Default Doesn't answer my question.

That's a parts list. I'm asking about cost.

That list details what you need if you're doing the timing belt. I want to know this: if the water pump is bad, then should the timing belt be replaced? IOW, is the list the same if you're just doing the water pump?

Car is out of warranty. Yeah, doesn't get driven far. Short commute.

Default If you have to take the stuff off for the water pump..

Might as well do the timing belt at the same time, it's cheap insurance, and it's coming off to do the pump anyways.
