SIPP Drawdown and savings interest

I am thinking of retiring next year on a DB pension which could be 45k. I will be 61. I will get a full state pension at 67.I feel it is likely that I could slip into the higher rate tax bracket with the state pension, so am thinking of commuting 4 or 5k to get an extra lump sum. I already get a lump sum of 3x pension and have an AVC which will be approx. 30k tax free.
My wife has a small SIPP with Vanguard of approx. 60k. She has a couple of small DB pensions which we intend to leave alone until NRD. She will be 60 next year and also retiring. As she will be a non-earner , we will transfer some marriage allowance and put the lump sums in her name in a monthly income account. We intend to draw down from her SIPP over the next 7years ( before her full state pension ) to use her Personal allowance. If interest from savings was 10k, how much can we take from the SIPP without paying any tax? I am confused by the various savings allowances!!
Thanks

If she had pension income of £7,310 then that would leave £4,000 of her (reduced) Personal Allowance to be used by the interest.
There are no further allowances available for interest so the next £5,000 would be taxed under the savings starter rate band (0%).
And the final £1,000 would be taxed under the savings nil rate band (also 0%).
Having interest of £10,000 (or more) means a Self Assessment return should be completed even if no tax is payable.0 -
Interest in a cash ISA will be tax free. Something to consider.0
