Approx. 30 degrees (it's easy because, one there's a mark on the PFD, Horizon or whatever you want to call it) and that is generally what the autopilot will give you unless, as has been mentioned before, you select it for 15 degrees. If you remember Perf A. expects that AoB follwing an engine failure when you have to turn during your V2 climb. Most company SOP's also expect turns no greater that 30 degrees. And as for Holds, yes they are designed for 25 degrees of bank - but in real life: you type them into the FMS and drink tea while doing sums on endurance etc...
