    See the exact shilling difference in interest paid when borrowing under Reducing Balance vs. Flat Rate methods.

    Reducing Balance Method

    Recommended

    Interest is recalculated each month on your declining principal balance.

    Monthly Payment:KES 16,607
    Total Interest Payable:KES 97,858
    Effective Annual Rate (EAR):12% p.a.

    Flat Rate Method

    Higher Cost

    Interest is charged on the initial full loan amount every month regardless of repayments.

    Monthly Payment:KES 18,889
    Total Interest Payable:KES 180,000
    Effective Annual Rate (EAR):~22.2% p.a.
    By choosing Reducing Balance instead of Flat Rate, you save KES 82,142 in total interest!
