Hi.

I love the pots but I feel the % complete for the goal amount could be better.

If I want to save £1200 for Christmas and I start in January, each month £100 going into that pot is easy to understand and manage. I know where I by a glance. And at the end of June, I’ve done 6 months, paid in £600 and I’m 50%. The numbers are easier to work out.

But I would like if there was a comparison tracker.

So if that pot is also my coin jar, when in June I have £666.66 it would have two bars along the bottom, one that says I should be 50% along by now and one that says I have 56% of my target.

OK, so you want a ‘behind/ahead’ of target displayed?

Yeah that makes sense, maybe not as two bars but will leave that for UI boffins to figure out.

How about a tick on the progress bar (like the left to spend bar already in the app).

Sure. Like I say, will let the UI experts design it but definitely a feature I’d like to see added.

Yup!

Like you say, I’m sure they could come up with a better way for it to look but something to show how I’m doing would be good.

This sounds similar to the idea suggested here:

> [@Pot Goals: Set a target date](https://community.monzo.com/t/pot-goals-set-a-target-date/55443):

> Hi Community I’d like to highlight an idea I have only seen mentioned briefly on another thread but seems lost in amongst the other comments. It would be nice if we could set a target date on savings pots. For example, when you are saving up for spending money on a holiday. You would then set the day of the holiday as the target date and it can track the number of days till you go on holiday and show if you will reach your savings target or not You could then show this progress to the target …
