Content: How Much Do Bounty Hunters Make? While being a bounty hunter (fugitive recovery agent) sounds exciting, it doesn’t pay particularly well. The last known salary survey found that the average bounty hunter makes approximately $36,000 a year. While that number has surely gone up since the survey was conducted in 1997 it’s not a lot considering the insurance, travel, and equipment costs needed to be a successful bounty hunter. While a lot has changed since Pat Garret was chasing down Billy the Kid 130 years ago, the central premise of bounty hunting has remained the same: catch the fugitive and return them to jail. There are two ways bounty hunters make money. The first, and most common, is finding people who skipped out on bail and return them to prison. Sometimes bail is more than a defendant can afford so they utilize a bail bond to get out. Bail bonds are provided by bondsman or bail agents.
