Are you considering becoming a surrogate? You likely have many questions about the entire process, including rules, requirements and regulations. During this exciting time, it’s natural and important to ask lots of questions and do plenty of research on the surrogacy experience.
How Much Do Surrogates Get Paid?
Truth be told, there is no “one-size-fits-all” compensation rate for surrogates. You are unique, and so is your Intended Family. Your individual needs and circumstances will have an impact on your surrogate mother pay rate. That’s why it is difficult for us to quote an exact surrogacy pay amount without knowing you and your Intended Parents.
Generally, your surrogate pay rate will reflect aspects like your location, employment status or previous surrogacy experience. As your Intended Parents are the ones to pay your surrogate compensation, their financial situation will also play a role.
How Much Does a Surrogate Make in the USA?
As we mentioned, surrogate compensation is not a fixed number. The best way to get an exact quote is to contact us for more insight. We recommend that potential American surrogates register with us so you can speak with our dedicated Surrogacy Admissions team. Once we know more about your unique circumstances, we will have a better idea of what your particular surrogate payment might be.
Usually, estimated surrogate compensation rates range between $30,000 to $70,000 in the United States. In certain circumstances, some surrogates may receive even more.
It’s essential to note that legislation surrounding gestational surrogacy is on a state-by-state level, not a national one. Before you embark on your surrogacy journey, make sure you know what local laws apply to you. Commercial surrogacy is mostly illegal in Louisiana, and compensation for this service is not allowed in Michigan or Nebraska.
How Much Do Surrogates Get Paid in Canada?
There is no surrogate compensation in Canada, as commercial surrogacy (which is paid) is not legal in any part of the country. All Canadian agreements are categorized as “altruistic” or donation-based.
While surrogates do not receive compensation, we provide our Canadian surrogates with a generous benefits package. All of your medical and pregnancy-related expenses (like maternity clothes, food, gas/travel or lost wages due to missed work) will be reimbursed.
If you fit the requirements to be a Canadian surrogate but have more questions about your potential benefits and reimbursement amounts, get in touch with our team. We are happy to help you navigate this decision process.
How Much Do Surrogates Get Paid in Mexico?
As with the United States, commercial surrogacy is legal in much of Mexico, and it is also determined on a state-by-state basis. The compensation pay range varies and will depend on circumstances such as employment, location, type of pregnancy and surrogate experience. You will also receive our benefits package, a considerable life insurance policy and compensation for all pregnancy and medical-related needs.
