Bill Pot - left to pay 💰

It’s still there for me on Android too.

I don’t know why I edited part of it out by the way. Force of habit :sweat_smile:

You are on the manage tab, the op is on the feed tab

Has it ever been on the feed tab? :thinking:

Or has it moved to the manage tab when the new tabs thing was released?

Nah, always on the manage tab

Well not always. There didn’t used to be a manage tab

It’s a bug which appeared a few versions ago.
Left-to-pay is shown on the ‘Manage’ tab, well, it is supposed to be:

I still have to scroll up-then-down to see the Left-to-pay entry in the feed, in my Joint Account Bills pot.

Thank you for confirming I’m not going mad!

At the end of every month I get paid, say around the 28th. I have most bills going out at the beginning of the month.
Is there a way to figure out how much money I should pay into the bills pot for the next month? For example, right now it’s the 30th and it’s telling me there is £0 left to pay. I have to wait until the 1st to find out how much money I should pay in for that month, but by then I’d have missed some payments already.
I’d love to see how much I have ‘Left to pay’ in the next cycle, as well as the current.
Anyone else?

Yes I agree - it would be great to have next month’s total bills visible too.

How much do your bills vary month to month? Surely you must know roughly?

Yeah, I know roughly but there’s enough variation (the odd month with the annual insurance premium or car tax of a few hundred pounds) that I go in at the end of each month to add up what’s coming up in the following month (or forget and have to top it up).

Another tip for you.

I have these also and I take the annual premium, divide it by 12 and schedule a deposit into a pot each month so that by the time it comes round to next year - I can pay it without it having a big impact on my salary for that month.

That way it’s a steady fixed amount each month and easy to forecast :slight_smile:

I often use the “left to pay” in my bills pot but it can be unclear what DD are actually still left.

Can the list not be split into “remains/paid” resetting on the payday date?

Is this a difference between iOS and Android because on the latter I have an ‘upcoming’ list in my bills pot? Or am I misunderstanding completely?

Certainly on iOS a DD goes to the bottom of the list when paid, so the ones remaining are those at the top of the list, in date order.

Android sees the same. Not sure what the poster is trying to achieve.

Apologies my post might not have been very clear and also I will admit I didn’t notice that the DD paid moved to the bottom, I probably should pay more attention before posting!./

Some kind of marking or split of the list to show they were paid in that pay cycle was what I was suggesting.

One of my Bills pot DD’s NEVER leaves the top slot in ‘Upcoming’. Regardless of when it is due or paid. Drives me :peanuts:

It would be super nice to have the bills pot know what bills are left to come out that month. I know you can look down and more or less see the line, but the Transfers tab is for that info: in the bills pot I just want to see the bills that will be paid before I replenish it.

Like many others, we have a monthly pot for regular payments, but I feel the content/display within the “left to pay” screen could be clearer.

It’s great that it says you have £xx.xx left to pay this month, and then lists all the DDs and Standing Orders, but that list seems to be a mixed date order. So I find myself scanning the list to figure out which of the entries is the one that is left at the end of the month.
Given the app is so good at categorising items with colour, could i make two suggestions.

  1. The order of the DD’s and SO’s should be in date order. The app needs to figure out the order for items that are on a fixed date verses “every 4 weeks” but that’s not too hard to do.
  2. Once in date order, you could colorise those that have been paid and those left to pay, so it’s immediately obvious what is still to come out of the pot.

Hopefully these can be seen as positive ideas, on what is already a great app.
