Six hidden costs you forget to factor in. Same hours worked. Same trucks. We give you the calculator that bakes them in automatically — so every job you quote actually pays you what your work is worth.
Risk $47, find $20,000+ a year you've been leaving in the driveway. 425:1.
We're new. The math isn't. The Driveway Pricing Method is built on documented contractor accounting principles — overhead burden formulas every small-business CPA uses, drive-time costing standards from contractor-finance manuals, and a decade of plumbing-specific cost benchmarks. We don't have a wall of stock-photo testimonials. We have receipts. Read on.

Industry research, not our claims. Sources cited in The Driveway Pricing Method whitepaper.
The Plumber's Profit Calculator installs The Driveway Pricing Method into solo and small plumbing operations — so every job you quote covers your real costs, pays you a real wage, and leaves real profit on the table.
Same time spent quoting. Same customers. Same trucks. 20–40% more profit per job.
If your truck, insurance, fuel, equipment, and software cost $4,800/month, then every billable hour has to absorb that cost. Most solo plumbers underestimate this by 30–40%.
If you drive 2 hours to deliver 4 hours of billable work, then you're effectively paid for 4 hours but burning 6. The calculator bakes unbillable drive time into every quote.
If you spend 2 hours every night on invoices and quotes, then those 14 hours a week are unbillable. The calculator distributes that cost across the jobs you do bill.
If 5% of your jobs come back for warranty work, then you need to price in that risk. Otherwise warranty work eats your profit on the next 20 jobs.
If your effective tax rate is 28%, then a $1,000 job is really $720 in your pocket. Pricing without tax burden means you take home less than you think you do.
If you charge what the next plumber charges, then you're trusting his math. He's probably underpricing the same way you are.

We don't replace your stack. We sit on top of it.
The Driveway Pricing Method is built on published contractor accounting principles, not made-up secrets. Every calculation maps to a documented small-business finance practice.
The calculator uses your actual overhead, your actual rates, your actual time — to produce real dollar figures for what each job will pay you. No "up to" claims.
Until we have results to show, the calculator is $47 one-time, locked for life. After we have testimonials, we may price it like the rest of the industry — or higher. We earn the trust before we charge for it.
If the calculator doesn't show you exactly where you've been undercharging — full refund. Keep the calculator anyway as a thank-you for trying it.
Our part: build the calculator, keep it updated, support you. Your part: actually use it on real jobs. If you bought it and never opened it, that's not a refund situation.
No agency. No marketing department. One software engineer who studied 200+ Reddit threads of solo plumbers describing their pricing pain — and built the calculator that fixes it. You email a question, you get an answer from the person who wrote the math.
That's a 425:1 reward-to-risk ratio. If a casino offered you that bet, you'd mortgage the house. The calculator costs less than a third of one mispriced job.
Same jobs you quote now pay you 20–40% more per job. No new customers needed.
The calculator tells you the floor. You decide the ceiling. No more 10pm "did I underprice that one?" anxiety.
For most solo plumbers, fixing pricing alone adds $20K–$40K to their year. Without working a single extra hour.
No agency reports. No vanity metrics. Just the actual price-vs-cost math, every job, in your pocket.
Lifetime access. Built for solo and 1–3 truck operations.

Yes. The calculator works alongside your existing software. You don't replace anything. If you do mental math in the driveway today, then this replaces only the mental math — everything else stays.
About 10 minutes for the overhead inputs. After that, every quote takes 60 seconds. If you can text, you can use the calculator.
If you've never run the overhead burden math, then you don't actually know what you charge — you know what you bill. There's a gap between the two. We'll show you exactly how big it is. If it turns out the gap is zero, refund yourself.
No catch. The catch is what you're losing without it. The average solo plumber leaves $160 on every mispriced job — the calculator costs less than a third of one of those misses. We're founding-pricing it at $47 because we don't have testimonials yet. Lock it in now and you keep the price for life.
60-day no-questions money-back guarantee. Use it for 60 days, run real jobs through it. If it doesn't show you where you've been undercharging, full refund. Keep the calculator anyway.
No. We're a software engineer who built this after analyzing 200+ Reddit threads of solo plumbers describing their pricing pain. We know the math. We don't know your jobs. That's why the calculator gives you control of every input — you bring the trade knowledge, we bring the math.
