Estimate a surrogacy journey budget after insurance, reimbursements and contingency.

How the calculation works
Core agency, carrier, medical and legal costs are totaled, then contingency and reimbursements are applied.
Worked example: starting scenario
| Agency and coordination fees ($) | 35000 |
|---|---|
| Carrier compensation and expenses ($) | 65000 |
| Medical, fertility and insurance costs ($) | 50000 |
| Legal, escrow and travel costs ($) | 18000 |
| Insurance or employer reimbursement ($) | 15000 |
| Contingency (%) | 12 |
| Estimated net surrogacy cost | $173,160.00 |
|---|---|
| Gross planned cost | $168,000.00 |
| Contingency allowance | $20,160.00 |
| Coverage and reimbursement | $15,000.00 |
Important limitations
Multiple cycles, complications, insurance exclusions and state law can materially change total cost.
Define the contingency base
Agency, carrier, medical and legal entries are added before the percentage contingency. The entered reimbursement is then subtracted from that gross budget. Check whether an agency package already includes legal work or travel, and whether reimbursements arrive after bills are paid. Neither the total nor the contingency predicts how many medical attempts will be needed.
