The same shillings can buy different units because your band depends on average consumption, because monthly fuel and forex adjustments change, and because levies and 16% VAT are added. As a rough illustration, KES 1,000 in the ordinary band buys under 50 units once add-ons are included. Compare receipts and cut your biggest loads.
Key takeaways
- Bands, adjustments and VAT all change units.
- Your band follows your three-month average.
- KES 1,000 buys under about 50 units in many months (illustration).
- Cut big loads to stay in lower bands.
