VA Cost Calculator
A virtual assistant from Avila VA costs between $439/month (5 hrs/wk, onboarding rate) and $1,919/month (40 hrs/wk, standard rate). Adjust the inputs below to see your exact monthly cost, annual total, and what you save compared to hiring an in-house executive assistant.
How these numbers are calculated
The monthly cost uses 4.33 weeks per month (the average across a 52-week year). Hourly rates come directly from Avila VA's pricing table:
- 5 hrs/wk: $14.99/hr across all periods
- 10-20 hrs/wk: $12.99 onboarding / $13.99 standard / $14.99 last period
- 25-40 hrs/wk: $10.99 onboarding / $11.99 standard / $12.99 last period
The in-house EA comparison uses a US national median salary of $65,000/year for an executive assistant, plus 30% for benefits (health insurance, payroll taxes, PTO) and $5,000/year for office overhead (equipment, software, desk space). That totals roughly $89,500/year, or $7,458/month, for a full-time in-house EA.
The "savings vs in-house" figure is the difference between that monthly in-house cost and your AVA monthly cost. If you're only hiring a part-time VA (under 40 hrs/wk), the comparison still uses the full in-house cost since most businesses hire in-house EAs full-time.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a virtual assistant cost per month?
At Avila VA, monthly cost depends on hours per week. At 10 hours per week, you pay roughly $520-$600/month in the standard period. At 20 hours per week, roughly $1,120-$1,200/month. The first month (onboarding) is sometimes lower depending on the tier.
Does Avila VA charge by the hour or a flat monthly fee?
Avila VA charges by the hour, billed weekly based on actual hours worked. Rates range from $10.99/hr to $14.99/hr depending on the hours-per-week tier. There is no flat monthly fee, but there is a minimum hours commitment starting in month 2.
Why does the rate change after the first month?
The first month is an onboarding period. For most tiers, the rate is the same or lower. Starting month 2, standard pricing applies for months 2-6, then the rate adjusts again for the last period (months 7-12) to reflect the VA's growing familiarity with your work.
