Manually pick upcoming payday

[Chris_Bigg]

So like many I get paid on the last Friday of every month. Which is today

However, this coming month will unfortunately be a 5 weeker (29th March)

There should be a way to pick a manual payday within the spending summary. I understand having an automated process is the way forward but this month is a bit of an exception.

If there is a way of doing this please inform me.

I’m still waiting for weekly payday to be added to get a more accurate summary because it always seem to show I’ll be out of money even though I get paid weekly, it because I have weekly So setup as well

[gmclean]

Seconded. I’m a contractor, so salary is weekly (dividend is whenever…)

Summary - Feedback thread

Once the pay comes in you can select that transaction as the start of the period. By default the end of the period will be the day before that date in the next month so in some scenarios (like this month for me) you will temporarily go into a new period before you actually get paid and set the next period start date.

As detailed above in summary you can select the calendar icon (top right) and change the start date of the current period without affecting previous periods.

This functionality was coming “soon” last November.

It’s gone quiet ever since - it was part of their plan to update budgeting at the time but it’s been left since with no update.

For those paid weekly an option could be to put it in a pot until the end of the month, and pay yourself.

This is a niggle of mine- can’t see how it can be that difficult to change something to the last friday of a month

[Reena]

I’ve just set this up for myself, and there is no option for if the Payday falls on a weekend, the Friday before the Payday… would be a good option for me.

For example, if the Payday lands on either the Saturday or Sunday, I would get paid on the Friday before.

Ignore this, I misread ‘The working day before’ D’oh.

A “last working day of the week/month” option would be the ideal solution…

Welcome

A very popular request this one, this topic is over three years old with no votes, you could select one of the below.

Good luck

Custom payment periods

Currently changing the period of the ‘left to spend’ feature sets a fixed date each month. I would find it handy if instead you could pick a “start period date/payday & end period date/day before next payday”. For example; my usual pay is 28th. But this month I’m getting paid on the 25th. While my pay after that is 28th again. But if I change the date for ‘left to spend’, it’ll set up to the 25th next month which isn’t reflective of this months pay period and doesn’t include later bills. What…

Summary - Feedback thread

Have to say I love Summary, but I really can’t understand why it’s been forced upon everyone while it still isn’t ready. Wasn’t the point of Labs to refine and improve an idea before general release, but as far as I can see very little has changed yet. Custom pay periods and direct debits in Committed Spending are basic functionality for Summary to even work properly, yet it’s been released without them. Meanwhile the overall spending target has essentially been removed for the time being. Havi…

Four weekly scheduled payments

I think these were promised as part of The Big List, but I can still only set up recurring payments for day, week, month and year. Unless I’m missing something, this fell off the Big List rather than being ticked off it! Are there current plans to bring them in? It must exist in the backend, because people can CASS in standing orders with 4 weekly frequencies without it breaking…

Kills me that this still isn’t implemented. This is my only pet peeve with Monzo and it’s a big one.
