It depends on where you live, as most countries have their own standards. In the UK, for example, the nominal (named) mains voltage is 230 V, but it is allowed to vary between +10% and -6%. The nominal frequency of this voltage is 50 Hz, and this is allowed to vary between +/-1%.

In North America, the standard nominal supply voltage is 120 V at 60 Hz.
