Plumbing Pricing Calculator for Plumbers | Job Quote Sheet with Trip Fee, Materials Markup & Profit Margin | Google Sheets Excel

Price every plumbing service job from your real numbers instead of a guess or a competitor's flyer.

This Plumbing Pricing Calculator is a spreadsheet for solo residential plumbers. Enter your hourly labor target, overhead, profit margin and materials markup once. Then pick a job type and it builds the quote: trip fee line, job price, total, and your effective $/hr.

WHAT'S INSIDE
• Quote Calculator tab: business inputs, job dropdown, cost build, suggested quote, effective $/hr
• "Check my current price" box: type what you charge now and see your real $/hr plus a status flag (LOSES MONEY / BELOW TARGET PAY / BELOW PROFIT GOAL / ON TARGET)
• Price Menu tab: every preset priced at once
• Job Presets tab: 10 editable Plumbing job types (Service call / diagnostic, Toilet repair (fill valve), Toilet replacement (labor), Faucet replacement, Garbage disposal install, Drain clearing (sink/tub), Main line snake, Water heater swap 40-gal, Shutoff valve replacement, Hose bib replacement)
• How to use tab + 1-page PDF quick-start

INPUTS YOU CONTROL
• Hourly labor target + helper cost per hour
• Drive time, round-trip miles and $/mile → trip fee line (optional minimum trip fee)
• Materials cost + markup %, plus pass-through costs (permits, dump fees) billed at cost
• Monthly overhead ÷ jobs per month
• Profit margin % + card processing %
• Round-up step ($1, $5, $10…)

EXAMPLE (illustrative numbers already loaded in the file)
Water heater swap 40-gal at a $60/hr labor target → suggested quote $2,142 (trip fee line $47), effective $202.25/hr. Charging $1,650 instead works out to $96.09/hr (BELOW PROFIT GOAL).
