I use a 15L kettle from Wilko for about 8-9 litres bottled if that’s any help to your calculations.
I have a 23l kettle I got from amazon for £60 and that does 16/17l batches comfortably.
But that does include a couple of liters sparging over the grain bag to rinse thr grains and bring the preboil volume back up to 20l.

I would agree with Nicks 100%. I do 10L batches in a 15L kettle and thats a struggle, especially for making anything over 5%. Its all possible but may require much sparring and adding to the boil half way through. I did make a 9% brew!!! but I dont think I would do it again. Hope that helps, if not, keep asking questions.
That sounds fine to me m8 , thx for the info
I would get a boiler that you can use for a sparge HLT down the line should (when) you go all grain and fancy sman AIO.
Personally I used a digi boil that now doubles up for sparging on brew day with temperature set.
