25-30% of take home sounds about right to me.

In 1970 my first wage packet for working a 37.5 hour week in print as an apprentice was £7.50
I got paid at the same time £40 a week to play football (two games) never been so well off.
My daugther doesn't pay any rent, my youngest son (24) pays £100 per month for that he gets his room, washing, ironing, food at home, packed lunch and the £100 goes into a bank account for him when he finally leaves.

My first pay packet would have been about £900ish. I really cant remember.
Its weird to see how little was alot of money back in the day. Was reading the Moonraker novel where James Bond talks about earning mega bucks, £1500 a year!!!
Hard to believe that that was once mega bucks. I get more than that in interest per year!
