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 plumbing fixture calculator counts the fixtures by type and turns the count into the estimate: the rough-in and finish time per fixture at the loaded hourly cost, the materials at markup, and the runs and the conditions added per job, with the assumptions listed beside the number. The plumbing estimating software on this site is that calculator, free and without an account; RoughInDesk Pro turns the estimate into the proposal and files it against the property.

Count by type
Lavatory, water closet, tub, shower, kitchen sink, laundry, dishwasher, hose bib, water heater, floor drain. The calculator takes each type as its own count because each has its own time and materials.
Price each type at the loaded cost
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. Each fixture's labor is that rate times its rough-in and finish times.
Add the runs and the conditions
The stack, the runs, the slab or the crawl space, the access, the services. Per job, as assumptions on the estimate, because the fixture count alone is never the job.
The estimate to the proposal
The number with its assumptions; then the proposal with the options and the exclusions, which Pro builds from the estimate and files 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.
