I doubt it. If we go by the guideline that your housing costs shouldn't exceed 30% of your salary (which I usually understood to be pre-tax), converting that to post-tax for a relatively low-income job is not going to bring that down to 10%.

Sure, that's just a guideline, but it's presumably based on what is (or once was) reasonable and possible to expect.
