How Much Do Surrogate Mothers Earn in General?
Surrogate mothers in the United States can expect to earn significant compensation for their efforts, reflecting both the physical and emotional demands of the surrogacy process. First-time surrogates typically earn between $50,000 and $90,000, with variations based on factors such as location, the cost of living, and the specific agency they work with. Experienced surrogates, who have previously completed successful surrogacies, can earn between $60,000 and $110,000. These figures include base compensation as well as additional payments for specific milestones and expenses such as medical costs, travel, and maternity clothing (Family Source) (American Surrogacy).
In addition to base compensation, surrogates receive payments for various surrogacy-related expenses, ensuring they are not financially burdened by the process. These expenses typically cover medical procedures, legal fees, and insurance, as well as monthly allowances for items such as maternity clothes, childcare, and housekeeping. Some agencies also offer bonuses for carrying multiples or for undergoing certain medical procedures like cesarean sections.
