Unlike many Spanish words that change their ending for masculine or feminine items, 'mensual' stays exactly the same. You can use it for 'el pago' (masculine) or 'la revista' (feminine).
Word Order
In English, 'monthly' usually comes before the noun. In Spanish, it almost always comes after, like 'pago mensual' (payment monthly).
Avoid adding -a
Mistake: “La cuota mensuala.”
Correction: La cuota mensual. Words ending in -l don't need an -a to become feminine.
