Quick Answers
How much does a virtual assistant cost?
A virtual assistant can cost very different amounts depending on region, skill, hours, and whether you hire directly or through a managed agency. This calculator gives a planning range, not a guaranteed quote.
What affects VA pricing most?
The biggest factors are skill level, timezone overlap, communication quality, direct hire versus agency support, and whether the role is general admin or specialist work.
FAQ
Is the cheapest VA the best option?
Usually no. A low rate can still be expensive if the role is unclear, training is poor, or the work needs specialist judgment.
Should I hire hourly or monthly?
Hourly is simpler for a test role. Monthly retainers work better once the task load and expectations are predictable.
