How much does a 1 oz letter cost to mail

The cost of mailing a 1 oz letter in the United States depends on the type of mail service you use and the destination. Here are the current rates for First-Class Mail letters:

• Domestic (within the United States):
  • 1 oz letter: $0.55 (as of January 2022)
  • Additional ounces: $0.15 per ounce
• International (to countries outside the United States):
  • 1 oz letter: $1.20 (as of January 2022)
  • Additional ounces: $0.20 per ounce

Note that these rates apply to standard First-Class Mail letters, which are typically sent through the US Postal Service's (USPS) automated processing system. If you want to send a letter with extra services, such as tracking or insurance, the cost will be higher.

Here are some examples of how the cost of mailing a 1 oz letter might add up:

• Domestic:
  • 1 oz letter to a nearby city: $0.55
  • 2 oz letter to a nearby city: $0.70 (0.55 + 0.15)
  • 1 oz letter to a distant city: $0.55 (same as above)
• International:
  • 1 oz letter to Canada: $1.20
  • 2 oz letter to Canada: $1.40 (1.20 + 0.20)
  • 1 oz letter to Europe: $1.20

Keep in mind that these rates are subject to change, so it's always a good idea to check the USPS website or consult with a postal worker for the most up-to-date information.
