The amount of money you'll need to pay for a surety bond is directly proportional to the kind of bond that you need. Be conscious of the fact that certain bonds are quite affordable while others might be rather costly. Each surety bond has its own pricing structure. Yet, the cost of surety bonds ranges anywhere from 1% to 15% of the entire amount of the bond. Construction bonds often cost up to ten percent or more of the bond's face value since the construction industry is considered to be one of the riskiest industries.
