How much does it cost to install a pool?

As of 2015, the costs to install a pool ranges from as low as $1,000 for an above-ground pool or $20,000 to $45,000 for a concrete in-ground pool. Above-ground pools usually average $1,500 to $4,500 to buy before installation while in-ground pools are installed as one piece.

Above-ground pools are usually installed with decks built around them, which increases the total to as much as $10,000 for the initial purchase plus installation and deck. There are also vinyl and fiberglass above-ground pools available, which are often well within the range of concrete pools, costing between $20,000 and $45,000 to buy and install.
