It seems to work this way:
Final_maint_cost = Empire_Start_Maint_Cost + Initial_hull_maint_reduct + N*Mod_maint_cost_from_comp1 + M*Mod_maint_cost_from_comp2 +...

IE, Comp1 has Modified Maintenance Cost=20; Comp2 has Modified Maintenance Cost=-5; Comp3 has Modified Maintenance Cost=10. Hull has Modified Maintenance Cost=-90.
In Adamant, final maintanence for this hull with 4 Comp1, 2 Comp2 and 3 Comp3 will be 110%: (100-90+4*20+2*[-5]+3*10=110).
