According to a survey conducted among mortgage holders in New Zealand in July 2024, around 59 percent of mortgage holders had mortgage repayments greater than 30 percent of their household income. Borrowers with mortgage repayments that are 30 percent or greater than household income are considered at risk of mortgage repayment stress. Nonetheless, some borrowers may actively choose to pay a certain proportion of their income toward their mortgage to pay off loans faster.
