How Much Surrogate Mothers Make is The Biggest Question We Get

Pregnant Woman

Surrogate compensation is a broad subject with many variations on exactly how much surrogates make.

Although, important, surrogate pay generally isn’t the biggest factor for a new surrogate in deciding to become one. Veteran surrogates realize there is much more to consider. It is safe to say that no one considering being a surrogate is simply in it for the money. It is a 24 hour a day job, so, the hourly compensation wouldn’t calculate to be very substantial. But the overall pay and rewards are incredible!

As a Surrogate gets paid, it is a base amount paid in installments to the throughout the pregnancy at various stages. This keeps all parties involved in success throughout and provides constant contact.

So How Much Is it?

The average base amount surrogates get paid is between $40,000 to $55,000 based on experience. Other factors in pay are allowances, benefits, the number of fetuses being carried, and insurance coverage involved.

In addition to the base amount being paid, the surrogate mother can also receive $5,000 to $10,000 for expenses and benefits for her care. You will find that these additional benefits are designed to ensure that surrogates (and baby) are well taken care of, comfortable and as worry-free as possible.

Ultimately, every pregnancy is different; but, we make sure that you are fairly compensated for the incredibly important and honorable role you have on someone’s journey to parenthood. Frankly, true compensation is incalculable.


The Pay is Fair, But The Journey is Incredible!
