Home Loan Calculator Kenya — Monthly Mortgage Repayment

Enter your property price, down payment, interest rate, and loan term. We’ll show your monthly repayment, total cost, and how much goes to interest vs principal.

Your monthly mortgage repayment depends on the loan amount, interest rate, and term. The formula is M = P × [r(1 + r)n] / [(1 + r)n − 1], where P is the loan principal, r is the monthly rate, and n is the total number of payments. For example, a KES 5 million home with 20% down (KES 4M loan) at 13.5% over 20 years gives a monthly repayment of approximately KES 48,295 — with total interest of KES 7,590,797 over the life of the loan.

How the Mortgage Repayment Formula Works

M = P × [r(1+r)ⁿ] / [(1+r)ⁿ − 1]

Total Payments

The mortgage repayment formula calculates a fixed monthly payment that covers both principal and interest over the entire loan term. Each payment is split: early payments are mostly interest, while later payments are mostly principal. This is called amortisation.

To use the formula, divide the annual interest rate by 12 to get the monthly rate (r), and multiply the years by 12 to get total payments (n). For example, a KES 8 million loan at 13.5% for 20 years means r = 0.01125 and n = 240, giving a monthly payment of KES 96,590.
