Money to stay within commutable distance, but also the cost of the commute itself.

E.g. my yearly cost of commuting when I did added equivalent to about $2.5k/year in after tax transport costs.

I've typically told recruiters about 20%, from a high base, and frankly that is lower than it ought to be when accounting for both the time and costs, but given I already live where I live, I feel I could justify it in terms putting extra cash straight into my pension pot and retiring earlier. But not enough to lower it further to find a point where someone is more likely to take me up on it.
