How much does it cost to install a new toilet?

Usually $350–$900 for a standard two-piece toilet including the plumber. The toilet runs $150–$460 at Home Depot and Kohler, and plumbers publish install prices from about $210 (Las Vegas) to $405 and up (Fort Worth).

Will a plumber install a toilet I bought myself?

Most will. You then pay only the install, about $200–$450. They will still check the flange and shutoff valve before setting it.

Does removing the old toilet cost extra?

Sometimes. Some plumbers include haul-away in the install price; one junk-removal company says others charge about $25–$75 extra. Ask before you book.

Do I need a permit to replace a toilet?

A straight swap usually doesn’t need one. Moving the toilet or adding a new one usually does. Fees are set by your city: for one toilet, about $80 in Parma Heights, OH and about $190 in Redmond, WA (2026 schedules).

How much does it cost to move a toilet?

Moving the drain under 2 feet runs about $800–$1,500, and a longer move or a new location about $1,800–$3,500, before the toilet itself (Platte + Pine, 2026). Concrete slabs cost more than wood floors.

Then you only pay for the install. Most plumbers will install a toilet you supply.

How many toilets

Each toilet is priced the same. Ask about a discount for more than one on the same visit.

Remove and haul away the old one

Some plumbers include this; others bill it separately.

Flange and shutoff valve

The flange anchors the toilet to the drain; the shutoff valve is on the wall behind it.

Move the drain?

"Not sure" adds up to $750 to the top of your range in case the flange or valve needs replacing. Check that the valve behind the toilet turns and doesn’t drip to narrow it.
