Tomcat needs less than 20MB to start up.

I have seen Tomcat running on JVMs with memory settings ranging from 32MB to 8GB. 150MB isn't unreasonable at first glance but it all depends on the app. > So I'm looking for some Tomcat memory requirements info, even if it's a > memory requirements to run Tomcat only, with no deployed webapp. It will > help me to argue with him. See above. The Tomcat only figure is less than 20MB. You'll need to use a profiler to determine where the memory is actually used. Also note that there is a low memory usage/ low GC pause / high throughput trade-off. Very simply you can pick any two at the expense of the third.
