Speak With a Surrogacy4All CoordinatorThe surrogacy cost by state calculator helps intended parents compare estimated surrogacy expenses across different U.S. states. To use the calculator, select your state, then choose the applicable surrogate experience, indicate whether embryos are ready, select your insurance status, and specify any travel requirements. Click “Calculate State Estimate” to generate an estimated cost range for your selected state. The calculator also provides a breakdown of estimated surrogate compensation, agency fees, legal costs, insurance, IVF or embryo creation, and travel or miscellaneous expenses.

The calculator uses these planning factors to provide a low-to-high estimated range. Because every journey is different, the result is an educational planning estimate rather than a quote or financial guarantee.
There is no single surrogacy cost that applies to every state or family. The calculator uses a broad national planning range of $120,000–$180,000 and allows you to compare that range with a state-specific estimate. Your actual cost may be higher or lower depending on surrogate compensation, legal requirements, insurance, IVF needs, travel, and other case-specific factors.
There is no universally cheapest state for every family. Compensation and travel may be lower in one state while legal, insurance or logistical factors increase other costs.

At least quarterly and whenever program compensation, legal requirements or insurance assumptions materially change.
