If you are on active duty in the military, 100% but if not 125%.

For k1 visas they send in teh i 134 which requires 100%

for cr1 visas they send in the i 864 which requires the 125%

All that said... even tho you send in the i 134 they actually see your at 100% BUT because within 90 days you marry and adjust status, they then look at the fact for those 90 days etc until AOS he/she doesnt work have a SSN etc how will you support him/her during those months...

sooo they actually will look towards you making 125% hoping to see close to those numbers instead.

You should include you, those in your house that you claim on your taxes and then the spouse/fiance

so for me i included me, my three girls, and my husband in pakistan.. for a total of 5.

Typically, all Consulates consider the 125% as the minimum for non-military sponsors. The I-134 is a fairly outdated USCIS form that USCIS no longer uses and seldom updates. Yes, some Consulates require them and all will accept them but Consulate are not USCIS.

Think 125% for Manila and understand that the Consular Officer has significant leeway in making the highly subjective decision regarding the public charge issue.
