Once a week - 10%
Once every two weeks - 20%
Once a month - 25%

I test and do them whenever it says so, if it doesn't say I do a 5-10% once every 2-3 weeks

i usually do a 10% water change every week even if my levels are low. but every1 does it their own way. if u have the extra time IMO do one every week it cant hurt.

Most of what you read & hear says to do 10 to 20 % a week. I dont follow those to a tee but I will say smaller regular water changes are very good and will keep you tank more stable. Better then doing larger changes mothly etc.

I do a 10% every week to week and a half. Gives me a chance to really check things out function-wise with my equipment, etc. on a more frequent basis.

If you can get away with it do a larger water change less frequently, you will save money on salt and water. I started doing only a 20% water change a month but as I got more fish I started doing 15% every 2 weeks and now I usually do a 10% every week since I have more fish..

5-10% /week is best. But regularity is the key
