My fiancee and I do this, the percentages we each contribute is closer to 50% of our paychecks each and we use that to cover all the bills, groceries and nights out. The rest we have in personal accounts to use as we please.

Same here. Shared joint account for bills and stuff, personal accounts for our personal stuff. It has been working well for us for many years, no arguments about money.

Same situation with us. My partner and I have a joint account that we each pay into proportional to our income (which amounts to ~50% of our income each) to cover rent, bills, pet expenses, fun stuff we do together, stuff for the house... The rest of our money stays in our own separate accounts for us to use on stuff we do without the other person (hobbies, hangouts with friends, clothing, personal purchases). It's worked super well so far!
