I just did. Will you now answer mine please ?

FWIW, I just created ext2, ext3 and ext4 filesystems on a ~10 GB
partition with default settings, and the overhead was roughly 3% in the
worst case (ext3 and ext4 due to the journal file). Of course if you
force a huge journal file size or inode count, I guess you can reach 7%.
