IT, I can't break it down into percentage of my time. I can tell you who did what percentage of the work around the house. Let me preface this by saying that for most of my married life I worked 2, and sometimes 3, jobs in addition to taking care of the house. I worked 60 to 80+ hours per week. Hubby worked one 40 hour per week job.

cleaning the house - me 100% Hubby 0%
laundry - me 100% Hubby 0%
cooking me 50% Hubby 50% (but I got to wash the dishes regardless who cooked)
grocery shopping me 95% Hubby 5%
pet care - me 95% Hubby 5%
yard work (mowing, weeding, etc.) me 100% Hubby 0%

I think this gives a good idea of the division of labor around the house.
Thanks for this!
