Whats the minimum monthly payment on an Egg card?

Can someone tell me what the minimum monthly payment on an Egg credit card would be if i had £4800 on the account?

Cant understand the jargon on their site so not sure if its 1% of the balance or 2%?

    The minimum payment is the full Revolving Balance if it is less than £5, but otherwise the greater of
    (1) 2% of the Revolving Balance or
    (2) the total of (i) interest billed on the statement on the Revolving Balance (ii) 1% of the Revolving Balance (iii) any Card Repayment Protection premium shown on your statement and (iv) billed fees for late or returned payments shown on your statement or
    (3) £5.

    So the biggest number of:
    (1) 4800 x 2%
    (2) (monthly interest on 4800) + (4800 X 1%) + PPI + Fees
    (3) 5

    So if it's a 0% offer, and you've no fees or PPI you'll pay £96.
    If it's not a 0% offer and you're on 16.9% APR with no fees or PPI it'd be
    (4800 x 1%) + (4800 x 1.3097%) = £110.87

    The minimum amount will always be shown on your online statement ;)

    Unless you're stoozing, why would you only want to pay the minimum payment anyway?
