Ask HN: What percentage of a software company's revenue should go to salaries?

[aadilrazvi]

Any example payment structures would be appreciated ie. 10% marketing, 25% salaries, etc (just an example)

[rpedela]

It depends. Because software has so little capital costs and some marketing is free or cheap because of internet, most of the cost is labor.

gun to my head: 40%
