There is no hard rule regarding how much money is required.

Enough to support your parents during their stay.

I guess $5000 bank balance + income proof might be enough. If X is earning, say $60K per year, and he/she has $5000 in bank balance, he should be able to support both his parents easily.

Based on my personal and friends experience, the visa officer looks at pay stubs and bank balances mainly for H4 and F1/F2 visas. He is more concerned about 'social and economic ties in the home country' for visitor visa. I know a priest who is earning very less (I dont know how much) couldn't get H4 for his wife and child because the visa officer thought his salary is not enough to support 3 people. But, I never heard of a visitor visa being rejected because there is not enough bank balance.

Hello Everybody, I have heard that, more the money, the more the chance of positive result.
Keep more than sufficient amount of money could cost you while your trip.
This is the best way, calculate by yourself and than double that money. And pray to God, that officer was in good mood, while your files comes to him.
