Typically, retention in a construction contract is set at between three to five per cent of the overall project value. The contractor will still receive instalment or stage payments, but the percentage is deducted from the interim payments.

A Simple Example of Fixed-rate Retainage To calculate your expected holdback, simply multiply the scheduled payment amount by the retainage rate. In this case, a $30,000 payment x 10% retainage would equal $3,000 in holdback for each payment.
