How much does a $50,000 surety bond cost?

The cost of your $50,000 surety bond depends mostly on your personal credit score. Applicants with good credit usually pay premiums between 0.75% and 2.5%, which means between $375 and $1,250 per year. Applicants with bad credit, on the other hand, pay premiums in the range of 2.5% to 10%, or between $1,250 and $5,000.

As you see the $50,000 amount is not the sum required from the holder of the surety bond. Instead, this is the amount up to which a claimant on the bond can get compensated. The table below provides more estimates based on the credit score bracket you are in.

If you have bad credit, you might want to consider submitting additional information along with your application. Industry experience, strong financials or liquid assets can all contribute to a lower premium despite a less-than-stellar credit score.
