The calculator builds your personal minimum from costs and billable hours. Market bands live in the VA salaries Philippines guide and the Filipino VA Hourly Rates Fair Rate Index; use those after you know your floor.

Include software, equipment, insurance, taxes, retirement savings, and non-billable time such as admin and business development.

Treat it as a floor. Market value, specialization, and client budget may justify higher pricing above the minimum.
