When we first started doing this some 20 years ago they were indeed a percentage of income, but over the years with regularly changing incomes, costs, and needs they settled out as fixed monthly dollar amounts. Changes to these amounts are now infrequent, on an 'as really needed' basis, and carefully negotiated.
