Hiring a Full Time Employee vs a Virtual Assistant. The Numbers Will Surprise You.
Most business owners do not realize how much a full time employee actually costs.
Salary is just the beginning.
Here is what you are really paying for when you hire full time
Salary between $40,000 to $60,000 per year Health insurance between $6,000 to $12,000 per year Payroll taxes up to 15% on top of salary Office space and equipment between $5,000 to $15,000 per year Paid leave, sick days and holidays Training and onboarding costs HR and recruitment fees
That is potentially $70,000 or more per year for one employee.
Now here is what a Virtual Assistant costs
You pay only for the hours you need No office space required No benefits or payroll taxes No recruitment fees No sick days or holiday pay Flexible, scale up or down as your business grows
A skilled VA can cost as little as $800 to $2,500 per month depending on your needs.
Same results. A fraction of the cost.
Smart business owners are not working harder. They are working smarter.
