1. The requirement is that the cash saving must be above (min salary threshold + £16000) for ILR so £18600 + £16000 = £34,600 minimum

2. Yes

Hi I wanted to ask I'm on spouse visa and I used 62500 cash savings for my first time visa in 2020 and for extension aswel now I'm about to apply for indefinite after five years. The question is that how much cash savings do I need to show them 62500 or 3400??
thank you

is correct, assuming no extra for children.

Extension and ILR do NOT have the same thresholds for cash savings. Follow the advice given above
