Cost to carry a balance
Interest for a year at 11.45%$343.50
Annual / periodic fees$0
Total yearly cost$343.50

Simple interest on a constant balance — a plain-language upper bound rather than an amortisation schedule. Paying in full each month within the 7-day grace period avoids the interest entirely.
