About virtual assistant pricing and costs

The hourly rate on an invoice is only one input into what a virtual assistant costs you. Management time, tools, recruiting and replacement risk all change the total, and so does the hiring model you choose. These guides lay out the arithmetic so you can compare options on total cost, not on the rate alone.

Start with how much a virtual assistant costs, which covers hourly rates, monthly budgets, the loaded cost of an employee and an illustrative comparison of a cheap hire against a vetted one. Then read how much time a VA can save you to see what the hours are worth.
