Trying to pin down the going rate for a virtual assistant rates Texas VA in Texas takes a bit of digging, since rates can swing from a few dollars an hour to well over $40, depending on the scope of work.

Offshore VAs typically run $5 to $15 an hour, U.S.-based assistants usually land between $15-$35/hr, and specialized or senior VAs can run well above $25/hr. What actually drives the price is where the VA is based and what you're asking them to do.

One thing worth factoring in is whether you're hiring a freelancer directly or hiring through a dedicated placement agency. The hourly rate looks lower going direct, but you take on the screening, training, and backup coverage yourself.
