## How the estimate is calculated

Your answers place the job inside the published NYC range for that building type. Each extra bathroom or kitchen, each story above two, and plaster walls move it toward the top of the range. The range shown is that position ±12%, clipped to the published band. The bands come from New York City contractor-published ranges for copper, the only material the 2022 NYC Plumbing Code lists for water distribution, so they run higher than national averages built on PEX. The permit fee follows DOB's Limited Alteration Application fee charts.
