A standard letter that weighs under one (1) ounce will require 55 cents of postage to mail in 2020. USPS charges extra postage for any weight above that amount. In 2020, USPS charges an extra 15 cents for each additional ounce. So a letter that weighs between one (1) and two (2) ounces will require 70 cents of postage.
How do I figure out how many stamps I need?
Divide the postage price by the price of a Forever stamp.
The number you get is how many stamps you'll need. If your postage cost comes to $2.32, for example, you would divide 2.32 by 0.50 to get 4.64. Round up for a total of 5 stamps.
How many stamps do I need by weight?
In short, you need two Domestic Forever Stamps. This, as you know, equals $1. However, this is just for the first ounce. You have to purchase more stamps for every ounce above that weight.
