Currently doing the same with my partner. The 60000 used to be the case, but the webpages were updated recently with new requirements. It says you need a combined income of £18600 a year, which can be include a minimum of £16000 savings. (I think some old web pages are being served as the first time I clicked your link it showed me the old value and I had a little heart attack - but loaded correctly the second time when I showed my partner and I looked like a liar!)
