As a surrogate, you should be properly compensated for the decision you’ve made to open the door to parenthood for the intended parents.
Your desire to help others realize their dreams is an altruistic act and our top-tier pay is meant to show you how valuable and impactful your choice is.
How Much Do Surrogates Get Paid Monthly?
Your base pay will be paid out in 10 monthly installments. So, you will take your total base pay amount and divide that by 10, giving you your monthly payment.
Base pay for surrogate pregnancy is calculated by looking at:
- Experience
- Income
- Location
Do Surrogates Get Paid After Birth?
Surrogates do get paid after birth, but the majority of their pay is distrusted during the pregnancy. Monthly payments are made throughout the pregnancy and then the postpartum period if necessary. This structure ensures surrogates have the necessary financial support.
Do Surrogates Get Paid if They Miscarry?
Yes, surrogates get paid if they miscarry. But as a surrogate, you are only paid for the time you are pregnant. If a miscarriage occurs four months into the process, you are paid for those four months.
Your surrogacy contract with the intended parents will define what comes next, but if you decide to try again, then a pregnancy must be confirmed before you can start getting paid.
How Much Do Surrogates Make for Twins?
You can make $10,000 as a surrogate for carrying twins. The $5,000 per multiple that we pay isn’t for the babies you are carrying; it’s for your choice to take on the physical and emotional aspects of carrying twins.
Do Surrogates Get Maternity Leave in Spokane?
Yes. The Family Medical Leave Act gives you 12 weeks of unpaid time off due to pregnancy. Washington also has laws with Paid Family & Medical Leave.
If your employer does not offer paid maternity leave, we will reimburse you for any lost wages.
Do Surrogates Have to Pay Taxes in Spokane?
Yes, surrogates have to pay taxes in Spokane. The compensation you receive as a surrogate is considered payment for a valuable service. This surrogate pay can be taxed.
Keep an eye out for a 1099 form during tax season from the third-party escrow service that distributes your monthly payments. But keep in mind that just because you don’t receive a 1099 form, doesn’t mean the income is tax-free.
Speak to a local tax accountant to ensure you have all the necessary tax forms and are paying the proper taxes.
