Surety bond premiums (the amount you pay) are often calculated as a percentage of the total bond amount, usually between 0.5% and 5% of the bond amount for applicants with good credit, and between 5% up to as much as 20% of the bond amount for applicants with poor credit.

However, to understand surety bonds, it may be helpful to break them down into four categories: contract bonds, judicial bonds, probate court bonds, and commercial bonds. In addition to these four categories, it's important to understand the basics of what surety bonds are, as well as how to obtain them.

The cost of a performance bond usually is less than 1% of the contract price; however, if the contract is under $1 million, the premium may run between 1% and 2%. Bonds may be more costly, depending upon the credit-worthiness of the contractor. Labor and material payment bonds are companions to the performance bond.

A bank guarantee occurs when a lending institution stands as a guarantor and promises to cover any losses when the borrower fails to do so. A bond is a deal or agreement between the borrower and lender that acts as a surety of the payment for either borrower or lender.

There are many types of surety bonds, and each state has its own bonding requirements for different industries. However, there are three major types of surety bonds that you should know: license and permit bonds, construction and performance bonds, and court bonds.

Each bond has a designated bond amount. Surety bond companies will determine the bond rate based on risk and then charge a surety bond premium in the range 1-15% of the bond amount.

A performance bond is a three-party arrangement between you (the principal), the surety and the project owner (also called the Obligee). In essence, the surety company is agreeing to guarantee that your company will perform its contractual obligations to the project owner.

The cost of a performance bond can vary by the type of bond and the client, but a good rule of thumb is that it costs one to three percent (1-3%) of the contractual amount. The cost of a performance bond may go up by 1.5% to 2% on riskier contracts, or down even lower if your financial rating is stellar.
