Assumes you pay the balance down evenly across the 12-month promotional window, so the average outstanding balance is about half the transfer. Rates revert to 25.24% afterwards.

Cost to carry a balance
Interest for a year at 25.24%$757.20
Annual / periodic fees$499
Total yearly cost$1,256.20

Simple interest on a constant balance — a plain-language upper bound rather than an amortisation schedule. Paying in full each month within the 23-day grace period avoids the interest entirely.
