Do you have at least one child of your own?
Having given birth before is a standard medical requirement for surrogacy.
What is your BMI?
Each program has its own BMI limit. Not sure? Use the last option and we will work it out from your height and weight.
Are you a non-smoker?
Programs require surrogates and egg donors who do not smoke.

Surrogate pay in Hawaii for 2026
Hawaii surrogates see typical base compensation of $48,000 to $63,000. First-time surrogates start near the lower end, and experienced surrogates reach the top. Base pay is on top of covered medical, legal, travel, and lost-wage expenses. Hawaii is a mid-tier market, which is the main reason its range lands where it does.
What drives surrogate pay in Hawaii
- Local demand. Hawaii is a solid mid-tier market. There is real, steady demand and a working agency presence, so pay lands in the middle of the national range rather than at the extremes.
- State law. Surrogacy-friendly states draw more agencies and pay more; restrictive ones can push matches out of state.
- Experience. First-time surrogates start near the bottom of the range; a prior successful journey moves you up.
- Cost of living and expenses. Base pay is separate from covered medical, legal, travel, and lost-wage expenses, which vary by area.
Hawaii surrogacy laws and how they affect pay
Surrogacy is practiced in Hawaii, and gestational arrangements are generally workable, though the legal footing is less uniform than in the most established states. Details like parentage orders can depend on the county and the specifics of your agreement, so a surrogacy-experienced attorney matters here. This is general information, not legal advice.
How Hawaii compares to the national range
Nationally, surrogates earn about $40,000 to $75,000 in base compensation in base pay. Hawaii's typical range of $48,000–$63,000 is in the middle of that band, in line with its mid-tier demand. Remember that surrogate pay is not a salary. You are paid per surrogacy journey, so the yearly "surrogate salary" figures on job sites do not reflect what you actually take home.
Who qualifies and how to get started in Hawaii
