The Bureau of Labor Statistics doesn’t collect information about bounty hunters. This career, instead, falls under the category of private detectives and investigators. As of May 2019, the median bounty hunter salary within the field of private detectives and investigators was $50,510 per year. Other estimates for average pay are much lower, and it’s highly dependent on location. Some states don’t allow for professional bounty hunting. There is no such thing as a yearly bounty hunter salary. Rather, bounty hunter pay is based on a percentage of the bond for each fugitive caught. According to BountyHunterEdu.org_,_ this usually amounts to between 10 to 20 percent of a bond. In addition, years of experience don’t quite dictate bounty hunter pay either, since it’s all about success rate and negotiations rather than getting annual raises over time. An experienced bounty hunter may be able to demand a larger percentage of a bond than one who has much less proven success.
