Egg donation cost in 2023
The overall cost of egg donation can range from $15,000 for a small cohort of donor eggs from in-house egg donor programs to over $40,000 for private egg donation through an egg donor agency. Egg donation is typically more expensive than a “traditional” IVF journey because there are more parties involved in the process. The total cost of egg donation includes associated costs like:
- Agency fees
- Insurance costs
- Fertility lawyer costs
- Egg donor compensation
- Any travel fees
- And more
There is a fair amount of variation in total egg donation costs depending on many different factors. The type of donor eggs you choose, your fertility clinic, your insurance options and more will all play a role in the total financial impact.
