VA Retainer Rollover Rules & Payment Timing Best Practices
- Prepaid Retainer Timing: Invoice on the 25th of each month, Due on the 1st, to reserve your dedicated hours for the upcoming month!
- No-Infinite-Rollover Clause: 'Retainer hours are reserved monthly capacity and do not roll over past month-end (or max 3 hrs rollover for 30 days).'
- Pass-Through Purchases: Never buy client flights or SaaS tools on your personal card without pre-approval; always use a virtual client card or itemize exact receipts.
- VA Tax Write-Offs: High-speed internet (business %), Toggl/Harvest time trackers, 1Password, webcam/headset, dual monitor, and Wise/Payoneer fees.
Set Up Stress-Free Monthly VA Retainer Billing
- Open the VA Retainer Studio above and enter your VA business details and your founder/executive client's company info.
- Put next month's prepaid retainer package on Row 1, followed by any approved hourly overages from the closing month on Row 2.
- Attach or link your Toggl / Clockify hour summary in the Notes box for complete founder peace of mind.
- With Pro ($9 one-time), save all 4–6 retainer clients in your local browser CRM so monthly billing day takes under 3 minutes!
Stop Losing Income to 'Use-It-Whenever' Hour Banks
- Selling non-expiring 20-hour packs: Clients go quiet for 2 months then demand 35 emergency hours in one week! Monthly capacity retainers with explicit expiration protect your calendar and income predictability.
- Absorbing international wire / PayPal fees silently: Offer Wise or ACH details right in Payment Instructions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should Virtual Assistants bill at the beginning or end of the month?
Experienced VAs bill monthly retainers upfront (e.g. invoiced on the 25th, due on the 1st) to reserve dedicated calendar capacity, while billing any extra overage hours on the next cycle's invoice.
Can I bill 15-minute increments like 3.25 or 1.75 hours?
Yes! Decimal quantities multiply cleanly against any hourly overage rate.
Can international VAs in the Philippines, LATAM, EU, or Asia bill US clients in USD?
Yes — select USD ($) regardless of your local browser locale and list your Wise USD routing/account or Payoneer details in the Payment Instructions box.
