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 labor price list is the labor half of the price book: each task with its standard time and its labor price at the loaded hourly cost, before parts, so the company can see what its labor earns on each task and the tech can quote the same number the office would. The plumbing price book template on this site builds the list from your loaded rate and your standard times, free and without an account; RoughInDesk Pro keeps it current on every truck.

The loaded rate first
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. Every line on the labor list is that rate times a time, so getting the rate right once fixes every price.
The standard time per task
The ordinary time a competent tech takes: the cartridge, the fill valve, the disposal, the heater swap, the clean-out. From your own invoices, not from a book for another market. The time times the rate is the labor price.
Labor separate from parts, one price to the customer
The list keeps labor and parts on separate lines so each can be reviewed; the customer sees one flat price per task. The price book template holds both; the invoice presents one number.
Reviewed from the job records
When the invoices show a task regularly running longer than the list says, the time is corrected. Pro shows actual against standard per task and pushes the corrected list to every truck. 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.

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.
Should the customer see the labor price? No. The customer sees the flat price for the task; the labor line is the company's arithmetic.
What if two techs take different times? The list uses the company's ordinary average. The faster tech earns the company more on the same price; the slower one is visible in the job records.
