There are no "common" payment plans. Some states regulate bail bondsmen on a state level and through the insurance commissioners office.. the length of payment options is determined by their rules. If there is no regulations in place for the bail bondsmen in a state then the bonding agency it self determines what it would allow.

Bail money can come from the the private funds of the individual who is charged, or his family. Also, there are businesses called "Bail Bondsmen" who will, for a fee, loan bail money to the defendant. Their business is to make a return on this investment by charging a fee or interest on the bail amount that is put at risk. (i.e.- for putting up a bail of $1,000. they may charge a $100. fee) If the defendant "skips" and fails to appear in court, the bail bondsman is then out the entire $1,100. Sometimes they can have large amounts of money at risk and this does not make bail bondsmen happy. They will sometimes hire people to locate and return the missing defendant so that they can recovere their money.

For the court, the question would be, "Are you a flight risk?" If not, then what is amount of bail commensurate with the offense you are charged with (e.g.- lesser crimes = lesser bail - more serious crimes = higher bail). For the bail bondsman the question is; What is this customer's flight risk AND how difficult will it be to find him if he flees, AND what amount shall I charge for putting my bail account at risk? (Usually bail bondsmen charge about 10% of the amount set by the court).
