Income calculation

in Credit cards
Hi everyone,

I'm planning to transfer my existing debt of about £1300 (Barclays Initial) to a 0% balance transfer card (haven't decided which one yet). I would like to use a pre-application form to check my eligibility. How should I calculate my annual income? I've started a new job in April and I'm paid weekly £398 before tax. Should I just multiple it by 52 weeks? The problem is I work through a recruitment agency and the job is for about 7 months (I might be offered a contract after that).
Thank you for your help.

    Don't get too impatient. 28 minutes isn't long to wait for an answer. Not everyone is up as early as you on a Saturday morning. :)

    EDIT: Oops, sorry. 24 hours and 28 minutes! Must learn to look more closely.

    I'd probably do it that way if it were me. After all, nobody can guarantee still being in a job in seven months time.
