do not trust the one in the box. Together they came to under $21 at either supplier, and a new PVC closet flange was $4.99.

**What does a one-piece toilet cost?**

McCoy’s listed the American Standard Compact Cadet 3 2403128.020 at $356.51 on September 23, 2026. We found no Sutherlands price to check it against.

### Labor and the floor

**How long does it take to install a toilet?**

A replace in place on a sound flange is a couple of hours. Relocating moves the flange and opens the floor, so it belongs on a separate bid.

**What do plumbers earn per hour?**

The May 2025 national median for plumbers and pipefitters was $30.67 an hour, with the 75th percentile at $40.92. Those are employee wages, not billed rates.
