Balance transfer calculator
Stay put — 6 mo at 24%$300
Transfer fee (0%)$0
Promo interest at 4.90%$61.25
You save$238.75

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 16.90% afterwards.

Cost to carry a balance
Interest for a year at 16.90%$507.00
Annual / periodic fees$0
Total yearly cost$507.00

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.
