APR of an egg anniversary deal?

Hi, egg are offering 0% interest fixed until 1 November 2006 on any balances transferred from now until 30 June 2006...but they charge 2.5% uncapped transfer fee. For comparison, how much would this 2.5% equate to a 12 month % interest rate?...a rough guess from me is 7.5%???
Cheers

    My result is about the same

    1.025^(12/4.5)-1=6.8%

    This doesn't take min repayments into account.

    It's sickening to pay egg £200 for a short term 0% transfer (£8000), but i guess it's still cheaper than paying MBNA 15.9% i'm currently paying. Hope MBNA offer a deal when i clear their card.
