Service Price List Builder

A typeset price list, not a Word doc. No signup.

What this number means

Why does a service business need a price list?

A typeset price list does quiet work every day: it answers the phone question, sets the anchor before the consultation, and quietly says "this is a professional operation". The layout pairs each service with its time — clients read time as honesty, and you get shorter consultations.

The same builder works for any service trade — swap the preset rows for your own services and print. Any business that quotes by the job instead of by the hour gets the same benefit: prices that are seen before they are discussed.

Which price list templates can you start from?

Start from a trade preset (rows, times and typical 2026 US prices already filled in):

Print one for the front desk and export the same list for your booking page. Reprint whenever you change prices — an outdated list is worse than no list.

Next steps

Keep going with these tools — they build on this calculation: Booth Rent vs Commission Calculator, Tip Out Calculator and Labor Cost Calculator.

When your prices look right, print the menu with the Menu Maker — free templates, PDF & PNG. Want us to set the whole system up for you? Ask about concierge setup.

Questions owners ask

Should I put prices on my website?

Yes. Hiding prices ("consultations only") filters out price-sensitive clients but also reads as evasive. A published range with "final quote at consultation" converts better than mystery.

Can I use this as a handyman price list template?

Yes — open the handyman preset: TV mounting $100, faucet replacement $135, furniture assembly $80 per item, drywall patch $110, gutter clearing $170 (2026 US job-bundle rates). Think in job bundles rather than hours — a printable one-page handyman price list filters the "how much for a quick job" calls before they reach your phone.

Can I use this for auto detailing, dog grooming or tutoring?

Yes — all three have ready presets with 2026 US rates: detailing from exterior wash ($120) to full detail ($225) (HomeGuide; BGI; Thumbtack), grooming from bath & brush ($45 small dog) to full groom large ($100) (HomeGuide; Adopt-a-Pet; QC Pet Studies), and tutoring from math ($55/hour) to SAT prep ($75/hour) (TutorCruncher; Tutorbase). Swap rows for your own menu and print.

Can I use this as an alterations price list?

Yes — open the tailoring preset: pants hem $15, original-hem jeans $30, skirt or dress hem $12, take-in $15–25, zipper replacement $25, jacket shoulders $35 (Thumbtack 2026 data; shop price lists). A printed alterations price list answers the two questions every walk-in asks — what and how much — before you pick up the garment.

Can I use this as a tax preparer or bookkeeper price list?

Yes — the taxprep preset is filled with 2026 US rates: simple 1040 $220, itemized $350, Schedule C $450, S-corp/partnership $900, monthly bookkeeping $350 (AccWire CPA fee data; Relay; QuickBooks). Per-return pricing beats hourly for tax season — clients can budget, and you stop discounting "quick ones".

Can I use this as an event planner or lash tech price list?

Both are ready presets. Event planning: day-of coordination $1,200, month-of $2,400, partial $3,200, full-service $4,000 (WeddingWire; The Knot; Zola 2026 averages). Lash extensions: classic set $150, volume set $230, refills $70–100 (LalaLash; PMUHub). Packages published as a menu convert better than quote-only inquiries for both.

How do I raise prices without losing clients?

New list, new season, grandfather nobody silently — announce two weeks ahead, raise the underpriced services most, and keep the increase under 10% per year for loyal regulars.
