Is it easier to pay a plumber to change out a toilet or do it yourself?

So, I have to change out the toilet in the one bathroom. Luckily I have 2 so its not really that urgent. The employee from Lowe's was super nice and helped me out with what I may need. It'll be the first time changing it out so I am not sure if I should try it myself or pay a plumber?

Like Harry said. It is super easy as long as you can lift the toilet. Just spend the extra few bucks on the rubber reinforved beeswax gasket because it is a little bit more robust when you go to put the toilet back on. Grab an extra set of hold down bolts too because as a general rule the old ones are going to be shot if you're gasket is leaking.
