As with many service professions, cost is typically based on the experience and skill levels of the Virtual Assistant, as well as the level of service provided. Costs can range between $30 through $150 hourly.

An experienced Virtual Assistant starting a new practice and having great skills could expect to start with an hourly rate of $30.

Many Virtual Assistants will also offer a flat fee per project and/or services under retainer.

The benefit for the client is knowing the Virtual Assistant will be committed to providing the client the services needed, meeting deadlines and providing consistency in the work product. The benefit to the Virtual Assistant is the new challenges the projects provide, and also the consistent established income during such projects.
