How much to mail a 5x7 postcard
The cost to mail a 5x7 postcard depends on the destination and the type of postage you use. Here are the current rates from the United States Postal Service (USPS):
Domestic Mail
- First-Class Mail (1 oz): $0.55
- First-Class Mail (1 oz with additional ounce): $0.15 per additional ounce
For a 5x7 postcard, which weighs about 1 ounce, the cost would be:
- $0.55 for the first ounce
- No additional charge for the second ounce (since it's still under 1 oz)
Total cost: $0.55
International Mail

Note: These rates are subject to change, so it's always a good idea to check the USPS website for the most up-to-date information.
Additionally, you may want to consider purchasing a Forever Stamp, which is a type of postage that can be used for First-Class Mail and is valid for the current rate, even if the rate increases in the future.
