Maintenance Costs per Element/Unit?

We can figure out supply consumption, but how much State Funds do particular units or types cost to maintain? I can't find a place with that info.
Anyone else have a trick for this?

It must be in the GameLogic file. Look at the Settings folder. It is the single most important file of internal game rules.

Thanks. It is in there on line 334 et seq. of the GameLogic file I find
milPercUnitUpkeep = 1 // % of each Unit cost that will be paid as "maintenance" upkeep
milMilitaryUnitUpkeepGobalCoeffH = 20 // then multiplied further by this coefficient (x0.2)
milTrenchReductionUpkeep = 10 // each trench level reduces by 10% upkeep cost (garrisoning & wintering)
Which I interpret as 1% * 20% = 0.2% per turn of unit Money cost (or other resources as well?)
Entrenchment as a proxy for inactivity makes sense.
I don't see anything for ships in port vs. put to sea, but maybe that big cost differential is taken care of by fuel costs of movement and added supply usage?
I am wondering if there is a faction modifer for professional military, since the above seems low compared with the changes in total maintenance.
