FAQ
Purpose of Retainage Retainage, also referred to as a ?hold back,? helps the owner ensure a contractor sufficiently completes the project, and that the work meets with their approval and terms of the contract. It also provides a financial incentive for the contractor to see the project through to its successful finish.
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.
For example, if the complete project cost is $200,000 to be paid in five progress payments and the percentage to be retained is 5%, the calculation would be as follows: 200,000 x 0.05 = 10,000 total retainage amount. 10,000 divided by 5 = 2,000 retainage withheld from each progress payment.

A retention bond allows the retainer to receive the payment in full instead of a partial 90 to 95 percent of the agreed amount. It also provides additional funds to remedy an issue before the project's completion. Furthermore, it helps prevent construction companies from defaulting.
