Ignoring the swearing, AFAIK, it is only 75% (for flights >3.5km) of the cost of the ticket (inclusive of any carrier imposed charges) but importantly not the taxes.for a LHR-ORD segment for a non-connecting pax, these are a significant portion of the fare paid.

There is a great thread, refreshed for the new decade, that answers many of these questions and it is always worth checking it out even if you think you know the regulations https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/brit...61-2004-a.html
