It depends on many things. If you are just starting out, five or ten minutes a day would be fine. As you go deeper, you will likely want to do more.

On retreats, people meditate for six - eight - ten hours a day. In most cases, people vary the techniques they do throughout the day.

During a regular work day, after you've gained experience, probably an hour a day is about right.

But again, it depends on many factors, and on who you are. Let your feelings be your guide. If it feels right, continue. If you start to feel off, slow down and do less. Don't let your mind force you into more than feels good. (But also don't let your mind tell you to stop!)
