A Breakdown Of Surrogacy Fees
Having a child is a truly priceless experience, but if you are going to use surrogacy to get there, you will need to use a few different professionals to ensure it happens safely.

Surrogacy Compensation Fees
One of the biggest aspects of surrogacy costs is the cost of the Gestational Surrogate. You are paying her for her time and energy, as pregnancy is quite taxing on the body and mind. A Surrogate’s base compensation is $55,000, and could be more based on a number of factors including her experience as a Surrogate, location, age, and her willingness to carry multiples.
You will also pay for any surrogacy-related expenses. Your Surrogate’s cost is always determined and shared with you way before an embryo transfer so that it is a rate you are comfortable paying.
Some of the other costs incurred in surrogacy include:
- Medical/Embryo Transfer Allowances
- Childcare Allowance
- Maternity Clothing
- Counseling, If Necessary
- Travel Expenses
- Housekeeping Allowances
- Wellness/Selfcare
- Lost Wages (if applicable)
- Twin Surrogate Compensation (if applicable)
With more difficult cases, there may be additional surrogacy costs. For example, if your Surrogate is placed on bed rest or needs to have a C-section, she may be entitled to more compensation.
