How Much Does a Surrogate Get Paid?
Our surrogate pay and benefits are flexible and customized to you, as each woman is different and compensated according to her own needs and experiences.
How Are Surrogates Paid?
Surrogates are compensated throughout the duration of their surrogacy journey, beginning even before they are pregnant. Below, we’ll provide details on what surrogate pay looks like, what is included in your compensation, and a timeline for when you’ll be paid.
How Much Do Surrogates Make?
Typically, as a first-time surrogate, you can earn a total compensation of $55,000 to $65,000+ with added benefits and payments on top of the base compensation of $35,000 to $50,000+.
Your base compensation will depend on where you live and whether or not you have insurance.
Your base compensation is not the only surrogate pay you will receive from Circle. You will also receive monthly spending money during your pregnancy, as well as additional benefits such as gifts and insurance, plus payments to cover lost wages, housekeeping, and more.
We work with each potential surrogate to build the right benefit package for her and her family.
Our Surrogate Pay & Family Protection Program
While our primary goal is ensuring you are properly compensated, we also make sure your primary support person and family is cared for, as well. Therefore, they will be paid lost wages for their travel and time commitment.
How our pay & family protection program differs from other agencies:
We do not pay a “flat rate" compensation as this does not account for your individual needs and circumstances.
We cover all lost wages for your travel companion, as well as post-delivery compensation.
If there is something you feel needs to be compensated for, ask us. We want you to feel cared for and heard throughout your entire journey.
Surrogate Pay With Circle Includes the Following:
Your base compensation is calculated from factors including where you live, whether or not you have insurance and if you are an experienced surrogate.
You will be compensated early on in your journey for completing tasks and milestones. You will also receive financial support for necessities during your pregnancy, such as maternity clothing and housekeeping, and after the pregnancy for pumping and shipping breast milk (if you choose to pump).
We know firsthand the journey doesn't end with the baby's birth! You'll continue to receive compensation and support for months after your delivery to help you ease back into “normal life”.
Surrogacy Benefits, Medical, & Life Insurance
As a surrogate, you will also receive non-monetary benefits, such as medical coverage, social work support, legal counsel, life insurance, and more, which ensure you are protected and have a smooth journey. Your intended parents will cover your medical bills and purchase a life insurance plan. All these benefits are paid for in addition to your surrogate compensation, meaning it does not come out of your payments. You’ll also receive surprise gifts for reaching milestones, and you’ll have access to the welcoming and helpful private Circle surrogate social community.
When Are Surrogates Paid?
Surrogates receive compensation pre-pregnancy for signing the contract, undergoing the medical screening, and for the transfer itself. Once the baby’s heartbeat is confirmed – typically around six weeks gestation — base compensation will begin and is paid on the first of every month for nine months. Payments will continue post-delivery, as well.
Here Is a Timeline of When You Will Receive Payments:
- Social Work Screening Advance
- Signing Advance
- Medical Screening Advance
- Medical Clearance to Transfer
- Transfer Payment
- Surrogate monthly stipend
- Transportation and meals for surrogate and primary support person
- Mileage related to surrogacy journey
- Childcare or lost wages for surrogate and companion
- Base compensation payments begin each month for nine months
- Maternity clothing
- Housekeeping
- Monthly payments as noted above
- Flex spending payments
- Recovery of lost wages or childcare
- Family meals
- Pumping supplies, payments and reimbursement
If you are carrying multiples, a multiples-fee is paid to you over the last five months of your surrogacy. Your surrogate pregnancy is considered viable after 34 weeks for a singleton and 32 weeks for multiples. If you deliver before 40 weeks, you will be given a lump sum for the remaining balance. The remainder of the miscellaneous fees are distributed at various times throughout the pregnancy and will be discussed in your screening.
