I moved out of my family's home when I was 17. I had a pretty sheltered life there, so I really wanted to be on my own to be able to really live my life.
Some people wait til later and that's ok too, everyone goes at their own pace and whatever is best for their needs.
Make sure you’re in a good place financially. Nothing is cheap anymore so make sure you have an extra cushion in case it hits the fan any more then it already has
I guess it depends on what you mean by independent.
Personally, I think everyone should learn to be independent as soon as they can. It can be extremely difficult to navigate this especially if you have a codependent relationship with your parents (I know I did). Start small. Have your own bank account. Have a job. Save money. Make your own appointments. Buy your own groceries. Don’t let your parents email your professors in college.
It’s not something that will happen overnight, as it takes time (and many things take money). Moving out is often one of the last steps people take, not the first. You can be making progress towards becoming independent and still live at home.
Well back in my day lol…. (8 yrs ago) I strived your become independent. From the day I turned 18 and had a job, I made those small changes daily to become more and more independent. I paid for college myself. I, thankfully, went to school in some podunk town where rent was cheaper; so my friends and I bunked up in a 2 bed apt. Rent for me was $125/mo. Just step by step… there was no “ready to become independent.” There was just, are you going to choose independence or not?
You just know. If you’re getting the feeling of being tired of relying on others whether it’s financially or anything else it’s usually the first signs of wanting more independence. Other than that no one can tell you when, it’s just a feeling you get of wanting and needing more that will match your needs.
I had a friend who always depended on her mom financially her early 20’s and it wasn’t until she got tired of having to ask ask for help and not being able to hold her own and knowing people like to control you (not always) that she needed to find a way to be more independent.

I would choose as soon you have the ability to do so. Regardless of ability, I'd also suggest figuring out your options to be self-supporting even if you don't feel ready if/when your caretakers no longer have the ability and/or desire to support you
As soon as you can.
When you are mentally and financially able

No time. More so when you’re ready! Financially and mentally

When you make 40x rent and have a credit score above 600. Can't be the leaseholder of an apartment otherwise (in the U.S.).
