Its different for everyone but I'd say 10% minimum which is still more that the US average.

This is a bit oversimplified but savings rate is the one factor to how long it takes to become financially independent. Most people will want to enjoy life a bit but a high paying thrifty SWE could theoretically save 80% of their income and retire (or be financially independent and work on whatever they want) in about 6 years.

That’s roughly what I did, and I retired after 12 years.
