Pricing & timing

What to expect.

Generic pricing

Payment bonds guarantee that a contractor will pay subcontractors, laborers, and material suppliers. Typical Pricing:. • Small contracts: Commonly around 1–5% of the contract value. • Larger contracts: Rates generally scale lower as contract size increases. • Payment bonds: Often paired with performance bonds at a combined rate. • Full underwriting required: Credit, financials, experience, and bonding history reviewed. Payment bonds are required on most public projects alongside performance bonds. The Miller Act requires payment bonds on all federal projects over $150,000. Rates may vary based on risk factors.
