How much does it cost to freeze sperm?
What 29 fertility clinics, sperm banks, andrology labs and at-home kit companies in 16 states post on their own pages for freezing sperm and keeping it frozen, each in its own words, and what the cancer and fertility societies say about banking it.
Clinics, sperm banks and labs post $150 to $2,045 to freeze sperm given in person, and at-home kits $199 to $2,250, then $225 to $900 a year to keep it frozen. What a price buys differs: one sample or several, a set number of vials, with or without the first year of storage and the required infectious disease tests. Insurance usually pays only when treatment such as chemotherapy may cause infertility, and 23 states require some plans to cover it then.
What a sperm freezing price covers
Freezing sperm (cryopreservation, or sperm banking) means giving a semen sample at the clinic, bank or lab, or collecting it at home with a kit and mailing it back the same day. The lab checks it, mixes it with a protective solution and freezes it in several vials in liquid nitrogen. Most providers price the first sample (sometimes a set number of vials), then charge less for each extra sample or vial, and bill storage by the month or the year, with the first year often included.
Two costs sit outside many prices: the infectious disease blood tests a lab needs before it can use the sperm with a partner or a surrogate, and shipping the vials to a clinic later. Each row below keeps the provider's own words for what its price includes.
“For postpubertal males, ejaculated semen cryopreservation is an established technology.”
“Ideally, multiple samples should be obtained for cryopreservation to support options of future intrauterine insemination and/or IVF”

“Surgical sperm retrieval is an alternative strategy for males who cannot ejaculate via the aforementioned techniques, or who have azoospermia or insufficient sperm in the ejaculate to freeze”

What ASCO and ASRM say about banking sperm first
In the words of the American Society of Clinical Oncology's 2018 guideline and the American Society for Reproductive Medicine's 2026 committee opinion.
“Sperm, oocyte, and embryo cryopreservation are considered standard practice and are widely available.”
“providers should advise patients regarding potential threats to fertility as early as possible in the treatment process so as to allow for the widest array of options for fertility preservation”
“Sperm collection should be performed before the administration of gonadotoxic therapies such as chemotherapy or radiation therapy, as well as before surgical treatment if possible.”
“Affordability is a key barrier to patients accessing fertility preservation services. All health insurance should cover established fertility preservation services inclusive of long-term storage and subsequent use of cryopreserved materials/tissues as standard of care.”
States that require plans to cover fertility preservation
23 states' laws require some health plans to cover fertility preservation, usually when a medical treatment may cause infertility. Self-insured employer plans are not bound by state law, so ask your plan.
- California: Fertility preservation is a covered basic health service when a covered treatment may cause infertility (all plans except Medi-Cal and self-insured plans).
- Colorado: Large-group plans must also cover standard fertility preservation.
- Connecticut: Fertility preservation is covered when a medically necessary treatment may cause infertility.
- Delaware: Standard fertility preservation is covered when a medically necessary treatment may cause infertility.

- Hawaii: For plans issued or renewed after December 31, 2026 (Act 218 of 2026), insurers, mutual benefit societies and HMOs must cover standard fertility preservation services (as defined by the 2018 American Society of Clinical Oncology guidelines) when a medically necessary, cancer-related treatment may cause infertility. Storage is not part of the required coverage.

- Kentucky: Since 2023, health plans (including student plans) must cover egg and sperm preservation, with a year of storage, when a medically necessary treatment may cause infertility.

How long frozen sperm lasts
Storage is billed for as long as the vials stay frozen, so how long they keep matters to the total.
“Here we report the birth of twins from in vitro fertilization using semen stored for approximately 40 years.”
“The study first found that the frozen sperm's survival rate after thawing did decline over the 15 year study period - from 85% to 74% survival. However, this decline made little difference to the pregnancy and live birth rate in women using these samples for donor insemination, with cumulative live birth rates of 82.17%, 80.21% and 80.00% in the three storage groups respectively.”
The Hunan study used screened donor sperm, which its authors say is not necessarily representative of sperm from the general population.
A semen analysis says how many vials one sample makes
A low count means fewer vials per sample, so more samples for the same number of future tries. Many providers run the analysis as part of the freezing; a home test gives you the number before you book.

Common questions about sperm freezing costs
How much does it cost to freeze sperm?
25 US providers we found post a price for freezing sperm on their own pages: $150 to $2,250, depending on how many samples or vials the price covers and whether storage is included. 8 of those prices include some storage, usually the first year. After that, storage is billed separately: $225 to $900 a year at the 21 providers that post a yearly fee.
How much does it cost to store frozen sperm a year?
The 21 clinics, sperm banks and labs that post a one-year storage fee for sperm name $225 to $900 a year. Several sell multi-year storage for less per year, and some charge the same yearly fee for sperm, eggs or embryos.
How much does an at-home sperm freezing kit cost?
4 providers post $199 to $2,250 for a kit that you collect at home and mail to their lab for freezing, most with a semen analysis and some with the first year of storage; storage after that is billed yearly.
Does insurance cover sperm freezing?
Usually only when a medical treatment such as chemotherapy, radiation or surgery may cause infertility. 23 states have laws requiring some health plans to cover fertility preservation in that case, though some exclude storage, and self-insured employer plans are not bound by state laws. Freezing for other reasons is usually self-pay.
How long can sperm stay frozen?
For decades: a 2013 report described twins born from IVF with semen stored for about 40 years. In a study of 119,558 samples at a Chinese sperm bank, survival after thawing fell from 85% to 74% over 15 years, but live birth rates with donor insemination stayed about the same.
Should I freeze sperm before cancer treatment?
ASCO's guideline says sperm, egg and embryo freezing are standard practice and that doctors should raise fertility as early as possible. ASRM says sperm should be collected before chemotherapy, radiation or surgery where possible, ideally several samples, and that surgical sperm retrieval is an option when a sample cannot be produced.
