Most business owners asking about Filipino VA salaries are asking the wrong question.
They’re asking, “What’s the cheapest I can get this for?” or “If I pay more, do I automatically get the best?”
That’s not how this works.
I’ve seen salaries as low as $100 a month and as high as $20,000 a month in the Philippines. Both are real. But neither one tells you what you actually need to know if you’re trying to make a smart hire.
When you get pay wrong, everything gets harder. You attract the wrong people, set the wrong expectations, or miss out on someone really good because you’re just guessing.
To clear up the confusion around Filipino VA pay, here’s what I break down in this episode:
💵 What Filipino VA salaries really look like today
📉 Why minimum wage is not a useful benchmark for hiring great people
🎯 Why the real sweet spot for most VAs is around $4 to $7 an hour
⚠️ Why paying $10 to $15 an hour can actually attract the wrong kind of worker
🧠 What kinds of skills and experience you can expect at different pay levels
🏡 How fair pay in the Philippines can let someone stay with their family and build a real career
🤝 How the right salary helps you find people who want to stay, grow, and contribute
💻 When it makes sense to go above the normal range for specialized roles like programming or AI
This is not about being cheap. It’s about being smart and fair. When you pay the right amount, you can find really talented people in the Philippines who do great work, stay loyal, and help you grow your business.
