What’s your time actually worth?

Work out the tasks you would hand to an Australian VA or OBM, what that would cost, and what you would gain, using the real data from our Australian VA & OBM Rates Report.

Rates vary widely below and above each average rate used in the calculator below, depending on experience and specialisation.

Download the Rates Report for the specific average and range on any of the 42 services offered by Australian VAs and OBMs.

What is an hour of your time worth?

Your billable rate, or what an hour is worth to the business when you are on the work only you can do.

Dealing with customer enquiries, formatting documents, inbox and scheduling, research, travel booking, data and reports, personal assistant support, event and marketing assistance, socials and content.
