To Pay mortgage off or keep savings?

Hi All,
I'm looking for some advice in terms of whether it's financially worth it to pay our mortagage off now or to save the money and continue the payments.
To pay our mortgage off now would cost £119,00 with all early repayment charges and claw back of cashback.
We are currently overpaying and paying £1550 per month. There are 62 months left to pay tied into the fixed rate and then approx 32,000 to pay to clear the mortgage completely at the end of the fixed rate.
We would be left with somewhere in the region of 45,000 after we've paid the mortgage off if we do that now and then save the 1550 per month would we be better off?
I have no idea where to start working this out, can anyone point me in the right direction.

Depends on the interest rate you are paying and how much the early repayment charges would be compared to interest earned on savings.0

No where near enough information to even do the basic calculations.
All the details are needed mortgage, ERC fees, overpayment limits tems
Saving interest rates etc.
Earnings and tax status
Is any of the money in ISA's.
