How Does Surrogate Compensation in Pennsylvania Work?
To make your surrogacy journey as clear as possible, we've organized our surrogate pay structure into two categories: base pay and additional compensation.
1. Base Pay for Surrogates
Base compensation is the foundation of your earnings as a surrogate. You will start receiving your base pay once pregnancy is confirmed. It will be dispersed over 10 months in equal payments.
You will also receive a monthly allowance once you sign the contract and begin the medical process. This will continue for six to eight weeks after delivery..
2. Additional Compensation
In addition to your base compensation, American Surrogacy covers all your surrogacy-related expenses so you can focus on a healthy pregnancy. This includes:
-
Medical insurance if your current plan doesn't cover surrogacy
-
Legal representation to protect your rights and interests
-
Travel expenses for medical appointments and procedures
-
Lost wages from time off work
-
Maternity clothing allowance
-
Counseling services
-
And more
What Is Experienced Surrogate Compensation?
The difference between first-time surrogate and second-time surrogate compensation can be $5,000 or more.
Experienced surrogates have successfully completed the surrogacy process before and have a better understanding of the process. They're also choosing to go through the emotional and physical demands of surrogacy again, which deserves higher compensation.
- First-time surrogate compensation ranges from $55,000 - $90,000+.
-
Second-time surrogate compensation ranges from $60,000 - $110,000+.

"The families feel the same way," said Brittany, one of our surrogacy specialists and repeat surrogate. "There's no way they could ever say, 'This is enough.' They would give their surrogates everything if they could."
