How many Postage Stamps do I need?

Question

I'm sending a letter to Texas from New Jersey, which will contain about 5-6 pieces of computer type paper. Im sending this in a regular letter sized envelope. Can someone tell me how many stamps i would need, and is it $0.41?

thank you

But you need a scale to know what the filled envelope weighs.

Answer 2

If you need a scale, then you can head here:

http://www.postage-meter.org

On that site is Stamps.com as well, which is very helpful determining postage.

Answer 3

A one ounce letter is about 5 sheets of paper.  You can take your letter to the post office to be weighed to see if it needs more than one stamp...but the gas would cost more then just putting an extra stamp on it to be on the safe side.
