Default Virtual Assistant Rates
What do you typically charge for your jobs? Which jobs do you do (transcription, medical coding, etc)

I have no idea as to what to charge.

Also what is the most popular services?

Thanks everyone!

Hi Miss Holly,

I don't believe we're allowed to discuss rates on the boards like this. I'd suggest checking out other VA's websites to see what they charge - there are quite a few who post their rates on their websites.

Good luck!

We totally understand the confusion! There is a great calculator here that will help you to determine your base rate. I also suggest you DO check out other VAs websites in a similar niche to see where the market stands.
