One way to get a sense for expected cost increases is to check out investor calls for the SaaS provider.  If the SaaS provider, say SAP, Oracle, Workday, Salesforce etc. is telling its investors that moving from on premises to SaaS brings in x% more revenue then you likely have your answer.

The cost percentage increases for moving from an on-premises ERP application to a SaaS solution with the same vendor can vary widely based on several factors, including the vendor's pricing model, the specific features and functionalities utilized, and any potential hidden costs such as data migration, training, or integration. 
Generally, organizations may see an increase of 30% to 50% in ongoing operational costs when moving to a cloud-based solution, as they transition from upfront CapEx to ongoing OpEx. It's essential to conduct a thorough cost analysis, considering both short-term and long-term implications of the overall financial impact.
