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 5.99% afterwards.

Interest for a year at 5.99%$179.70
Annual / periodic fees$0
Total yearly cost$179.70

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.
