Some mortgage holders are in for a tough adjustment come 2024.

A Reserve Bank report says the average household will spend about 18% of their income on interest payments alone by mid-next year.

Kiwibank Chief Executive, Steve Jurkovich, told Mike Hosking that the upside is the doubling of interest rates comes from a low base.

He says in context, the number is pretty normal compared to what we've seen over the past decade.
