How to raise prices in Jobber
Jobber has no button to raise prices on all your repeat jobs at once. Here is how owners do it, what the numbers say, and how to make it painless.
The short answer
Jobber lets you edit your products and services list. That does not change the prices on jobs you already set up. To fix those, most owners open each recurring job and retype the price. With 100 clients that is a weekend.
Jobber’s own help points to a CSV export and re-import. That only touches the price book, and it is blocked if your account syncs with QuickBooks Online.
How much should you raise?
- · Most home service owners raised prices last year. 65% did. source

How many clients can you lose and still be fine?
This is the fear that stops most owners. The math is simple. If you raise prices, you can lose some clients and still make the same money.
| You raise | You can lose this many of 100 clients |
|---|---|
| 3% | 2.9 |
| 5% | 4.8 |
| 7% | 6.5 |
| 10% | 9.1 |
What to say to clients
This part matters more than the number. Researchers ran a real test with 1,600 customers. Telling people what the going rate is now kept far more of them than blaming your own costs. Blaming your costs worked no better than saying nothing at all.

So say: “This is what this work costs around here now.” Do not say: “My fuel and insurance went up.” Here are letters and texts you can copy.
A simple plan
- 1. Pick your number. 3% to 10% is the normal range.
- 2. Pick a start date 30 to 60 days out.
- 3. Call your oldest clients first. They should hear it from you.
- 4. Send everyone else a short note with their new price.
- 5. Change the prices in Jobber before that date.
- 6. Send a reminder the week it starts, so no bill is a surprise.
