Surrogates with Surrogacy4All earn $60,000–$100,000 in base compensation plus a $1,000 signing bonus. Where you fall in that range depends mainly on whether you have been a surrogate before and on the state you live in. Medical, legal and insurance costs are paid by the intended parents, not by you. All funds are held by an independent escrow agent, SeedTrust. Surrogacy4All is a physician-led agency operating since 2006.

Base compensation with Surrogacy4All is $60,000–$100,000, plus a $1,000 signing bonus once you sign your surrogacy agreement. First-time surrogates usually start toward the lower end of the range. Experienced surrogates, and surrogates in states with higher living costs, are usually offered more.
Base compensation is the payment for carrying the pregnancy. It is separate from reimbursements and allowances, which cover costs the pregnancy creates for you. You should never be out of pocket for medical care, legal fees or travel related to the surrogacy.
We match surrogates and intended parents on medical, location and legal fit only.

The intended parents fund escrow with SeedTrust, so the money is in place before you take any medication. Your $1,000 signing bonus is paid when the agreement is signed. Base compensation is paid in monthly installments starting the month of your embryo transfer. If a transfer does not result in pregnancy, monthly payments pause and restart with your next transfer. Reimbursements are paid as you submit receipts. See the full surrogate payment timeline.
Surrogate compensation may be taxable income, and the rules depend on your situation. Talk to a tax professional before your journey starts. Our guide to taxes on surrogate compensation covers the questions to ask.
