    “out of pocket” is what you pay, but may not be the total cost of the item/service. “I only had to pay $50 out of pocket and my insurance covered the rest”

    It can also be used in business to mean unavailable. “I have to take my kid to the doctor and will be out of pocket for a couple of hours”
