Frequently Asked Questions
What is a good revenue per plumber for a plumbing company?
Most mixed service/install plumbing companies target $150K–$280K annual revenue per full-time plumber, with a median near $215K. Top performers combine strong emergency dispatch, maintenance contracts, and route density.
How many jobs should a plumber complete per day?
A typical productivity range is 4–8 completed billable jobs per plumber per day for service work. Drain cleaning and emergency calls can push higher; repipe and water heater installs lower daily job counts but raise ticket size.
How is revenue per job calculated for plumbing?
Revenue per job is daily plumber production divided by jobs completed per day. For example, $860 daily production across 6 jobs equals about $143 per job — typical for drain and repair mix with some larger tickets.
What drives higher revenue per plumber?
The highest-impact levers are emergency call response speed, commercial maintenance contracts, average ticket optimization (water heater upsells, membership plans), route density, and minimizing non-billable drive time.
