How Texas Surrogate Compensation Works
Other agencies may present you with hard-to-follow surrogate compensation packages. We like to keep things simple. We divide your surrogate pay in Texas into two categories: base pay and additional surrogate compensation
We break down our surrogate compensation package below.
Base Pay for Surrogate Pregnancy in Texas
Your base pay is essentially your surrogate income. This is your money to spend however you’d like. Your base pay for surrogate pregnancy will be divided into equal payments and distributed over 10 months.
You’ll begin receiving your base surrogate pay when pregnancy has been confirmed by a medical professional. Your payments will be managed by an escrow company that we will coordinate with so you can be sure everything is done securely.
Before a pregnancy is confirmed you will also receive a monthly stipend for out-of-pocket expenses once you have signed your surrogacy contracts. You can receive this stipend up to 6-8 weeks after delivery.
Additional Surrogate Compensation in Texas
The second portion of your surrogate compensation package is the additional compensation you’ll receive for expenses such as:
-
Fertility medications
-
Embryo transfers
-
Travel and lodging costs
-
Lost wages (if any)
-
Third-trimester self-care
-
Legal fees
These are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to what our surrogate compensation covers. Learn more about our additional surrogate compensation by reaching out to a surrogate specialist today.

Common Questions about Surrogate Pay in Texas
Do you have to pay to be a surrogate mother in Texas?
No. With our agency, becoming a surrogate comes at no cost to you. All of your surrogacy and pregnancy expenses will be covered by the surrogate compensation we provide.
How do I get surrogate insurance in Texas?
This won’t be something you’ll have to worry about. If your insurance plan doesn’t cover surrogate pregnancy, or you don’t have insurance, we will find surrogate insurance for you.
How much do surrogates get paid monthly in Texas?
Once a pregnancy is confirmed, you will start receiving your surrogacy compensation. This is spaced out over 10 months in equal payments. How much you get paid monthly will be determined by the agreed-upon surrogate base pay in your contract.
Do surrogates get paid if they miscarry in Texas?
If you miscarry during surrogacy, you will still be paid for the time you were pregnant. You will not receive your full surrogate compensation. It’s important to work with the parents after a miscarriage to determine if they want to move forward with the surrogacy process. If you decide to try again, your surrogate pay will resume when a pregnancy is confirmed.
Do surrogates have to pay taxes in Texas?
Texas does not have a state income tax. Since your surrogate pay is your income for your job as a surrogate, your pay will not be taxed by the state of Texas. However, you will be required to pay federal income tax on your surrogate compensation.
Do surrogates get maternity leave in Texas?
Yes. FMLA guarantees that you will get maternity leave for your surrogate pregnancy. However, that does not mean this leave will be paid. This is decided by your employer. If any wages are lost due to your surrogate pregnancy, our surrogate compensation package will reimburse you.
Why do surrogates get paid in Texas?
Helping others have a family that they may not have been able to have otherwise makes you a hero. As a surrogate, you change lives. You deserve to receive compensation to acknowledge your sacrifice and to use it to change your life and your family's life.
