That's how I'd approach this question.
Estimate time must be included too if that happened. It's company time. Some folks don't realize that estimates are only free until everyone has work done, then that time cost is added. One reason why smaller projects are slightly higher cost for their size.
Plus half a dozen things on top of what you listed. That's why I do many of my own small plumbing things.
