How much should you pay a personal assistant?

It depends on the skills they need to do the job for you. If you need project management, or editing for instance, you'll need to pay $15-20 an hour. For someone to run your errands and take you places, $10 an hour will ensure that you get an individual who has a car and the ability to be consistently present. You may need to add 10% if they are fulltime and you are not providing health insurance or other benefits.
