balance transfer advice plzzz

i did a balance transfer from tesco to barclay card. it's interest free for 20 months. how do i work out my monthly payments? do they take out balance transfer fee on first statement? the first month seems pretty steep :eek:. it has no breakdown, just my minimum payment.

    No, it's added to the balance then the min payment is taken out.
    loose does not rhyme with choose but lose does and is the word you meant to write.
