Retainage is the withholding of a portion of the funds that are due to a contractor or subcontractor until the construction project is finished. It is meant to serve as a financial incentive and an assurance that the contractor will complete the project in a satisfactory manner.
In Oregon, parties who withhold retainage are limited to five percent of the amount earned with each progress payment. However, on large projects, retainage can end up being hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of dollars, withheld from payment even though it has been earned.
Retainage usually depends on substantial completion Most contracts base the deadline for retainage payments on the date of a project's substantial completion.
