How much postage to mail a postcard in the us

The cost of postage for a postcard in the US depends on the weight and size of the postcard, as well as the destination. As of 2022, the current postage rates for postcards in the US are:

• For a standard postcard (3.5 inches x 5 inches):
  • First-Class Mail: $0.34 (up to 1 oz)
  • First-Class Mail International: $1.20 (up to 1 oz)
• For a larger postcard (up to 6.125 inches x 11.5 inches):
  • First-Class Mail: $0.36 (up to 1 oz)
  • First-Class Mail International: $1.25 (up to 1 oz)

Note that these rates apply to postcards that weigh up to 1 ounce. If your postcard weighs more than 1 ounce, you'll need to pay additional postage.

You can also use a postage meter or a self-adhesive postage stamp to mail your postcard. In this case, you'll need to purchase a book of stamps or a roll of stamps that match the current postage rate.

It's always a good idea to check the current postage rates with the US Postal Service (USPS) or a local post office to confirm the rates and any additional fees that may apply.
