Typical initial power setting is 40-50%.

Typical thrust to get a/c moving, depending upon model and weight, is about 35%, so the initial power setting on T.O. is slightly above the first power application after pushback.

Derated T.O. thrust might be 95%. If they do a full power T.O. at 100% the last 5% is very noticeable.

Jet engines thrust curves are similar to F1 engines(for example). Idle at 11,000(50%), loafing at 17,000(85%), linear rush to 20,000 RPM(100%).
