I think Monzo should have a total and date period in the upcoming payment section on joint accounts. We use this as a bills account for household, and have to calculate it every time, other banks have a section where you choose the end date and it calculates how much you have coming out upto that date. It would make budgeting so much easier. ---

If your bills are fixed, the sum should always be the same near every month. Using a Pot will show you total needing to be paid in so accommodate all payments. ---

We get paid every 4 weeks so the total out changes every month, also my partner and I don’t have the same pay day. ---

Do you not set your bills to come out a fixed date of the month ie 1st? ---

No. I’m not having a conversation about how I handle my household bills. I have expressed an idea for the improvement of the app. Lots of other apps have this feature, Lloyds is one of them, so it is a possibility. ---

Not all banks are the same. Using a Pot would give you the answer, or checking trends for last months total cost, and working it from that. ---

You will need to use a pot if you want to see them. ---

It was flagged by a person not the forum, so I don’t know what caused the objection. Otherwise I would have edited it. ---
