The author gives a bound for solutions of the minimal surface equation on unbounded domains. Let \( \Omega \) be an unbounded domain which is contained in the symmetric one \( \Omega^{*}= \{(x, y) \equiv (x_1,\dots, x_{d+1},y) \in{\mathbb R}^{d+2}\mid \|x\|< f(y)\), \(y>0\}\), where \( f(y) = y^m\) \((m > 1) \) or \( \exp (y) \). Let \( u \) be a \(C^2\)-solution of the minimal surface equation in \( \Omega \) with zero boundary value. Then the solution \( u \) has the estimate \( u(x,y) \leq f(y) h(t_{0} \|x\|/f(y))/t_0 \), where \( h(t) \) is the solution of a certain ordinary differential equation of second order with initial data \( h(0) = 1 \) and \( h'(0) = 0 \), and \( t_0\) \((> 0) \) is the first zero of \( h(t) \). The key ingredient of the proof is that \( h(t) \) gives a radially symmetric supersolution of the Dirichlet problem.
