Time to ditch my fix?

Can anyone help me with some snazzy calculator to work out if I should ditch my fix?

Got 18m left on 5 yr fix at 3.59%.....with £2k of ERC.
Just seen a 5 yr fix looming that looks of interest, so it would allow me to overpay and knock years of mortgage term...

Trying to figure out how to do the math?!

Thank you.

    There's one on this website, under the "mortgages/homes" section at the top of the page.

    Add all the fees then make the payments the same and see when the break even point is.

    Give the fees, rates, follow on rates, size of the loan, term it will be easy to do.
