How Much Does It Cost to Replace Windows in 2026?
The short answer
In 2026 the national average runs about $1,047 per window installed, with most projects landing between $700 and $1,200 per window once materials and labor are combined. Basic vinyl jobs can come in around $400-$600 per window, while wood-clad and specialty windows can exceed $2,000 each.
Materials account for roughly 85% of the price and labor about 15%, so the frame and glass package you pick is the single biggest lever on your total.
Whole-home estimates
For a typical 2,000 sq ft home with about 15 windows, budget $6,000-$12,000 for vinyl, $9,000-$18,000 for fiberglass, and $15,000-$30,000+ for wood-clad windows.

What changes the price
Frame material, glass package (double vs triple pane, Low-E, argon/krypton), window style, opening size, full-frame vs insert installation, and your local labor market all move the number. High-cost metros can run 20-40% above the national average.
