This puts a ceiling on 'urgent' costs at $8.8 M, or 43% of the budget of $20.4 M. [3]
This is a worthwhile analysis, but you have neglected the numerous expenses involved in supporting a large organisation. You can't have an organisation with an $8.8M budget without managers, fundraisers, HR, legal counsel, etc.. The WMF could trim its budget a lot without harming basic site function, but not as much as your method suggests.
