How the growth is worked out

Money market funds in Kenya quote an effective annual yield and earn interest daily. The calculator takes the yield you enter, removes the 15% withholding tax, and compounds the balance every month after adding your top-up.

Yields change with interest rates in the economy, so treat the result as a guide. Only invest with funds licensed by the Capital Markets Authority.
