# init(amountType:amount:)

Initializes a payment amount object with the specified amounts.

## Declaration

```swift
init(amountType: INAmountType, amount: INCurrencyAmount)
```

## Parameters

- `amountType`: A constant indicating an account-specific amount. Use this parameter to specify whether the payment amount represents the minimum amount due, the current account balance, or the amount due. If the amount does not correspond to any of those values, specify doc://com.apple.sirikit/documentation/Intents/INAmountType/unknown.
- `amount`: The numerical amount to apply to the payment. Use this parameter to specify the precise amount being applied to the bill.

## Return Value

Return Value An initialized payment amount object, or nil if the object could not be created.

## Discussion

Discussion When creating an INPaymentAmount object, specify as much information as you have available. Specifically, include a value for the amount parameter indicating the amount of money to debit from the user’s account. If that value also represents a specific amount type, such as the balance due on the account, specify an appropriate constant in the amountType property.
