How Much Does A Virtual Assistant Cost In The UK?
Most UK VAs charge £25–£45 per hour. VA365 packages start at £299/month for 10 hours of professional support, with Desk365 unlimited at £1,999/month.
UK virtual assistant pricing varies more than most buyers realise. Freelance VAs typically charge £25–£35 per hour for general admin and £35–£45+ per hour for specialist sales, executive or operations support.
Retainer packages are usually better value than ad-hoc hourly work. VA365 offers fixed monthly packages starting at £299/month for 10 hours of support, £599/month for 25 hours and £999/month for a dedicated 50-hour-per-month VA. Desk365 — our unlimited outsourced office plan — is £1,999/month.
When comparing to hiring, factor the true cost of an employee: salary, employer NI, pension, holiday and sick cover, equipment, software licences and recruitment. A £28,000 administrator typically costs £38,000+ fully loaded — and that's before management time.
VA365 is usually 40–60% cheaper than the loaded cost of an in-house hire, with no recruitment risk and no notice periods.
