Mortgage is 11% of my salary (post-tax, excluding bonuses and my wife’s salary). We are spending a good amount of cash and time renovating, so our real housing expenditure is somewhat larger than that.
Broadly speaking, I consider numbers up to ~20% sane. Much beyond that starts to seem ill-advised (but personal preferences are important here, too).
