    About 20% of my income but voted for 10-15% as out of houshold income less than 15% goes on rent. IMO % of household income is much more relevant for non-singles if both people are working.

    approx. 45% of salary; rather live better with less

    other things in HK are cheaper than rent comparing to back home. I'd aim for 25% at home but 35% here, which is what I pay.

    Compared to net salary, not including the annual disappointment (bonus)

    This keeps coming back as "new" - anyone else?

    Yes, me too - is it because people are adding to the poll?

    Yes - usually because someone votes in the poll but does not leave a comment.

    40% percentage because my better half is taking care of our little daughter at the moment and not active working...
