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.
Plumbing cost per fixture is the unit most rough-in and remodel estimates are built on: the standard time for each fixture type at the loaded hourly cost plus its materials at markup, with the runs, the access 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 rather than quoting a market rate, free and without an account; RoughInDesk Pro keeps the estimate against the job.

The fixture types
Lavatory, water closet, tub, shower, kitchen sink, laundry, dishwasher, hose bib, water heater, floor drain. Each has its own standard time for the rough-in and for the finish, and its own materials list, and the estimator carries them separately.
The loaded cost the time is priced at
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. The per-fixture labor is that rate times the fixture's standard time; the number is yours, not an average.
The runs and the conditions on top
The per-fixture figure covers the fixture and its immediate connections; the runs to the stack and the main, the slab or the crawl space, the access and the existing services are added per job. That is why a per-fixture rate quoted alone is never the estimate.
The estimate and the proposal
The estimator adds the fixtures, the runs and the conditions and lists the assumptions; Pro turns it into the proposal and files it against the property. 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.
