Methodology
How the Executive Assistant Pricing Estimator works
How the number is produced
- Monthly hours = weekly hours × 4.33.
- Monthly cost = hours × the scope rate you pick ($6 inbox/calendar, $7 + travel/coordination, $8 + projects/research).
- The US in-house comparison applies the ~3.5× US multiplier to the same hours.
Assumptions built in
- Scope rates are Rate Index tiers for executive/administrative VAs; bilingual or industry-specialist EAs may sit higher.
- The in-house comparison is a multiple, not a local salary quote.
