How does ruthless get calculated?

I'm sure this was answered somewhere but I tried a few searches and didn't really find what I was looking for.

I'm looking at upgrading an armor for my Assault and considering one that has gold ruthless (charge attacks deal +30% damage). How does that actually get calculated?

Say my assault typically does 4000 damage normally and 5000 for charge attacks. Does the ruthless bonus add 30% to the entire thing (so 5000 * 1.3 = 6500 damage) or is it just 30% on the extra part that comes with the charge attack (so 4000 + (1000 * 1.3) = 5300 damage)? I know there will always be some variation but those are decent rough numbers for what my character seems to do currently without that bonus.

Around 6 million XP to unlock that trait to just see if it's good or not isn't really something I'm interested in given how much time/effort it takes to earn that much. Also if it works like the second scenario it's essentially worthless on an assault. The first scenario still isn't amazing but it's decent at least.
