Hours Saved Estimator

Check the tasks you currently handle yourself. Each comes with a realistic default hours-per-week estimate based on AVA's work with hundreds of clients. You can edit any number. The total shows exactly how much time a VA could hand back to you each week, month, and year.

Select the tasks you'd hand off to a VA:

Hours freed per week 0 hrs
Hours per month 0 hrs
Hours per year 0 hrs
Equivalent full work weeks/year 0 weeks

How these estimates are set

Default hours come from AVA's observations across hundreds of client placements. They're intentionally conservative - real usage often runs higher. For example, inbox management for a founder with a busy client roster can easily exceed 8 hours per week; we default to 5.

"Hours per month" uses 4.33 weeks. "Work weeks per year" divides annual hours by 40 (a standard 40-hour work week). You can edit any task's hours directly to match your situation.

Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate are the default hours per task?

The defaults are conservative estimates based on AVA's experience placing VAs across hundreds of clients. Email triage for a busy inbox can run 5-10 hours per week; we default to 5 to avoid overstating. Adjust any task using the number input next to it to match your actual situation.

Can a VA really handle all of these tasks?

Most of them, yes. Avila VA VAs are bilingual college-educated professionals with backgrounds in admin, marketing, operations, and customer support. Some tasks like bookkeeping require a specialized VA - Avila VA can match you with one. Tasks requiring in-person presence or US licensure are outside the scope.

What should I do with the time I get back?

Most business owners reinvest the time in client work, sales conversations, or strategic thinking they've been deferring. Even recovering 5-10 hours per week adds up to 250-500 hours per year - the equivalent of 6-12 full work weeks.
