What Projects Made Simple LLC Wants You to Know Before You Hire
Hiring a virtual assistant (VA) is one of the smartest moves a business can make — but how much should you expect to pay? At Projects Made Simple LLC, we help businesses like yours find reliable virtual assistants who not only fit your budget but add real value. Let’s break down what goes into the cost of hiring a VA so you can make an informed decision.
What Factors Influence Virtual Assistant Pricing?
The cost of a VA varies based on several factors, including:
Location — VAs based in North America or Europe typically charge more ($25–$60/hour), while VAs from countries with lower costs of living may charge $5–$20/hour.
Skill Level & Experience — A VA handling complex tasks (e.g., project management, advanced bookkeeping) will cost more than someone handling simple data entry or scheduling.
Type of Engagement — Hourly, part-time, or full-time? The structure of your agreement impacts pricing.
Specialization — General admin support tends to be more affordable than specialized services like digital marketing, graphic design, or technical support.
Typical VA Cost Ranges
Here’s a ballpark look at VA costs:
| VA Type | Cost (Hourly) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Entry-level / General admin (overseas) | $5–$15 | Ideal for data entry, inbox management, scheduling |
| Experienced admin / Specialized skill (overseas) | $12–$25 | Social media, bookkeeping, customer service |
| U.S.-based general VA | $25–$50 | Local timezone, fluent English |
| U.S.-based specialized VA | $45–$120+ | Marketing, tech support, operations management |
Hidden Costs to Watch For
While hiring direct might seem cheaper, don’t forget:
-
Training & onboarding time
-
Trial and error with unvetted freelancers

Tools / software subscriptions
-
Risk of turnover or no-shows
