How to read the result
- The calculator picks the lowest total that covers your hours. Hours you buy but do not use roll over.
- A dedicated plan gives you a regular assistant and the lowest hourly rate, but you pay for all of its hours.
- Per hour used is the total divided by the hours you entered, so a pack that is larger than you need shows a higher rate.
- Prices are in US dollars. Subscriptions are paid through PayPal. If you are unsure how many hours you need, start with a small block.
