    Are you a high rate taxpayer?
    How old are you?
  • I'm 47, not a high rate tax payer, although within a few quid of the threshold..


    I'm thinking of just paying it off as my calcs say i need to get a savings rate over 1.8% to have the same left at may 2018.

    I've got 30k+ in savings and no other debt.

    Pension is very low and needs serious attention so maybe smarter to dump the 25k in that? Plan to move in a few years though so the 25k would be handy then..
