What type of system do you need?
How this estimate is built
Ranges combine typical 2026 material and labor costs by system type, bedroom count (tank sizing), and region. Site conditions add contingency typical of local code requirements. This is an estimate, not a contractor quote.
Why costs vary
Permits, soil testing, and excavation are the three largest swing factors. A conventional system on good soil can be $4,000; a mound system on a tight lot can exceed $25,000.
