Cost to add bathroom to finished area?

Hey everyone, looking for referrals or just anecdotes on adding a bathroom to finished space. Fairly basic, vanity, shower/tub combo and toilet to second floor room that's currently a bedroom. It's nearly directly above another bathroom so the plumbing runs likely wouldn't have to go that far. Is there a ballpark price you guys have run into or even a large range so I can figure out how doable it is. For reference, the house is in the city, near Midway.

@Lucas Hammer I would think that if you pull permits it would be in the 7-10k range. 2500 would be plumbing. Probably 500-75 in electrical. 1500 in framing. Permit fees, labor and material would chew up the other 4k. I am sure you will quotes that are a lot higher if you have the wrong GC though.
