How many stamps do i need to mail a letter

The number of stamps you need to mail a letter depends on the weight and size of the letter, as well as the destination. Here are the current rates for mailing a letter in the United States:

• First-Class Mail Letter (1 oz or less):
  • Domestic: $0.55
  • International: $1.20
• First-Class Mail Letter (over 1 oz):
  • Domestic: $0.70 (for each additional ounce)
  • International: $1.20 (for each additional ounce)

To determine how many stamps you need, you'll need to calculate the weight of your letter. A standard letter weighs 1 ounce, so if your letter weighs more than 1 ounce, you'll need to add additional postage.

Here's a rough guide to help you estimate the number of stamps you'll need:

• 1 oz or less: 1 stamp
• 1-2 oz: 2 stamps
• 2-3 oz: 3 stamps
• 3-4 oz: 4 stamps
• 4 oz or more: 5 stamps or more

Keep in mind that these are rough estimates, and you should always check the weight of your letter before mailing it. You can do this by weighing the letter on a scale or by using a postal scale at a post office.

It's also important to note that if you're mailing a letter to a destination outside the United States, you'll need to use an international stamp, which is typically more expensive than a domestic stamp.
