At the moment, about 46% of net, but I take the mortgage and utilities and my fiancee does food expenses, saves, and invests the rest of our joint income. The leftover is further saving or spending money, mostly.
It's right around 25% of our net joint income.

0% as my house is mortgage free but probably 5% annually towards property tax.
I was about to ask what country this is, because off the top of my head 5% in property tax sounds crazy - However just worked my own out at 4 to 5%... so that ruined my day a little :/
~12% of my net
That is 12% of my net income only, not total household income (wife's income, mother's social security, and soon-to-be expected income from our rental property, which has no mortgage).

London (Central East) Rent is 17% of my after-tax income. Bills are harder to calculate, but probably another 5%.
(If I were paying the rent and bills entirely myself, it'd be closer to 50%.)

Our mortgage is ~11% of household take-home pay (moved up in job, did not move up in house)
We live in rural Minnesota, wife is a nurse, I work remotely for a company out of NYC.

A nicer suburb of San Francisco. At the moment about 33% of net, going up to 36% next month. Yay!
22% of gross income -- which actually seems quite high, considering our income level.
18%. But I like to dump a little extra each month, so 22%.
I live 15 minutes outside of town.

Atlanta, GA – 14% gross, 23% net. Utilities are an additional 3%.
15%
Edit: For those of you with very favorable percentages, if you don’t mind, what part of the world/states are you in, and how much is remote work enabling this?
Looking for single family residence since we have kids now, and it seems if we want to live in similar upscale neighborhood with good schools, we will need to put 25% towards mortgage & HOA. 2 years ago, it would have been only 12-15%.
