What sets the rate for a virtual assistant
Your rate depends on the role, the scope of work and the hours you need covered. That is why we scope the role on a free call first, then quote one monthly price per seat.
The comparison that matters is your fully loaded US cost: salary, taxes, benefits, office space and equipment. SmartScale360 seats run about 60% below that, with no contract and no setup fee.
