IQHabUnited States Pools Pool Project Planner

Pool project planner

Budget a new in-ground pool by type, size and extras.

Enter pool dimensions and type to see a build-cost range.

How to use the pool planner

Enter the pool size, choose the construction type (fiberglass, vinyl or concrete/gunite) and any extras like a heater or spa. The planner returns a rough build-cost range split by shell, extras, decking, excavation and permit.

  • Concrete is the most durable and the most expensive.
  • Fiberglass installs fastest but has size limits.
  • Extras (spa, heater, cover) add meaningful cost.

Big picture

A pool is a multi-year commitment. Budget for ongoing maintenance, chemicals and insurance in addition to the build.

Permits: A permit is likely required for this project. Verify with your local authority before you start.

These estimates are based on state-level averages, not ZIP-level precision. The final cost varies with your home and local market.
