On a video on the Monzo YouTube yesterday, it’s currently in User Testing I think Video Here…
Would really like to use the app’s spending targets feature but, like many people I’m sure, it’s mostly only useful if I can use it for the month as defined between different paydays rather than the calendar month (and is downright confusing with its normal setup and odd paydays). I’m one of the lucky people who gets paid mid-month and was really surprised to see I couldn’t already change this. Any chance of being able to do so? Thanks!
Hello @anon28672730
I moved your post here as we are looking at sprucing up the payments tab! There’s a lot of ideas in this thread
I think there should be an option to change when the spending month starts because I would prefer it to starts when my rent is due.
It’s coming
I think it wouldn’t be useful if you could plan your spending around the dates you get paid rather than month ends!
Here’s the latest design
It looks like transfers will be identified too

Do we know when the Redesigned spending is being released? By the dribble link it sounds like it’s being released today
Haha the short answer is not today Zander’s mentioned that this is still a work in progress.
They’re teasing the changes in the monthly updates though so it’s probably (hopefully) not too far away..
I’m looking forward to this. Give me Apple Pay and the new Breakdown feature, and you can have my salary!
Agreed and also maybe the best way to decide on a default set of categories is to let everyone make their own and see what categories are most popular.
You may get the option to do this if you are part of the Remote user testing list which was put up a while ago as I just got a survey about Help Catagories and how they should be arranged …let me dig it out haha
Have we heard anything about how targets will work on this new design?
Also, are we getting the fix for incoming money not reflecting in category spending totals at the same time as this launches?
There is a thread for Emma golden tickets Emma VIP tickets
For me spending categories is still missing something. I want to see all of my spending as a pie chart which I can then change the time scope, to see how my spending has changed/improved over time. I.e move a slider and the eating out slice gets smaller, but the groceries slice gets bigger.
Something that would really help this is by having 'vice categories e.g. alcohol/cigarettes/coffee/takeaway. After all these are the things that people feel sensitive to.
Alex.
Can we have a Coin Jar catergory that’s accurately reflected in Spending Analytics? Or even better, just a solution to the following… Since I activated Coin Jar my overall spending target has been out of whack, which is frustrating.
This ocurred to me a while ago… But with the spending redesign, are Monzo effectively incorporating targets and scrapping ‘Targets’ as a standalone feature? If so, does this mean Android will effectively be receiving Targets soon?
Unsure if you’re replying in part to me, but I just hope the much vaunted ‘Spending Redesign’ solves the issues with targets and categorisation.
I’m using iOS app so don’t know much about the Android app.
Sorry, my post was coincidentally right after yours. I originally wrote it for the ‘Monthly Update’ thread, but decided it was more relevant here.
Your point about the ‘Coin Jar’ and targets does sound annoying, although not one I have to contend with, as I don’t have targets (Android).
I’m wondering whether Monzo will implement an overall ‘target’ for the user defined period, based upon the account balance at the start of the period… Then apply the same design to each sub-category of spending. The features are very similar and this would satisfy requests for custom target start/end dates.
Is there a timeline on this update? Watching the redesign of spending video was one of the reasons I signed up for Monzo, keen to be able to set targets etc ASAP. Hopefully the update is coming soon?
