Does the transfer pay off?

How to read this: The transfer fee is added to your balance on day one — a 3% fee on $6,000 is $180 of new debt before you've saved a cent. The whole game is clearing the balance during the intro window, because anything left when it ends gets hit with the post-intro APR. If your payment can't finish in time, raise it until the result turns green, or reconsider the transfer.
