In addition to being one of the states where surrogacy agencies have higher average surrogate compensation than the national average, there’s also no restriction on how much a surrogate can be paid.

FAQs About Surrogate Compensation in San Francisco
Do Surrogates Get Paid if They Miscarry?
Yes, surrogates get paid if they miscarry. You will receive payments up until the miscarriage occurs. Surrogacy contracts are a good way to outline financial compensation between you and the intended parents in the event of situations like miscarriages.
If you and the intended parents decide to continue the process, you’ll resume receiving surrogate payments once a pregnancy is confirmed.
Do Surrogates Get Maternity Leave?
Yes, surrogates get maternity leave. Thanks to the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), you can take up to 12 weeks of surrogate maternity leave that is unpaid.
How Much Do Surrogates Get Paid Monthly?
You will be paid for 10 months in equal payments once your pregnancy has been confirmed in San Francisco. If you make 60,000, you’ll receive $6,000 a month.
Do Surrogates Have to Pay Taxes in San Francisco?
Yes, surrogates have to pay taxes. Although San Francisco doesn’t have a local income tax, California does and your surrogate journey and the surrogate pay you receive from it are compensation for a service. That means your surrogate compensation is taxable income.
The third-party escrow service we partner with will send you a 1099 form when tax season arrives. But even if you don’t receive a 1099 form that doesn’t mean your income is tax-free. We recommend contacting a local tax accountant to ensure you are following federal law.
How Much Do Surrogates Make for Twins in San Francisco?
If you are carrying twins as a surrogate in San Francisco, you can make $10,000. Similar to how your surrogate pays is determined; the exact amount will depend on certain aspects of your situation. But you do make more for carrying more than one baby as a surrogate.
Surrogates who carry more than one baby usually receive additional compensation to account for the added aspects that brings to surrogacy and your pregnancy.
