Markups that scale from fittings to water heaters
A 400% markup on a $1 coupling is fair; on a tankless unit it's a lost job. Define markup bands by cost range, enter markup or margin (Pricebookr converts — try the free margin & markup calculator), preview against your real catalog, and apply. Repricing after a supplier increase takes minutes, not a weekend.
Service, remodel, and wholesale books that stay in sync
Service calls, remodel bids, and builder accounts shouldn't share one price. Keep separate tiers on the same item — no duplicates — and control who sees each: inside sales gets wholesale, field plumbers get the field book, and role-based access keeps your costs private.
One click from Jobber, one click back
Import your Jobber products & services, organize and price them here, and push updates back with two-way sync — items match by ID, so re-syncs never create duplicates. Every price change is versioned with full history and rollback. A plumbing starter price list is included if you're starting from scratch.
Worked example: one markup schedule across the whole range
With bands of 400% under $5, 150% from $5–$100, 70% from $100–$1,000, and 45% over $1,000, the same schedule prices a coupling and a water heater correctly without you touching either:
| Item | Cost | Band markup | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| ½" copper coupling | $1.20 | 400% | $6 |
| Pressure-balance cartridge | $48 | 150% | $120 |
| Disposal, ¾ HP | $190 | 70% | $323 |
| 50-gal gas water heater | $1,150 | 45% | $1,668 |
Enter markup or margin — whichever your shop thinks in — and Pricebookr converts (the free margin & markup calculator shows the math). Preview every changed price before it goes live, then sync the result to Jobber.
FAQ
Does Pricebookr support flat-rate plumbing pricing?
Yes. Build flat-rate tasks and parts pricing with cost-band markup schedules, keep service/remodel/wholesale tiers on the same item, and sync prices to Jobber. A plumbing starter price list is included.
How do plumbers usually structure markup bands?
A common pattern: high markups (200–400%) on low-cost fittings and consumables, stepping down through mid-range fixtures, to 40–75% on big-ticket items like water heaters. Pricebookr lets you define any bands and preview the result before applying.
Can I keep builder/wholesale pricing separate from retail?
Yes — price tiers live on the same item, so wholesale and retail never drift apart, and role-based access controls who can see or edit each book.
