How Much Do Maryland Performance Bonds Cost?

Your performance bond premium depends on three main factors:

  1. Bond Amount – The total value of your contract.
  2. Credit Strength – Applicants with strong credit may qualify for rates as low as 1% of the bond amount.
  3. Project Risk – Small, low-risk projects typically cost less than complex or long-term contracts.


💡 Example: A $100,000 performance bond could cost between $1,000 and $3,000 based on credit and project type.

We work with multiple A-rated surety companies to find you the most competitive rate.
