Mark a commitment paid

Marking paid tells Surrah a cycle is settled. It clears any overdue flag, reduces what you still owe, and moves the commitment to its next due date.

On iPhone — swipe a row in Upcoming from the trailing edge and tap Mark paid, or open the commitment and use the button there.

On Android — tap Mark paid on the row in Upcoming, or open the commitment and use the button there.

Then:

1. Check the amount. It's prefilled with what you expected to pay, but you can change it — enter what actually left your account. For loans, credit cards and instalment plans this matters: your remaining balance drops by the amount you type, not the amount you'd planned.
2. Check the date if you paid on a different day.
3. Decide about "Also record as expense." Leave it off if your bank texted you about this payment — Surrah already logged it and ticking the box would count it twice. Tick it for cash, or for an account Surrah can't see. There's a fuller explanation in the FAQ: "Why does marking a payment ask if I want to record it as an expense?"
4. Tap Mark paid.

Paying more than expected is fine. Pay 200 against an expected 85 and 200 comes off your balance. If a payment clears the balance entirely, the commitment completes and you'll see a completion sheet — it won't just quietly disappear.

Two things you can't mark paid:

• A paused commitment. You'll be told to resume it first. Pausing is meant to stop a commitment applying any pressure, so the payment surface is sealed while it's paused.
• A savings goal. Goals don't get paid, they get funded — use Add funds instead.
