I'm not sure what you mean by your question. But I'll take a stab anyway.
"Outta pocket" can mean "out of pocket," as in "out of pocket expenses." This means that if say you had an accident and your car insurance only covered a portion, the rest is considered "out of pocket" meaning it comes out of your money/wallet/etc.
Now, you probably meant it in a different way and I've just dated myself to be an old-timers :-)
No matter, hope I helped.

"out of pocket" = an expense you pay yourself
For example, if your car costs $1500 to fix, but your insurance pays $1000, your out of pocket cost is $500.
