Another 5%-7% go to core infrastructure costs (AWS, Azure, Snowflake, etc). Typically support consumes about perhaps 5%-7% of your revenue at scale (excluding customer success) in most SaaS models. It could be more or less, but that’s a rough way to think about it. So at $100m in ARR, you might be spending $5m-$7m on your support team.
