The amount you should pay for a $1,000 bond can vary depending on the type of bond you are referring to. If you are asking about a surety bond, which is typically used for bail purposes, you would typically pay a non-refundable fee to a bail bondsman or bail bond company to obtain the bond.

The fee for a surety bond is usually a percentage of the total bail amount set by the court. In many cases, this fee is around 10% of the bail amount. So, for a $1,000 bond, you would typically pay a fee of approximately $100 to the bail bondsman.

Note that this fee is non-refundable and serves as the bail bondsman’s compensation for assuming the financial risk of posting bail on behalf of the defendant. Also, collateral may be required to secure the bond, depending on the specific circumstances of the case.

If you are referring to a different type of bond, such as a savings bond or a bond issued by a corporation or government entity, the purchase price would typically be the face value of the bond. So, for a $1,000 bond, you would pay $1,000 to purchase it.
