Using the Priority Mail Calculator<\/h3>\n

To use the calculator, simply:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Enter your package\u2019s weight<\/li>\n
  • Enter origin ZIP Code and destination ZIP Code\u00a0OR<\/strong>\u00a0select a Zone if you already know it<\/li>\n
  • Press Calculate Rate<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    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.<\/p>\n

    Try different Zones and package weights to see all of the available rates for Priority Mail.<\/p>\n
