# Creating a Stream

{% hint style="info" %}
Before creating a stream make sure you have funds added in the vault.\
If not done, check out the previous page for tutorial.
{% endhint %}

### Here's how you can create a Stream

* Add recipients's address, you can either add them from the [**Address Book**](https://archisman-das.gitbook.io/salaried3-docs/daos-and-organizations/managing-address-book) or enter it manually.
* Now enter the amount you want to stream per month.

{% hint style="info" %}
Currently we only calculate Stream by amount per month
{% endhint %}

* Mention the duration you want to stream : 1,2 or 3 months
* Select the token you want to stream&#x20;
* Click on **Create Stream**&#x20;
* The Stream will be initiated instantly and you can track the streams from the dashboard

### A Detailed walkthrough

#### Lets say you want to stream 1000 DAI from 2 months

* Add recipient's address
* Enter 1000 as amount to be streamed
* Select DAI as the token to be streamed
* Select 2 months as duration.
* Click on Create Stream

{% hint style="info" %}
**The stream will be disbursed in the following manner**&#x20;

Amount : 1000 DAI, Duration : 2 months = 172800 seconds

Stream rate : 1000/172800 = 0.00578 DAI/second&#x20;

i.e. 0.00587 DAI will be transferred to the recipients wallet every second
