Can someone math this better than me?
I will have to pay off my student loan, I earn enough and there isn't much left to regardless at some point I will pay it all it won't be written off.
My balance is £4,609.02
I currently pay £124 PAYE + £60DD
Interest on my student loan has now increased to 3.25%.
All of my savings are in easy access account (hoping to buy a bigger house at some point so haven't fixed it). The highest rate my savings is earning is 2.25-3%.
Should I be using my savings to pay off my loan now?

Interest on Plan 1 loans is now 4% and will continue to rise at 1% above base rate (so it will be 4.5% soon).
