Utilities are largely a fixed cost that depend on where you live, not a percentage of income. It's not like you should say "I'm rich, I should leave the air conditioner on with the doors and windows open."
It would be more realistic to contact your local utilities for an "average" bill amount (or, even better, an actual historical average for the specific house/apartment you're considering) and budget based on that, instead of trying to figure out how much it "should" be based on what you make.
