It really depends on what state you are in. Typically the bond premium (the amount you pay a bail agent) is between 10%-15% of the bond. So in the case of a $100,000 bond, you would pay somewhere between $10,000 - $15,000. In addition to the premium, you will most likely have to put up other assets equivalent to the total bond as collateral with the bail agent. Ultimately if the person fails to show up for court the bondsman is responsible for the full amount of the bond ($100,000). This is the value that bail agents bring to the criminal justice system. By letting someone out of jail pretrial, and financially binding them and others (family, friends, bail agent, etc.) the person is more likely to show up in court to have their case heard. Without this financial accountability and the bail agent to ensure their appearance, most people would never show up at court (much like they don't when released through government sponsored "free bail" programs).
