How Much Should Working Children Contribute?

My daughter finished A levels this year and is working as a waitress until a better job turns up.I think she should start contributing to the household budget now and also begin to do a few jobs round the house to help. At present she is earning around £500 per month but pays out £150 to cover car insurance /car tax/ repairs etc and £35 for her mobile phone.I thought a sensible amount to ask for was £100 BUT if she fails to do any housework (very likely!) raise it to £150.Does this seem reasonable? Has anyone who has had experience of this with their children able to advise?
thanks,ac89
