You save$150.25

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 17.99% afterwards.

Cost to carry a balance
Interest for a year at 17.99%$539.70
Annual / periodic fees$0
Total yearly cost$539.70

Simple interest on a constant balance — a plain-language upper bound rather than an amortisation schedule. Paying in full each month within the 21-day grace period avoids the interest entirely.
