You need to prove that you have an income of £18,600 if you want to sponsor your wife for a UK Settlement Visa.

If your child is yours, and thus probably a UK Citizen there is no further financial requirement, if the child is not yours the requirement increases to £22,400.

If you don't meet the financial requirement through earnings you can meet the requirement by using your income and savings in excess of £16,000.

if you wish to use savings to meet the requirement, and it is for your wife only, then the amount of savings required is 62,5000 GBP.

If your child is not British, then the amount of savings needed is 72,000 GBP.

If you are self-employed, then you cannot combine savings with income to meet the requirement.

If you are self-employed, then basically you must show that your income ( not salary) meets the 18,600 GBP a year threshold. In addition, you will need to show documentation, including your business accounts, SA300 or 302, etc.
