How Alaska Surrogate Compensation Works
Every surrogacy agency structures its surrogate pay differently. When you work with us, your surrogate compensation will be divided into base pay and additional expenses.
Here’s what you can expect from your surrogate compensation package in Alaska.
Base Pay for Surrogate Pregnancy in Alaska
Your base pay is the agreed-upon payment you will receive for your services. This reflects the significance of your role as a surrogate.
Base compensation is yours to use as you see fit. Many surrogates find this income creates meaningful financial opportunities for their families, whether that's achieving long-term goals, providing additional security or simply having more financial flexibility.
Additional Pay for Surrogates in Alaska
The money you receive for additional expenses is separate from your base surrogate pay. Your additional expenses may include the following:
-
Monthly Allowance: This begins after you’ve finalized your legal contracts and will continue up to eight weeks after birth.
-
Medications: You’ll receive this for beginning fertility medications to prepare for embryo transfer.
-
Maternity Clothes: You’ll start receiving this payment at the beginning of your second trimester.
-
Embryo Transfer: This will be paid to you for each embryo transfer you may need.
-
Self-Care: You can use this money to get massages, get assistance with housekeeping and anything else that can make you more comfortable throughout your third trimester.
