Every figure on this page is computed from the inputs you enter, by the method stated below it. RoughInDesk publishes no market averages and quotes no survey: the defaults are a worked example to replace with your own. The pipe dimensions in the pipe-size tool are the published standard sizes, cited on that page.
Commercial plumbing price per fixture is how a commercial rough-in is estimated and how a general contractor expects it reported: the standard time per fixture type at the loaded hourly cost plus the materials at markup, with the runs, the grease interceptor, the backflow device and the conditions added per job. The plumbing estimating software on this site produces the per-fixture figures from your loaded cost and your times, free and without an account; RoughInDesk Pro keeps the estimate against the job.

Commercial fixtures and their times
Flush valve water closets and urinals, wall-hung lavatories on carriers, floor sinks and floor drains, mop sinks, three-compartment sinks, the kitchen's equipment connections. Each has its own standard time and materials; the estimator carries them apart from the residential list.
The loaded cost on a commercial crew
The rate is the wage plus the taxes, the insurance, the truck, the tools, the phone and the office, divided by the billable hours rather than the paid hours; the flat rate tool on this site produces it from your figures. On a commercial job the crew is larger and the unbillable time is the coordination with the other trades, which belongs in the rate.
What is added per job
The runs from the riser diagram, the grease interceptor, the backflow preventer, the water heater sizing, the slab work, the services at the site, the permit and the inspections. None of these is in the per-fixture figure, and a general contractor who asks for the per-fixture rate needs to hear that.
Report it per fixture, estimate it per job
The estimator produces the estimate and the per-fixture figure falls out of it for the general contractor's spreadsheet, with the fixture count beside it. Pro keeps the estimate and its revisions against the job. From the vendors' own pricing pages: Tradify lists Lite at $47, Pro at $51 and Plus at $61 per user per month; Jobber lists Core at $49 per month for one user with additional users at $29 each; Housecall Pro lists Basic at $59 per month billed annually or $79 monthly. RoughInDesk Pro is $47 per month for the whole crew.
