In order to determine how much you need to save for retirement, you first need to define what a successful retirement means to you. The next step is to do a budget to determine what is needed to finance your desired lifestyle. This is a better approach than simply randomly choosing a % of your current income.
There are calculators available on many websites to help you determine how much you will need to save to generate a specific retirement income. Given the complexity of retirement planning though, you would be best served working with a financial or retirement planner.
