📉 Daily spend until payday

[steser (Stephen Sermon)]

Hi, not sure if this has been suggested elsewhere but I think it would be a good idea for the money you’ve got left to be broken down into a daily amount you could potentially spend, updating as you go.

For example, I have X left until the 15th Feb, my next payday. It’s great I see it on the wheel but part of me knows the green wheel makes me feel to comfortable and I might be wreckless through this, although I’m aware.

If X was divided by the amount of days remaining, and I could see that average per day, I think it would act as a regular reminder to calm it. With that data it could flag up if you’re regularly going over your average and give you a nudge.

What do others think?

Thanks

Think i saw this suggested elsewhere when i’ve been browsing but it was in response to another old thread.

No idea if there is anything else / it has legs but i’d find this useful for sure.

Dozens does this and it is really useful. Personally I can’t be bothered working out how much I can safely spend daily with the amount of money I have left.

Having this calculated for me and displayed in the app would really help.

There’s an existing thread for this with 20 votes:

Show daily budget in Summary / average amount left per day

Hi. I’d like to be able to see how much I have left to spend on a day basis. Similar to what the app ‘Pennies’ does. So if I have £400 pounds left in my account and 4 days left in the month it will show I have £100 to spend today, if I don’t spend any money today, then the graphic on the next day will show that I have £133 to spend each day for the remaking 3 days… and so on. Basically it takes however much you have left and divides it by the number of days.

I also suggested it in the original New Navigation thread here but I don’t recall any response on the idea from Monzo:

@swok1080

Along with the left to spend bar returning I’d like to see some common calculated figures either alongside left to spend or included in the whitespace around the summary dial such as left to spend per day, balance remaining less committed, previous figure by day, average spending per day. Probably this would be best as a single field that would rotate when clicked.
