Average Costs to Install Inground Swimming Pools & Covers

A pool is more than an extension of your lifestyle. It’s an investment. Understanding today’s costs and tomorrow’s potential return on investment can help you make informed choices that create an inviting backyard retreat.

Average Price Range

The average cost for a pool ranges from $50,000 to more than $150,000, depending on the level of customizations you choose. A total backyard transformation may cost even more, with the final price based on several factors.

Resale Value

A backyard swimming pool can increase your home’s resale value by approximately 7% compared to homes without pools in your neighborhood.

Financing Options

Pool loans and flexible financing options make owning a new inground pool attainable – helping you make a smarter investment that you can begin enjoying sooner.

Swimming Pool Cost Factors

Learning about the factors that can influence cost can help you create a pool that reflects your vision and suits your budget – without sacrificing style or safety.

Browse Cost Factors:

Installation

Pool installation includes site prep, excavation, soil removal, and leveling terrain to ensure a strong foundation. Complexity of access can also influence the total cost of installation.

Pool Type

The pool material you choose—fiberglass or vinyl—affects both starting price and long-term value. Each option comes with unique construction, installation, and maintenance needs that factor into the overall cost of ownership.

Design

Shape, size, and custom features influence not only your pool’s aesthetic, but also its total cost. A modern rectangular design may differ in price from a natural, lagoon-inspired shape. Custom additions—such as heating, saltwater systems, or a built-in spa—further personalize your space and contribute to overall cost.

Safety Codes & Regulations

Local state and building codes may require your pool to include specific safety features – such as fencing, gates, pool alarms, or safety covers – to protect your family and comply with regulations. These mandated elements may affect the overall cost of your pool project, depending on location.
