Entry Level PricingThis includes the egress window itself, all labor, materials and installation. Generally, this price point will typically be for a smaller premade window well, casement window and a simple dig out to prep the exterior space.
Mid Range PricingThis includes the window, all labor, materials and cost of installation and may use concrete or wood steps on the exterior, along with some decorative touches to the outside. More specifically, it will probably be a larger opening than the entry level price point and may involve some heavy cutting in the basement walls to get the rough opening needed for the egress window.
Premium Egress Windows PricingThis includes window, all labor, materials and installation. This premium price point will involve a step down entrance and proper drainage at the bottom, along with some nice landscaping or decorative touches to make the outside of the egress as nice as the inside. Often, the window opening will typically be large and may use a combination of windows. The most popular if which is a fixed middle window with two casement windows on the outside.

Egress Window Calculator QuestionSo, just how accurate would you say this calculator is? I've used it a bunch, but actually my bids were lower than what your cost estimator said.
[Site Editor's Answer]Sahid, I worked on the cost estimator to try and get it somewhat accurate for the bulk of projects. However, there is really only so much I can do. This is because most projects are so specific to the work that has to be done. The big price mover is the question Complexity Of Egress Project. This can move the price tag from $1250 for DIY all the way to $5250 for very difficult. So, at the end of the day, I stand by the basic cost to add an egress window, but agree that they aren't going to be perfect always. Therefore, that's why it's so important to collect bids.
