Compounded Port Tax Formulas

1. Import Duty

35% of Customs Value

2. Excise Duty

20% to 35% Rate

Calculated on (Customs Value + Import Duty).

3. Value Added Tax (VAT)

16% Rate

Calculated on (Customs Value + Duty + Excise).

4. Levies (IDF & RDL)

2.5% IDF + 2.0% RDL

Mandatory import declaration & railway levies on customs value.

Reducing Balance Method (Banks)

Kenyan commercial banks (KCB, Equity, Absa, NCBA, Stanbic) use reducing balance compounding where interest is calculated on the remaining loan principal each month.

Compound EMI Equation
EMI = [P × r × (1+r)^n] / [(1+r)^n - 1]
P = Principal, r = Monthly Interest Rate, n = Tenure Months

Fixed Monthly Installment: Equated Monthly Installment (EMI) remains constant throughout loan tenure.

Shifting Balance Ratio: Early monthly payments consist mostly of interest, while later payments pay down principal faster.

KMRC Affordable Mortgage Cap 9.5% p.a. Fixed

Upfront Bank Fees & Statutory Taxes

Flat Rate Method

Interest = P × R × T

Mandatory tax levied on bank processing fees.
