Tax on Savings interest

HopefullyThisWorks

My partner and I (not married) are both retired and not receiving any pension/income, what is the max interest we can earn on any potential savings?

Am I right in thinking the following:

£12,570.00 Personal allowance 

£5,000.00 starting rate for savings

So £17,570.00 each?

Thanks

If you have no other taxable income whatsoever then it is £18,570 each.

£12,570 covered by the Personal Allowance and £6,000 which is taxed at 0%.

£5,000 courtesy of the savings starter rate band and £1,000 from the savings nil rate band (aka Personal Savings Allowance).
