Royal Mail UK Online Free Postage Calculator

Since Royal Mail's introduction of 'pricing in proportion' postage pricing scale, calculating the correct value of stamps you should put on a letter / package is more complicated as it is not just based on the letter's weight any more but now also depends on the dimensions of what you are posting.

Don't worry though, as the nice people at Postage Rates.org.uk have developed a really neat online postage calculator for calculating the domestic postal rates of parcels / packages / letters / 'larger letters' etc that sent within the UK... and the postage cost calculator is totally free to use!

Also, if you have a website by just including one line of code you can easily have the very same calculator shown on your website! Please add the code next to the version of the free online postage calculator you wish to select for your site.

To help cover the development, maintenance and hosting costs the postage calculators have ads on them and come in five different 'flavours' as per below, just copy the code for the format of the postal rate calculator you like best. (The actual ads shown below are examples only and the ones that are displayed may be different). If you like the calculator but don't want it to show any ads on your site then get in touch and we can discuss your requirements for a 'paid-for' postage rate calculator for your site.

Calculator updated with April 2008 prices.

NB - If you have Google Adsense ads already on the page where you want to insert the Postage Cost Calculator then you must NOT use this version of the calculator; please either remove all adsense ads from your page (not site!) before inserting this code OR use any one of the other versions of the postal cost calculator below. This is not a request, this is a condition of use, thank you.

So there you have it, a nice, free and easy to use solution to working out your 1st class and 2nd class postal costs of packages you are mailing. Also, whenever Royal Mail change their postage rates (first class or second class) then we will change the prices behind the scenes so the calculator shows the correct prices without you having to download any extra code or to change anything!

Nobody wants to put more postage on a package than they have to, and on the flip side we don't want the people we are posting packages to to have to make a trip to their post office to collect the package and pay an extra fine (which is what happens if you send a letter without enough postage on it)! This latter option is especially unpleasant if you are an avid Ebayer as this may result in you getting bad feedback on the Ebay auction website! So, bookmark our free online postage calculator or load it into your website using the code above!
