I’d really like to be able to mark my incoming payments as recurring aswell as outgoing. My girlfriend has a standing order for bills that comes in every month, If I can mark that as recurring then my Summary would be right as soon as the month changes instead of having to wait a couple of days to get that money in before its showing correctly.

Feel free to just DM me screenshots, we can take a look together there!
Interesting! We discussed this but were concerned about incorrectly predicting incoming payments, and the result being people overspending. One thing that could work, is if both people are using Monzo, we will know that the standing order exists, and if it changes. Something to think about a bit more!
That’d be good enough for me! She is using monzo and has it all set up on that, so If it could work out that she has that and then predict it in mine that’d be perfect.
I am on the latest Beta and do not see this option? Is it a server side update?
It didn’t seem to be working before, but it does now 
? I’ve just tried a few transactions and my overall budget increases when I exclude them. Great.
I just need the ability to add in my own ‘committed spend’ and set my own custom date (I had to send myself £200 on the 1st to reset it back to a calendar month) and this will be perfect for how I budget!
Thanks! It is indeed fine now I’ve been paid.
I guess further highlights the need for flexibility with pay dates as very few people are paid on the same calendar date every month.
Am I correct in thinking for this part of the committed spend, it’s to show that my Florida pot started with a balance of £50 @anon41842569? And that I’ve added a total of £335 this month? I withdrew the money from the Florida pot and added it to Crete, but still seems a little confusing being in green.
I think the green £50 means you’ve withdrawn £50 from that pot in this month. The black numbers are the amount you’ve put in the pots this month. They’re not a total of what’s in the pots for successive months.
I’ve actually withdrawn all £185 that was in the Florida pot and transferred it over to the Crete pot. I’ve added £335 in total to my pots this month (which is clear to see) so I can only think the £50 is from previous months or my ‘pot starting balance’. Again I find it a little confusing!
Are those custom images you have on your pots there?
No, the pot figures are the net result of all the transactions in the period being displayed. In your example it’s telling you that the Florida Pots has £50 less in it now than it did when the period started. It’s green because it’s showing a £50 credit to your main balance while the black pot figures show you money taken out of your main balance. In total, the Pots figures add up to the £335 (remembering to subtract the Florida £50 rather than adding it) showing where your money has gone this month…

Thanks for clarifying! I still think it’s a little confusing.
They are the default ones. Although I’m running out of ones to use for holiday based pots (as you can see)…
Those are in the stock pot images
We know that the pots section is still a little bit confusing, but we’re working on some improvements 
I’ll share a screenshot of one of the latest explorations:
Would something like this make it clearer?

I agree, if committed spends moved over into the spending categories once they had completed it would solve this issue.

When I get paid (as opposed to when i get large sums from others), my notification says “Payday!”. If Monzo can work this out, could it not automatically restart my month?

This would make things a lot easier for people I feel.
Would this be possible @anon41842569?
I’ve been a big fan of summary so far and this is my second month of having my salary paid in, but today has exposed its massive user experience issues – like many, I’m pain on the last working day of the month so 31st last month, today this month, 31st last month.
If I reset my spending today (and echoing @WillP79 above, given that I got the awesome Payday notification, why hasn’t Spending auto reset?) then it’s expecting that next month finishes on the 28th (rather than 31st) so my entire month of “money left” calculations is going to be out.
Given that over 60% of people in Design Poll: How often are you paid and pay bills? said that they’d paid on a fixed date or nearest weekday it seems really unfortunate that a MVP would be graduated from labs which doesn’t cater for the single biggest user base.
There’s so much promise here, it’s been really useful in month 1 of #fullmonzo, but this is really jarring

So if I’m correct at the moment, the pots section calculates what you’ve put into pots over the duration of the summary period? This version calculates how much you’ve withdrawn and offsets it against how much you’ve added?
