Track your expenses for a month ; I budgeted based on my spending habits . And I tweak as I go

It’s not a percentage. It’s your budget. So go back a few months with your bank statements, average your spend for each category and plan your budget. You can tweek It month to month as you learn and adjust. Think gas, groceries, household.
