There’s a new retirement plan soon to be available. It’s called a Roth 401k. President Bush brought this about in his 2001 tax cuts. This is a combination of two retirement funds – a 401k and a Roth IRA. But what does it mean?Your 401k plan is pretax money set aside to grow as an investment. Your employer takes pretax money out of you
Here are some guidelines for setting your rates:
Peek in on your competitors
Visit other Virtual Assistants' websites to see what they are charging for similar or the same services. Look for areas you can improve and perhaps provide a service that they don't. Find your USP (Unique Selling Proposition or Point). In other words, what sets your business apart from others’.
Calculate your expenses
Your price should at least cover your expenses. Expenses can include but are not limited to:
- Your Time (Yes, I said your time)
- Office supplies, Equipment, and Software
- Marketing (Online and Offline) Rent/Mortgage
- Utilities (Electricity, Gas, Telephone, Water, etc)
- Taxes
- Insurance (Business, Health, etc.)
- Web Hosting and Web Maintenance
- Travel and Transportation
- Continuing Education
These are just a few that I can think of off the top of my head. Once you have calculated your expenses, you will have a general idea of what you need to cover them. Of course you don't want to just cover your expenses, but make a profit as well.

When someone asks, “What do you do for a living?” How do you answer? Do you say, “I work for XYZ Company and have a home based business.” Or do you say “I work from home?” and leave out the day job part or something similar? Or even worse, you fail to mention your home based business at all? If you’re new to Network Marketing/MLM; I’m betting y
Price your services according to your target market
Your target market is another factor to consider before setting your virtual assistance price list. If you target business executives, then naturally you could charge them more than you could college students. Why? Well...college students may be on tight budgets, work part-time, and/or may still be depending on their parents for financial assistance. Business executives are pretty much established and tend to have bigger budgets. Do you catch my drift?
Price your services according to supply and demand
If you provide specialized services and the demand is high but the supply of VAs offering the same services is low, you can charge more for those services. However, if the supply is high, you may want to consider being more competitive with your prices. If you want to lower your prices and still make a profit, you will also want to cut your expenses.
After considering all of the above, it should give you a general idea of how to set your virtual assistance price list. This is just a basic and general guideline so nothing is set in stone. :)
