What a hot tub costs

8 brands have published prices. Their hot tubs run from $5,499 to $30,395, and their swim spas from $24,599 to $74,999. Each maker’s figure is its own list price, checked on its website (Oct 2026). Master Spas is the exception: 29 of its models show a reported price (Oct 2026), and 10 show Master Spas’ own list price.

Published prices, brand by brand

What makers show openly on their own sites, plus reported prices for Master Spas, each with its date. A list price is a starting point, not what people pay. How pricing works.

Price on request for the other 14 brands. Their makers don’t post prices: some show one only after a form, most leave it to dealers. Ask, and we’ll send you the price range for any of them.

Bullfrog Spas posts a starting-price range for each series rather than a price per model, so its models aren’t placed in a band. The ranges are on its card above.

How hot tub pricing works

The list price (MSRP) is what the maker suggests for the base tub. It’s a fair way to compare one tub with another, but the dealer sets the real price: a sale or a show can take the tub below list, and options and add-ons take the total above it.

What you pay is the dealer’s price for the tub as you order it, plus everything it takes to get it running in your yard. Two quotes on the same tub can differ by thousands because they include different things. These are the usual extras:

  • Options such as water care systems, upgraded covers, lighting and audio.
  • Cover, cover lifter and steps, when they aren’t bundled.
  • Delivery, and a crane if the tub can’t go through a gate.
  • The electrical circuit from an electrician, unless it plugs into a standard outlet.
  • A pad or base that can carry the filled weight.
  • Tax, and any freight or materials surcharge the maker adds.

Some makers don’t post prices at all. For those brands the dealer’s quote is the only number, which is why we show “Price on request” rather than a guess. Why dealers don’t list prices, and which buyers get the best deals.

What’s a good deal on one of these?

Tell us the tub or swim spa and how to reach you. We send you what a great deal, a good deal and market value look like, then introduce you to one dealer near you. No other dealer gets your details unless you say so, and you never pay us.

What owners say they paid

189 reports, 69 models

Prices owners posted on public forums, each dated and linked on the model’s pricing page. Most are from before 2022, so they show where a model started, not today’s price. We publish a figure only where three or more reports from 2018 on agree.

Common questions

Where do these prices come from?

From the makers themselves. 8 brands post their prices openly on their own websites, and we read each model's page and record the figure, the page and the date (most recently Oct 2026). Master Spas' figures are reported prices, dated by month. We never print a price a maker hides behind a form, and we never estimate one.

Is the list price what I'll pay?

Usually not. A list price (MSRP) is the maker's suggested price for the base tub. The dealer sets the real price, and options, delivery, the electrical work, a pad, tax and any surcharges come on top. Sales and shows can bring the tub itself below list.

Why do some brands say “Price on request”?

Their makers don't post prices. Some show a price only after you fill in a form, and many leave it entirely to dealers. We don't print a figure we can't show you on the maker's own page, so for those brands a dealer quote is the only real number.

What should be in a quote so I can compare two?

The tub and its options, the cover and lifter, steps, delivery (and a crane if access is tight), the electrical circuit, any pad or base work, start-up water care, and tax. A lower sticker with none of that included is often the more expensive tub.
