On a typical landing how much additional pitch is there before you have a tail strike?

Flew this morning on A319. As you can see, VAPP config 3 initially is only 2.5kt above VLS and the pitch is around 6 degrees. It was fluctuating between 5 to 7 degrees.
Later on, the Fo requested 2kt extra and the pitch was about 5 degrees.
Only 2 kts extra made a small but noticeable difference on the pitch.
on A319, a tail strike will occur at a pitch of 13.5 degrees with landing gear compressed.
