Transfer fee (0%)$0
Promo interest at 1.99%$49.75
You save$550.25

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 18.00% afterwards.

Cost to carry a balance
Interest for a year at 18.00%$540
Annual / periodic fees$0
Total yearly cost$540

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.
