Bounty Hunters earn around 10 percent of the posted bail so for a 1 million dollar bond the bounty hunter would earn a commission on that 1 million dollar bond of $100,000.00 if they catch the fugitive and bring them back.

If the bounty hunter doesn't catch the fugitive then they typically don't earn any money.

A bounty hunter will do all they can and won't stop looking for you until they catch you and will cross state lines if need be.

So if someone skips out on bail and crosses state lines don't think that you will get away.
