Why go with a Virtual Assistant... If you are unsure whether you can afford a virtual assistant or are not sure whether switching from an in office assistant to a virtual assistant would be cost effective, consider the following: Assuming you pay an in office administrative assistant: $15.00 hourly x 40 hours = $600 weekly x 4 weeks = $2,400 monthly x 12 months = $28,800 35% (taxes/benefits) = $38,880+ annually (with an in office employee you pay for non-productive hours, lunch breaks, technology needed to perform their job, sick and holiday pay, office space, etc.) |
Now, assuming that you will only need an average of 20 hours per week from a virtual assistant: Example: $25.00 hourly x 20 hours = $500 weekly x 4 weeks = $2,000 monthly x 12 months = $24,000 annually That is a difference of $14,880 annually! Also, with a Virtual Assistant you never pay for taxes, benefits, lunch breaks, sick or holiday pay, non-productive hours, or expensive technology because a VA is an independent contractor working from their own home office only if and when you require assistance. So even though the hourly rate for a Virtual Assistant may seem high, you have to remember that you are only paying for the hours worked and there is NO overhead. |
