can anyone help me work out an APR?

Hi, hoping someone can help me, For 2014 i am going to be charged interest on my site fees if i pay over 12 months rather than a lump sum and i wanted to work out the apr to see how it compares to, say, a credit card.
The amount owing is 3100 and the interest will be 372. can anyone tell me the apr or how to calculate it please?

    Assuming there is no starter/admin charge, and no final charge, then the APR will be 25.9%.

    Have you considered getting a loan, and paying it in full?
  • whew! i knew it was a lot but sheesh that is high! my credit history would probably prevent me from getting a loan but now i've seen that as an apr i will def be talking to my dad to see if he will pay upfront and i'll pay him back monthly at 4% interest.
    Thank you very much for your help Bob. x
