Content: 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. Similarly, a bounty hunter could have spent 20 years in the field but demand a much lower rate than someone who’s only been in the field for a decade because they’re not all that successful.
