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.
A contractor plumbing labor price list is the book of standard times: the labor for each task the company does, at the loaded hourly cost, so the price of a task is the same whichever tech quotes it and the margin on labor is known before the parts are added. The plumbing price book template on this site builds that list from your loaded rate and your standard times, free and without an account; RoughInDesk Pro keeps it current on every truck and prices the invoice from it.

The loaded rate the list is built on
Wage plus taxes, insurance, the truck, the tools, the phone and the office, divided by billable hours rather than paid hours. The flat rate tool on this site produces that rate from your figures; the labor price list multiplies it by each task's standard time. A list built on the wage is the reason a busy shop makes no money.
Standard times per task
Each task the company does, with the time a competent tech takes on an ordinary job: the faucet cartridge, the fill valve, the disposal, the heater swap, the clean-out. The time is the company's average, not the fastest tech's, and it is reviewed when the invoices show it drifting.
Labor and parts on separate lines in the book, one number for the customer
The book holds labor and parts separately so each can be reviewed; the customer sees the flat price for the task. The price book template on this site holds both; the invoice presents one number.
Kept current on every truck
A labor list that lives in the office spreadsheet is not the list the tech quotes from. Pro pushes the current list to every truck and records which version each invoice used. 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.

Contractor plumbing labor price list: common questions
Is the labor price list template free? Yes. The plumbing price book template on this site builds the list from your loaded rate and standard times with no account and no card. Pro keeps it on every truck.
Should the customer see the labor rate? No. The customer sees a price per task; the labor rate is the company's arithmetic.
How often should standard times be reviewed? When the invoices show a task regularly taking longer or shorter than the list says. Pro shows that per task from the job records.
