Virtual Assistant
ROI Calculator

See exactly what a virtual assistant is worth: the hours you reclaim, the value of that time back, and how much you save versus a local VA when you hire a dedicated remote VA from India through Zedtreeo.

Quick Answer

A virtual assistant pays for itself the moment it frees up more of your time than it costs. Hiring a dedicated remote VA from India through Zedtreeo starts at $5/hour — typically 70–90% less than a local VA. For most owners delegating 20 hours a week, the reclaimed time is worth several times the VA's cost, producing a positive ROI in the first month. Use the calculator to put your own numbers to it.

Methodology

How This VA ROI Model Works

Transparent methodology grounded in real rates.

1

Blended VA Rate

Your selected tasks set a blended hourly rate from Zedtreeo's actual pricing (admin/support from $5/hr, social and light bookkeeping from $6/hr). Cost = blended rate × the hours you delegate.

2

Value of Time Reclaimed

Hours delegated are valued at your own hourly worth (revenue per billable hour). That reclaimed value, minus the VA's cost, is your net monthly gain — the numerator of ROI.

3

Savings vs a Local VA

We compare the same hours against a local VA in your market (US, EU, AU, CA) using the same market benchmarks every Zedtreeo calculator uses — typically 70–90% lower with a remote VA.

Understanding the return on a virtual assistant.

Dedicated remote virtual assistants start at $5/hour. Admin, data entry, and customer-support tasks sit at the $5–6/hour band; social media and light bookkeeping are around $6/hour. You only pay for the hours you delegate — there are no recruitment or placement fees.

ROI = (value of your reclaimed time − VA cost) ÷ VA cost. The calculator values the hours you delegate at your own hourly worth, subtracts the VA's monthly cost (blended rate × hours), and expresses the net gain as a percentage. It deliberately ignores softer benefits like reduced burnout, so the real return is usually higher.

Every hour you spend on delegable admin is an hour not spent on revenue-generating work. The calculator quantifies that: it shows the hours reclaimed per week and per year, and the dollar value of that time at your rate — which is almost always far more than the VA costs.

For the same number of hours, a dedicated remote VA from India through Zedtreeo typically costs 70–90% less than a local VA in the US, EU, AU, or CA. The calculator shows the side-by-side monthly cost and your annual savings versus a local hire.

Common delegations include inbox and calendar management, data entry, customer support, social media, research, and light bookkeeping. Select the tasks you want to offload and the calculator blends the appropriate rate for that mix.
