A small niggle of mine is that the total month spend in the ‘spending’ tab does not include money received from people. I am sure that there is a search function, but it would be useful to either show the total spend AND the overall money out (I.e including money received, but excluding your own top ups). Or have an option to select which total it shows.
The reason being is me and my partner both use the card, but when we need to split purchases our budgets are all messed up in the total.
I think that might be a bug. It should work exactly how you describe it: total spent should be the sum of all your debits (no top ups) minus credits. Let us check it again. Thanks a lot!
Nice! Well mine for sure doesn’t include any money I have received from people. Here is a screen of this month; I have received £50 from my partner so far this month which appears not to be included.
There’s an issue with the cache for the Spending tab not updating, if this was a recent payment, that might explain it…just force close the app & reopen it to refresh the feed.
It doesn’t reduce my total spent to show the £10 I’ve received. On a side note, I can’t categorise those incomes.
Also second side note, in Categories, it doesn’t show people I’ve paid, but it does in Merchant. I tagged a Monzo-to-Monzo £4 as ‘Eating Out’ but it only displays the payment under Merchant. It includes it in the total spent however.
Why monthly averages disappeared? So very inconvenient. And I liked how in each category all payments were sorted from largest to smallest, not day by day as they are sorted now. Sad face.
Would also be good if you could offset money received from a friend against a particular purchase, rather than just within the category. You can then see how much that event actually cost you.
Is this effectively how the bill splitting will work when that’s implemented?
Also noted you can’t add a note to the money received like you can to your spend. Something that would be covered off if they did what’s mentioned in your linked idea.
Would also be a worthwhile feature to add even before the full grouping function is complete.
That would make sense for the total monthly spend but not the individual category totals which I would expect to be the sum of all debits only, for now, since credits can’t be categorised.
Yes, Hugo’s post contradicts that.
Could you please clarify where you’re seeing the monthly total spent (I would have assumed Targets but that feature’s not available yet for Android)? I’ll check to see what happens when I receive a payment on iOS using Monzo.me, to see whether this is an Android specific issue.
Credits can be categorised, can’t they? Somebody send me money through Monzo and I am able to change the category, which is why I was expecting it to be taken away from the monthly total for that category.
The monthly total spent I’m talking about is under the spending tab.
