What does septic system installation cost?

A conventional septic system typically costs $3,600 to $12,500 installed. Alternative systems (aerobic, mound) for difficult sites run $10,000 to $20,000. Soil conditions drive most of the difference, which is why a soil or percolation test comes first.

Those are national ranges. The Septic System Installation cost guide explains what moves the price, and local quotes set the real number.
