How much of the 10 percent does the bail agent give the bonding company?
There are several types of bail agents or bondsmen as they are commonly called. The most common bondsman works unders a surety (insurance) company. They are licensed insurance agents. The bondsman will pay any where from 10 to 20% of the bail bond premium fee , ( the 10% of the face value of the bail bond), they collect from a client, to their surety company. In other words, the bondsman gets to keep 80 to 90 percent of the bail bond premium fee they collect. The rest goes to the surety company. Another type of bondman is a professional of property bondsman. In this case the bondsman pledges real property with the state of county that they wish to operate in, as collateral to gaurantee that they can pay off any bond they write if the defendant skips bail. This bondsman, keeps the full amount of the bail bond premium fee that he or she collects. The last and least common type of bondsman is one that pledges cash or securities with the state or county they operate in in. Again, this collateral is used to guarantee the ability of the bondsman to pay off a bail bond if the defendant fails to appear and can not be located and returned to court or jail. Since this bondsman is pledging his or her own money, they keep the full amount of the bail bond premium fee collected. The term bondsman is gender neutral. Slightly over half of the bail agents in the U. S. are women.

A bail bond is an insurance policy purchased to guarantee the appearance of a defendant in court. Once the defendant has been sentenced, the trial is over and any bail bonds are generally "exonerated" by the court, meaning that the insurance company is no longer responsible for guaranteeing the defendant's appearance. The only reason to get a bail bond after sentencing would be if the case was on appeal, and the defendant was trying to stay out of jail while the appeal is pending. That said, if you still owe the bail bondsman money, by all means YES! You need to pay the bondsman's fee (called the premium).
