Virtual assistants often work on monthly retainers, but those packages should still be built from an hourly rate that covers tax and your own tools. Enter your income goal and the calculator gives you the hourly floor to price any package from.
Time spent onboarding clients, switching between tasks and admin is rarely billed. Set realistic billable hours so a busy month actually reaches the income you planned.
What it helps with
- Pricing a monthly retainer package of set hours.
- Setting an hourly rate for ad-hoc overflow work.
- Checking that a low-hour package still pays your bills.
Frequently asked questions
How much should a virtual assistant charge per hour?
Set it from your income goal and costs rather than a flat market figure. Enter your target income, billable hours and expenses (software, subscriptions) and the calculator returns a rate that covers tax and time off.
How do I price a monthly retainer?
Multiply your hourly rate by the number of hours in the package. Build in a few non-billable hours for admin so a busy month still hits your target.
