What the sources say
| Source | Headline figures | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Angi (updated Oct 2026) | $95,000 average; most spend $65,000 – $150,000; premium finishes toward $130 per sq. ft. | Labor 25% – 50% of project; permits $450 – $1,800 |
| HomeAdvisor (updated Jun 2026) | Same average and range; low end from $55,000, large or engineered builds $200,000+; about $80 per sq. ft. | Corporate sibling of Angi – matching figures alone don’t establish independent corroboration |
| Fixr (updated Jan 2025) | $98,000 average for a 12 x 24 ft build with decking, stairs, fencing, and landscaping; average range $90,000 – $105,000; low $55,000; high $200,000 | Labor about 40% of project; sizes and materials below |
Angi and HomeAdvisor publish the same average and range; they are corporate siblings, so matching figures alone don’t establish independent corroboration. Fixr’s $98,000 average is separately published, and the pages state no shared sourcing. Each average carries a different stated scope, so treat them as three labeled figures rather than one confirmed number.
Cost by size (Fixr, installed, 2025)
| Pool size | Average cost (installed) |
|---|---|
| 10 x 20 ft. | $65,000 – $80,000 |
| 12 x 24 ft. | $80,000 – $100,000 |
| 15 x 30 ft. | $90,000 – $110,000 |
| 16 x 40 ft. | $100,000 – $120,000 |
| 18 x 36 ft. | $120,000 – $130,000 |
| 20 x 40 ft. | $125,000 – $140,000 |
Cost by shell material (Fixr, installed, 2025)
| Material | Average cost (installed) |
|---|---|
| Vinyl | $65,000 – $90,000 |
| Fiberglass | $90,000 – $110,000 |
| Concrete | $100,000 – $130,000 |
Fixr prices the shell or basin itself with no additional features included.3
Cost by material (Angi/HomeAdvisor, 2026)
| Material | Price range |
|---|---|
| Fiberglass | $25,000 – $50,000 |
| Vinyl | $20,000 – $60,000 |
| Concrete | $65,000 – $120,000 |
| Tile | $75,000 – $150,000 |
Angi states its fiberglass figure includes a basic pool deck; it does not state what the other material figures include. HomeAdvisor prints the same ranges.1,2 These figures differ from Fixr’s installed-shell pricing above, and the pages give no stated basis for reconciling the two sets.
Cost by pool type (Fixr, installed, 2025)
| Type | Average cost (installed) |
|---|---|
| Infinity lap pool | $40,000 – $65,000 |
| Saltwater infinity pool | $50,000 – $140,000 |
| Above-ground infinity pool | $51,500 – $79,000 |
| Standard infinity edge pool | $80,000 – $100,000 |
| Disappearing (hidden edge) pool | $90,000 – $100,000 |
| Heated infinity pool | $100,000 – $120,000 |
Cost by location (Fixr, installed, 2025)
| Location | Average cost (installed) |
|---|---|
| Backyard | $80,000 – $100,000 |
| Indoor | $100,000 – $200,000 |
Fixr’s backyard figure covers a 12 x 24 ft pool with privacy fence, decking, and landscaping. An indoor build that also needs a new structure adds $50,000 to $100,000 for the structure itself.3
Labor
| Source | Labor figure |
|---|---|
| Angi (2026) | 25% – 50% of total project price; roughly $20 – $40 per sq. ft., averaging $30 per sq. ft. |
| Fixr (2025) | About 40% of total (materials the other 60%); land clearing runs $150 – $250 per hour |
The two publishers state different labor shares; both figures are presented as published, with no basis given for reconciling them.

Ongoing maintenance
| Item | Cost | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Pool chemicals | $400 per year | Angi/HomeAdvisor |
| Pool cleaning | $500 per year | Angi/HomeAdvisor |
| Professional pool maintenance | $90 – $270 per month | Fixr |

| Motor replacement | $110 | Angi/HomeAdvisor |
Angi and HomeAdvisor also print annual electricity and heating/cooling estimates for infinity pools, but without stated operating hours, rates, or equipment assumptions, so those figures are omitted. The catch basin and overflow edge mean water levels and chemistry need more frequent checking than a standard pool, per both publishers.1,2
How an infinity pool works
One or more walls sit right at the waterline, so water spills over the edge into a catch basin below and is pumped back into the pool. Both publishers describe the same mechanism; the catch basin and pump system are what make the build more complex than a standard in-ground pool.1,2
