How it works

The calculator converts the effective annual yield into a monthly rate, adds interest each month, deducts 15% withholding tax, and reinvests the rest. KRA’s resident WHT rate on interest is 15%. Published MMF yields are usually net of the fund’s management fee; check your fund’s fact sheet.
