How Much Does a Hot Tub Cost?
How much does a hot tub cost? The simple answer is: it depends. A bare-bones rotationally molded hot tub, at the absolute lowest end of the spectrum, can cost around $2,500. At the other end, the best portable hot tubs commercially available can exceed $16,000. The reason is due to the broad range of sizes, features, materials, designs, and performance.
Pricing can also vary based on warranty, ongoing service, and customer location. Here’s a quick guide to how major features can affect a hot tub’s price, or jump to our pricing guide below.
