Balance transfer calculator
Stay put — 6 mo at 24%$300
Transfer fee (3%)$150
Promo interest at 10.99%$137.38
You save$12.63

Assumes you pay the balance down evenly across the 6-month promotional window, so the average outstanding balance is about half the transfer. Rates revert to 24.24% afterwards.

Cost to carry a balance
Interest for a year at 24.24%$727.20
Annual / periodic fees$0
Total yearly cost$727.20

Simple interest on a constant balance — a plain-language upper bound rather than an amortisation schedule. Paying in full each month within the 25-day grace period avoids the interest entirely.
