Window replacement cost
Installed replacement windows typically cost about $300 to $2,500 per window in 2026, with common mid-range jobs landing near $700 to $1,200 per window (NerdWallet, Angi). A whole-house project of around 25 windows averages roughly $18,000 to $20,000 (NerdWallet). Frame material, window style, glass package, and whether the job is an insert or full-frame replacement move the number more than brand does.

Two numbers matter in a quote: the unit price and the install price. Cheap units with good install usually outperform premium units with bad install, because most real-world window failures are water and air leaks at the perimeter, not glass defects.
By style, NerdWallet's 2026 figures put single-hung units around $100-$400, double-hung around $150-$650, casement around $150-$1,000, and bay windows anywhere from $900 to $7,100 before labor. By frame, vinyl runs about $100-$900, wood $150-$1,300, fiberglass $500-$1,500, and aluminum $75-$400.
Costs jump when the opening changes. Enlarging an opening, adding an egress window, replacing rotted framing, or repairing siding and interior trim are separate line items. If a quote is suspiciously low, check whether it assumes the existing opening is perfectly sound.
One 2026 change worth knowing: the federal 25C Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit, which covered 30% of qualifying window costs up to $600 a year, applied only through the end of 2025 per ENERGY STAR. Do not let a salesperson price a 2026 job as if that federal credit still applies. State, local, and utility rebates are separate and may still exist - check your own utility.
How to choose
Choosing windows on cost
The judgement calls that decide the bill, before anyone quotes you.
- Get three quotes on the same scope Write down the frame material, glass package, and insert-vs-full-frame decision, then ask all three companies to bid that. Otherwise you are comparing different jobs.
- Ask for the price per window at two quantities Volume discounts are real. Knowing the price at, say, 6 windows and 12 windows tells you whether phasing the job costs you much.
- Separate unit cost from labor A quote that is one lump number hides where the money goes. Ask for materials and labor split out, plus disposal and any trim or siding work.
- Treat discounts skeptically A 40% "today only" discount usually means the list price was inflated. Compare final out-the-door totals between companies, not discount percentages.
- Budget for the surprises Rot at the sill is the most common change order. Ask each bidder, in advance, what they charge per opening if they find rot once the old window is out.

Roughly $300 to $2,500 depending on size, style, frame material, and glass, per NerdWallet's 2026 data. Homewyse's 2026 calculator puts a typical installed replacement window near $632 to $967.
NerdWallet puts about 25 windows at roughly $18,000 to $20,000 in 2026. Your number depends heavily on how many are large or custom-shaped.
The 25C credit for windows applied through the end of 2025, per ENERGY STAR. For work placed in service in 2026, do not assume a federal credit. Check your state energy office and your utility for separate programs, and confirm with a tax professional.
Usually not on energy alone in a reasonable timeframe. Zonda's 2025 Cost vs. Value data shows vinyl window replacement recouping roughly two-thirds to three-quarters of cost at resale. Comfort, noise, and stopping water damage are often the stronger arguments.
