How to raise prices on recurring jobs in Jobber

Why your new prices didn't reach existing jobs

Jobber's Products & Services list is a set of defaults. When you add a line item to a quote or job, Jobber copies the price at that moment. Changing the list later, by hand or with a CSV import using “Update existing items”, changes what new line items start with and leaves every existing job alone.

That's deliberate. In a community feature request ↗ from an owner with hundreds of recurring clients, Jobber staff confirmed price-list changes only apply to new line items, described that as intentional, and suggested the CSV export and re-import for the list itself. Existing jobs still need editing.

Before you touch Jobber: plan the rise

1. 1

   List what each recurring client pays now

   Jobber's recurring jobs report ↗ lists your recurring jobs with their invoicing set-up. Get client, service, price and when the price last changed into a spreadsheet.

2. 2

   Decide who goes up and by how much

   Paste the list into the free price-rise audit to see which lines sit below your target, an estimated yearly uplift and the notice dates for each region. Use the inflation calculator if you want a figure tied to US CPI since each client's last change.

3. 3

   Pick the effective date and check notice

   Choose a date after the notice period for every client you're raising. The notice checker covers California, New York, Quebec, BC and other regions; some rules set a minimum and a maximum.

4. 4

   Send the letters

   Say the new price, the date it starts, why in one line, and how to cancel or change. Trade templates: lawn care, cleaning, pest control, pool service, HVAC.

In Jobber: make the change

1. 1

   Update the Products & Services list

   Export the list, change the prices, and re-import with “Update existing items” (or edit by hand). New quotes and jobs now start at the new prices.

2. 2

   Fixed-price recurring jobs: edit the job's line item

   Fixed-price invoices pull the line items on the job, not the visits. Open the job, change the unit price on the job's line item, and save. Do it after the last invoice at the old price has been created and before the first one at the new price.

3. 3

   Per-visit recurring jobs: edit the first visit at the new price

   Per-visit invoices pull each visit's line items. Open the first visit on or after the effective date, change the line item price, and choose “Save and update future visits” so every remaining visit gets it.

4. 4

   Leave the schedule alone

   Editing a recurring job's schedule regenerates its upcoming visits, and Jobber warns that visit-level customisations are overwritten. If a client's schedule also needs changing, do that first, then change prices.

5. 5

   Spot-check

   Open a few edited jobs and their next visit, then re-run the recurring jobs report to make sure nothing was missed.

Is there a bulk way?

Not in Jobber's own screens as of 29 October 2026: it's job by job. If you have a few dozen recurring clients, set aside an evening. With hundreds, the options are a developer using Jobber's API (Jobber publishes a GraphQL API for apps) or a third-party app built for bulk raises. We compare some of those on our comparison pages; check each app's current pricing and reviews before connecting it to your account.
