Use the USPS Postage Price Calculator to find the cost of mailing a package.
If you are planning to use the USPS Priority Mail option to mail a package and want to calculate the postage, it takes little time to do so using an online calculator provided by the USPS. To get started, you need to know the weight of your package and the ZIP code you plan to mail the package to. After you use the online calculator, you can pay for the postage online and print the shipping label, or you can take the package to a post office.
Instructions
1. Open a tab in your Internet browser and go to the USPS Postal Price Calculator page.
2. Click the arrow beside "Select a destination" and choose where you plan to send your package. Select "United States (Domestic Mail)" to mail your package within the country, or select a different country.
3. Enter the ZIP code you are going to mail the package from and then enter the ZIP code you are mailing the package to. If you are mailing a package out of the country, skip this step.
