Plumber Cost Per Hour Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Plumber Cost Per Hour (PCH) is:

\[ PCH = \frac{TC}{TH} \]

Where:

$PCH$ is the plumber cost per hour (\$/hour)
$TC$ is the total cost of the job (\$)
$TH$ is the total number of hours spent on the job (hours)

What is the Cost of a Plumber Per Hour?

The national average for a licensed plumber is about \$70 – \$85 per hour, but a master plumber or a plumbing contractor can charge up to \$120 per hour if the job is complex. This doesn’t include what you’ll pay for parts and materials. If you need a simple repair like replacing a faucet or toilet, you can expect to pay less than \$125 for labor and parts.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Total Cost of the Job (TC) = \$300
Total Hours Spent on the Job (TH) = 4 hours

Using the formula:

\[ PCH = \frac{300}{4} = 75 \, \text{\$/hour} \]

The Plumber Cost Per Hour is \$75/hour.
