Luxury Investment

• Though hot tubs can be expensive, it is an investment for your home. Your family has the luxury of enjoying a new hot tub, and you also get the benefit of potentially increasing the value of your home.
  
  

Spending Within Your Means

• You must take your budget into consideration. Small hot tubs cost from $1,500 to $2,000, while large hot tubs cost from $5,000 to $7,000. Luxury hot tubs can cost from $8,000 to $15,000. Keep in mind also the delivery fee, installation fee and remodeling fee. Extra fees can run anywhere from $2,000 to $15,000.
  
  

Bottom Line

• Purchasing a luxury hot tub can be a good investment for yourself and for your home. However, a purchase like this can burn through your wallet very fast. Hot tubs are not cheap additions and can run as high as $30,000 (all fees included). Just keep in mind what you can comfortably afford when purchasing a hot tub.
