A braking device for a vehicle includes an operating characteristics setting portion for setting an operating characteristic which is a relationship between the input electric power to the electro-magnetic valve and a pressure difference between a master cylinder side and a wheel cylinder side with respect to the electro-magnetic valve, based on the input electric power at the time when the accumulator pressure detected by the accumulator pressure detecting portion first falls to a value equal to or less than a threshold value accumulator pressure by changing the input electric power towards an opening side of the electro-magnetic valve in response to a time lapsed after a predetermined value of the pilot pressure has been generated by the pilot pressure generating portion by first closing the electro-magnetic valve thereby to suppress the manufacturing cost.
