But how much more expensive is a 40yr old developer as opposed to an entry-level one?

Depending on location, probably less than you think. Because of the general shortage of developers, juniors are probably overpaid. This makes senior positions 1.5x the cost at the high end with 1.2x->1.3x at the low end.

Anecdote: I'm now paid more than 2x my starting salary, 6 years ago. Same company.
