Hello, we will be implementing Transactional replication to replicate the production database to a reporting server (the reporting server will be read only). I would like to know if there is a general value for performance impact that I can use as a rough guideline.

I realize there are many variables that will impact performance and only testing can give a true picture but if I could get a ball park figure this would be give me a good place to start.

Thanks everyone!

ummm...why are you using Transactional Replication, and not Snapshot replication? If the minimum data-latency (i.e. how old is the data that the boss can tolerate ) is in hours rather than in seconds, you might be much better off using Snapshot replication. Replication each transaction will slow down transactions, and hogs resources. If the report-users are willing to work with data that is a couple of hours old, you might not need transaction replication.
