    BT £1000 @2.5% = £1022.50.
    You can BT £900(thats 90%) and the charge is normally added on to this so you will have £920.25 appearing on your statement.
    Try and pay the BT fee off in full the first month along with the minimum payment.
    Check that you are not charged interest on the fee if you don't pay it off in full
