Appeal Bond Calculator FAQ
How much does an appeal bond cost?
Appeal bond premiums typically range from 1% to 4% of the bond amount. Since most courts require a bond equal to 125% of the judgment, a $100,000 judgment would require a $125,000 bond with an annual premium of $1,250 to $5,000. Cash-secured appeal bonds may qualify for lower rates of 0.3-2%, while real estate-secured bonds can run up to 4%.
Why is the appeal bond more than the judgment amount?
Courts typically require appeal bonds at 100-150% of the judgment amount (125% is most common) to cover not only the original judgment but also post-judgment interest, court costs, and potential damages from the delay caused by the appeal. This protects the judgment creditor during the appeal process.
What is the difference between an appeal bond and a supersedeas bond?
An appeal bond and a supersedeas bond are essentially the same thing. Both are required when a party appeals a court judgment and wants to stay (delay) enforcement of the judgment during the appeal. The term "supersedeas" refers to the stay of execution, while "appeal bond" is the more general term. Both guarantee payment of the judgment if the appeal is unsuccessful.
