The minimum base maintenance rate (before modifiers such as 50% off for bases) is 5% of the build cost.

However, as you pay for more and more maintenance bonus, the value only increases. Going from 6% to 5% is a big leap compared to going from 20% to 19%

What the hay SJ? Can you be a little more clear.
In our example we will use a base that cost 6480 minerals (only) for ease of calculation.

% Maint. cost
5% = 324
6% = 388.8
--------------
64.8 Differance

% Maint. cost
19% = 1231.2
20% = 1296
---------------
64.8 Differance
