# Initiating A Wireout Payout

When you're ready to perform a wire-out transaction you can check for an estimate of fees by passing in a dollar amount and calling`getWireoutNairaEstimate.`

{% hint style="info" %}
This is an estimate for reference purposes, the final transaction amount might vary slightly depending on when the payment is initiated and when it expires.
{% endhint %}

{% code title="getWireoutNairaEstimate.gql" %}

```bash
query {
  getWireoutNairaEstimate(dollarAmount: 400){
    estimate
    expiresAt
    rate
  }
}
```

{% endcode %}

Then you can perform a wire out transfer, You'll need the `id` returned when you [created a wire out account](/wireout-api/creating-a-us-bank-account.md) then specific the amount:

{% code title="createPayout.gql" %}

```bash
mutation {
  createPayout(wireoutAccount: "fsaffkls32s", amount: 400) {
    amount
    createdAt
    id
    status
    trackingRef
    wireoutAccount
  }
}
```

{% endcode %}

Save the `trackingRef` and `id`this will allow to periodically check the status of your transaction.
