What an in-house assistant costs in San Diego

Official data puts the median pay for secretaries and administrative assistants in the San Diego metro area at $26.62 an hour, or about $55,380 a year (US Bureau of Labor Statistics, May 2025), above the US median of $22.86.

	In-house assistant
Median hourly pay, San Diego metro area	$26.62 (US median $22.86)
Median annual pay	$55,380
Employer Social Security and Medicare (7.65%)	$4,237
Salary + employer FICA	$59,617 a year, before benefits, paid leave, equipment, office space and recruiting

A virtual assistant changes the math: you pay for the hours you use, with no payroll taxes, benefits, desk or hiring costs, and a managed service covers holidays and sick days. If you need 10 to 20 hours a week rather than 40, that difference is usually the biggest saving. See virtual assistant cost to estimate yours.
