Priority Mail is the United States Postal Service’s 1-3 day shipping for sending packages and parcels across the country. Shipping rate (Shipping cost USPS) is determined by package weight, shipping distance (determines the shipping Zones), and the rate tier (Retail, Online Rate, and Service Rate). Beginning at $6.65 at Post Office™ locations and online.

Using the Priority Mail Calculator

To use the calculator, simply:

  • Enter your package’s weight
  • Enter origin ZIP Code and destination ZIP Code OR select a Zone if you already know it
  • Press Calculate Rate

When determining rates based on weight, if the package weighs under half a pound it will always round up to .5 pounds. After the first half-pound (8 ounces), Priority Mail rounds up any weight of a package to the nearest pound. So if your package is 2 lbs. and 8 oz. (2.5 pounds) it will round up to 3lbs.

Try different Zones and package weights to see all of the available rates for Priority Mail.
