The US FDA website says:

"The Dietary Guidelines recommend that the general population consume no more than 2,300 milligrams of sodium a day (about a teaspoon of table salt)."

That's what recommended. You asked how much is "normal per day". Many people eat far more salt than that. Remember that almost all processed and canned foods have added salt and that has to be included in the teaspoon of salt described above.
