According to the [Pacific Fertility Center](https://www.pfcdonoragency.com/become-a-donor/egg-donor-faqs), "The fee paid to egg donors for completing a donor cycle is $10,000. If you have any questions regarding the fee paid to egg donors, please do not hesitate to contact us. There are many reasons for a woman to choose to become an egg donor. For many egg donors, the fee paid is not the main reason for egg donation. Rather, the satisfaction of participating in the miracle of life is the greatest compensation paid to egg donors." ## Is the compensation received, taxable?  Yes. Compensation for egg donation is considered taxable income by the Internal Revenue Service and the egg donor agency is obligated to report this income to the IRS. You will receive a [Form 1099](https://www.irs.gov/forms-pubs/about-form-1099-misc) at the beginning of the year after your egg donation so you can report your earnings and pay the appropriate taxes. Depending on your tax bracket, that is how much you will get taxed on your income from this donation. For example, if you got paid $10,000 and were taxed at the self-employment rate of 30.3%, you only make $6,970.00.
