Rent/housekeeping from older working teenage children

Hi
Question from my neighbour, her 19 year old dd is working full time, not in the greatest paid job, but earning.
She has volunteered to pay her parents some rent/housekeeping money each week but they don't know what is the going rate?
I'm not much help, I paid my parents £25/ week 20 years ago so don't have a clue what would be right now.
Any suggestions?

I would set it at 30% of her net income. And then save it up for her and give it to her when she finally leaves home.

I like your thinking Grin
Knowing my lovely neighbour she thinks the same way too, their lovely dd volunteered to make a contribution which I think says a lot about their good parenting
