What drives egg donor pay in Washington
- Local demand. Washington sits at the top of the national demand curve. Intended parents are plentiful, the cost of living is high, and agencies compete for donors and surrogates here, which pushes pay toward the upper end.
- Cost of living. Fertility clinics in higher-cost parts of Washington generally pay more to reflect a donor's time and travel.
- Your donor profile. Repeat donors, and donors with in-demand traits, are offered more. First cycles start lower.
- Clinic vs agency. National networks with a Washington presence often pay above small local clinics.
How Washington compares to the national range
Nationally, egg donors earn about $6,000 to $15,000 per cycle. Washington's typical first-cycle range of $9,000–$13,000 is above that national midpoint, which fits its top-tier demand. Remember that egg donor pay is not a salary. You are paid per donation cycle, so the yearly "egg donor salary" figures on job sites do not reflect what you actually take home.
