About the Plumbing Shop Simulator
Model job volume and ticket against material/labor cost and overhead to see monthly profit.
It's built for directional planning: change any assumption and watch the whole projection move, the way a seasoned operator pressure-tests a plan before committing capital. Everything is computed live in your browser — nothing is sent anywhere.

The Inputs

The Operator's Read
Plumbing profits on dispatch efficiency and average ticket — flat-rate pricing and upsells (water heaters, filtration) beat hourly billing. Emergency and commercial contracts add steady, higher-margin work. Educational only.
Assumptions & Limitations
- •The model is deterministic: it projects your inputs forward with clear arithmetic, not a Monte-Carlo or probabilistic forecast. It shows one scenario at a time — run several to bracket a range.
- •Defaults are illustrative benchmarks, not your business. Replace every field with your real numbers before drawing conclusions.
- •It abstracts away taxes, financing, seasonality, and one-off events unless a field explicitly captures them. Treat the output as a directional estimate.
- •This is an educational tool, not financial, investment, tax, or legal advice. Validate real decisions with a qualified professional.
