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.
