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.
