The bail amount is usually determined at the person's first court appearance, commonly referred as the arraignment stage. A judge has the option to either release a person on their own recognizance (OR) with a promise to appear at their next court appearance, or deny a person's OR and set bail.
Calculating a bail bond in California is done by setting the severity of the crimes, and it can be increased or decreased by a judge upon a more individualized evaluation of the person's likelihood of returning to court and being a public safety danger. But it also varies by county and city.
Bail is calculated by multiplying the number of years of the maximum penalty by either PHP 6,000, PHP 10,000, or PHP 2,000 depending on the crime and amount involved.
