M-PESA Ratiba lets you schedule recurring payments. Calculate the total cost across all scheduled occurrences, including the flat KES 5 Ratiba fee per transaction.

Per-Transaction Cost

Each scheduled payment is charged the standard M-PESA send-money fee for that amount, plus KES 5 on top for the Ratiba service itself.

Total Cost Over Time

Set how often the payment recurs (weekly or monthly) and for how long, and the calculator multiplies the per-transaction cost across every scheduled occurrence to show the total fees paid over the full schedule.
