Calculators
Math-based tools for pricing, margins, overhead, and technical sizing.
Profit Margin Calculator
Calculate net profit per plumbing job after labor and materials.
Labor Rate Calculator
Calculate your fully loaded billable hourly rate — base wage, payroll burden, workers’ comp, benefits, overhead recovery, and target net profit using the industry divisor method.
Job Pricing Calculator
Price HVAC, plumbing, and electrical jobs with cost-plus formulas — loaded labor, materials, overhead recovery, and target net margin using the industry divisor method.
Bid Calculator
Build a winning bid from the ground up — materials, labor, overhead, and profit margin — so every quote covers your true cost and hits your target margin.
Missed Call Cost Calculator
Quantify the revenue HVAC, plumbing, and electrical shops lose when calls go unanswered — enter your call volume, miss rate, booking rate, and average job value with trade-specific defaults.
Service Price Calculator
Set a flat-rate service price from your true cost — loaded labor, materials, overhead, and target margin — so every service call is priced for profit, not guesswork.
Water Pipe Sizing Calculator
Size domestic water supply and drainage piping from fixture units (WSFU/DFU) — peak GPM demand, recommended pipe sizes, and optional IPC Appendix E pressure-based service main sizing.
Break-Even Calculator
Find the monthly revenue and jobs your plumbing shop needs to cover all overhead and costs.
Water Heater Sizing Calculator
Size storage tank or tankless water heaters from peak-hour hot water demand — DOE First Hour Rating worksheet, simultaneous GPM, BTU input, groundwater temperature, and fuel-specific recommendations.
Employee Cost Calculator
True hourly and annual cost of a plumber after payroll taxes, workers’ comp, benefits, and truck.
Equipment ROI Calculator
See if a hydro-jetter, camera, or truck pays for itself — payback period and return on investment.
Financing Calculator
Show customers the monthly payment on a water heater or repipe — with total interest across 24–60 month terms.
Labor Cost Calculator
Find the total burdened labor cost for one job — loaded hourly cost (wage + burden) × hours × crew — and see labor as a percent of the job price.
Markup & Margin Calculator
Turn part and material cost into the right sell price — convert markup to margin (and back) and stop underpricing every job.
Marketing ROI Calculator
Measure ROI, ROAS, cost per lead, and CAC on your plumbing ad spend and lead sources.
Crew & Subcontractor Cost Split Calculator
Split one job’s revenue and cost across your crew, subcontractors, and materials — and see the margin you keep on each.
Business Valuation Calculator
Estimate what your business could sell for using the SDE × multiple method — with value drivers, a likely price range, and a revenue cross-check.
Water Flow Rate (GPM) Calculator
Convert pipe size and velocity to gallons per minute, run a timed bucket test, and check the result against IPC copper velocity limits — 8 ft/s cold, 5 ft/s hot.
Drain Pipe Slope Calculator
Solve drain pipe fall, slope, or maximum run in three modes — get inches of fall, slope in in/ft, percent and 1:x ratio, invert elevations, and a PASS/FAIL against the IPC Table 704.1 minimum with a half-full Manning velocity check.
Pipe Volume Calculator
Calculate the water volume in a pipe run — gallons, litres, cubic feet, and water weight — from material and nominal size or a measured inside diameter, with fill time, flush volume, and velocity checks.
Water Pressure Loss Calculator
Work out the residual water pressure left at a fixture — Hazen-Williams friction loss through the pipe, IPC fitting equivalent lengths, elevation head, and meter, backflow and treatment losses, with a velocity check.
Sump Pump Sizing Calculator
Size a sump pump from a measured basin drawdown test or a roof-and-footprint rainfall estimate — required GPM at the calculated total dynamic head, horsepower class, basin drawdown volume, and a cycle-rate check that catches short-cycling.
Gas Pipe Sizing Calculator
Size natural gas and propane piping by the longest-length method — total connected load in BTU/hr and CFH, the minimum Schedule 40 pipe size from the NFPA 54 / IFGC capacity table, spare capacity, and the next size up.
