Typical virtual assistant rates
These ranges are general market estimates and vary by experience and scope.
- Offshore freelancers: often $5 to $15 per hour, with you handling recruiting, training, and management
- U.S.-based freelancers: often $25 to $60 per hour
- Task-based VA agencies: usually sold in hourly blocks, often shared across clients
- Managed executive assistant services: a flat monthly fee for a dedicated, managed assistant
The hidden costs of a cheap hire
The hourly rate is only part of the price. Recruiting time, training time, turnover, and your own management hours add up quickly. A bad hire can cost weeks of lost time before you start over.
