How much will it cost to paint my home’s interior? (updated January 2025)

Key takeaways of this article:

  • The price per square foot for interior painting runs between $2-6 per square foot.
  • The exact price depends on the condition of the walls and surfaces (less preparation to the walls means lower pricing).
  • Lower-budget scenario: If your home is up for sale, one coat of paint instead of two coats can often make it “open house” presentable.
  • Higher budget scenario:  If your children have moved out and there will be fewer scooters riding down your hallways, two coats of paint is specified.
