Student loan overpayment [2008 start]

Hi,

I started university in 2008 and have a student loan outstanding of around £20k. I currently earn £42k including a bonus of £5k which I usually get in it's entirety. I can reasonably expect this to raise to £50k within 5 years.

I've watched the recent Martin Lewis show episode on student loans and I understand the principals of overpaying - if you're going to pay off the whole debt PLUS interest then it makes sense to overpay it so you pay back less in total.

Is there a calculator somewhere that I can use to work out how much I'm likely to repay? Most of what I see is for post 2012 starters. What interest rate and thresholds apply for the older loans like mine?

Following up - if I should repay early, is there a smart way to do it? I have access to around 10k of interest free credit on 12-24month cards. I could theoretically pay SLC up front and then repay those cards interest free - at the risk that losing my income wouldn't effect the amount I need to be repaying. I could extend the interest free duration via balance transfers, and have paid off far less far quicker!

Thoughts?
