If your income is £12,570 or less (after deducting the lower of your interest or £1,000), you pay no tax.1

I think there is a slightly different way re interest of under 5000 if your income is low. Maybe someone can shed some light.0

I had assumed that your pensions and interest would be under £12,000, so did not bother with the complexity of the starting rate for savings, which is explained here:
