Above ground pool cost calculator
Choose a size and add any install quote or extras (ladder, pad, deck). Pool price ranges come from Angi’s 2026 size table, which covers materials only.
What the size ranges cover
Angi lists 2026 average materials-only costs by size, for example $800 to $1,600 for a 12 foot round, $1,300 to $2,900 for a 24 foot round and $2,200 to $4,900 for a 21x41 oval. Angi's overall 2026 average is $3,385, with most people paying $1,023 to $5,840. Angi lists 12x24 twice with different ranges; we use the narrower $1,500 to $2,700.
For labor, Angi says above ground pools run $800 to $5,000 for materials and $1,000 to $3,000 for labor. Enter a real install quote if you have one, or use that labor range as a guide. Ground leveling, an electrical outlet for the pump, and a permit (some towns require one) are the common costs people forget.
Above ground or inground?
Even a large above ground pool with pro install usually costs a small fraction of the $44,499 to $87,349 most people pay for an inground pool (Angi). The trade-off is lifespan, looks and resale value. See is a pool worth it.

Angi’s 2026 materials-only range for a 24 ft round is $1,300 to $2,900. Angi puts labor at $1,000 to $3,000 on top.
Can I install an above ground pool myself?
Many people do. The hardest part is getting the ground perfectly level. Hire an electrician for the pump circuit.
