There isn't a formula that will work for everyone. It heavily depends on the company, it's niche, it's potential of growth, personalities of owners, and much more.

If you are looking for a simple formula, here is one that I see regularly on HN:

Will you pay him a salary, or just equity?

If it's just equity, %50, with vesting.

If it's salary, than between %0 and %50, with vesting.
