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 pricing app puts the price book on the tech's phone so the number quoted at the kitchen sink is the company's number: each task with the labor at the loaded hourly cost, the parts at the marked-up cost and the margin already in it, presented to the customer as a flat rate for the job. The plumbing flat rate pricing software on this site builds that book from your costs, free and without an account; RoughInDesk Pro keeps it current on every truck and turns the quoted task into the invoice.

Start from the loaded hourly cost
The rate the book is built on is not the wage: it is the wage plus the taxes, the insurance, the truck, the tools, the phone, the office and the unbillable hours, divided by the billable hours. The flat rate tool on this site produces that number from your figures, and every task price is built on it.
Standard times per task, parts at markup
Each task has a standard time and a parts list; the app multiplies the time by the loaded rate, adds the parts at the marked-up cost, applies the margin and shows the customer one number. When the part cost changes, the book changes with it, which is why the book has to live in one place.
Present the options, not the hours
The app shows the customer the repair, the better repair and the replacement, each as a flat price, and the tech does not discuss hours. The customer picks; the pick becomes the invoice. Pro does that on the phone and files the choice against the property.
One book, every truck, kept current
The pricing app is only useful if every tech has the same book, today's version. Pro pushes the book to every truck and records which version each invoice was priced from. 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 pricing app: common questions
Is there a free plumbing pricing app? The flat rate pricing software on this site builds the book from your loaded cost and your parts with no account and no card. Pro puts it on every truck and turns the priced task into the invoice.
What markup should parts carry? Enough that the parts line carries its share of the truck and the supply-house time, which the loaded-cost calculation on this site makes visible; the figure is yours, not a rule.
Should the customer see the hourly rate? No. The customer sees a price for the task. The hourly cost is the company's arithmetic, not the customer's business.
