All non-canard types: elevator downforce

Hi together,

I´m just curious: how much downforce would an elevator produce on a conventional, aerodynamically stable aircraft in unaccellerated level flight, relative to the A/C gross weight? I would expect some low single digit percentage, but has any of you confirmed figures on this?
