The true cost of hiring

What an in-house employee really costs.

The wage is only part of the bill. Employer taxes, insurance, benefits and paid time off are commonly estimated to add 25% to 40% on top of every hour you pay.

True cost multiplier

The multiplier covers the employer’s share of payroll taxes (FICA 7.65%, plus FUTA and state unemployment tax), workers’ comp insurance, and benefits such as health insurance, retirement and paid time off.

Not counted here, so the real cost runs higher: recruiting, training, equipment and turnover.

One hire can’t run every part of your business.

An in-house employee at this wage is one person with one set of skills. With a CVA package, multiple VAs can work on your projects for the same package price.

The hidden cost: the turnover cycle

With a traditional hire, the cost doesn’t stop at the paycheck. When someone leaves, you pay to find and train their replacement all over again.

With CVA, you don’t miss a beat.We write your SOPs, so everyone on your team knows how things work and operate. If a VA isn’t the right fit, replacement is free, and multiple VAs can work on your projects for the same package price. No recruiting or training cycle on your side.

All in-house figures are estimates. Multiplier: rule of thumb that an employee’s cost (salary, employment taxes and benefits) is typically 1.25 to 1.4 times base salary, from Joseph G. Hadzima Jr., MIT Sloan School of Management, “Starting Up” column, as cited by the U.S. Small Business Administration and SCORE (score.org/mn/minnesota/articles/costs-employees). For comparison, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Employer Costs for Employee Compensation release (June 12, 2026, March 2026 data) puts wages at 69.9% of private-industry compensation costs, about 1.43 times wages. Monthly figures assume 52 weeks a year; actual costs vary by state, benefits and hours. Compared with the CVA Full-Time VA package, which includes up to 40 hours a week.
