What an assistant actually costs you

A salary is not the cost. Add payroll tax, benefits and equipment and the real number is higher — every month, whether the work shows up or not.

A loan officer assistant typically runs $40,000–$60,000 a year.

A directional estimate, not a quote. Fully-loaded cost is calculated as salary × 1.3 to cover payroll tax, benefits and equipment — a common planning multiplier, and your real figure depends on your state and what you offer. The $40,000–$60,000 range reflects what independent loan officers report paying an assistant. Your exact numbers come from your free Operations Audit.
