Click into the cost for the month you want to change and **Type in your New Cost**. 2. Bionic will then ask if you want to flight this placement, Click the **Yes, Flight this Placement** button. 3. You will now be able to enter **different rate amounts, or even zero out a month of this placement** all together. ![A screenshot of a media plan, highlighting the net media cost by month section.](https://help.bionic-ads.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Screenshots/Bionic%20for%20Agencies/Budget%20Placements%20By%20Month/enter-mo.png?width=670&height=246&name=enter-mo.png) ![A screenshot of the Flight Placement confirmation dialog.](https://help.bionic-ads.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Screenshots/Bionic%20for%20Agencies/Budget%20Placements%20By%20Month/enter-mo-1-rev.png?width=477&height=431&name=enter-mo-1-rev.png) ![A screenshot of the net media cost section.](https://help.bionic-ads.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Screenshots/Bionic%20for%20Agencies/Budget%20Placements%20By%20Month/enter-mo-2.png?width=670&height=332&name=enter-mo-2.png) If you are looking to flight a package by month, please refer to the this article: [Flight Packages](https://help.bionic-ads.com/knowledge/flight-placements-packages#Flightpack) -
