Standard Mail - Instructions

Step 7: Calculate Line 5 Net Postage Due by subtracting any Postage Affixed and Incentive/Discount (Lines 2 and 3) from

the Subtotal Postage (Line 1) and adding any Fee (Line 4). For permit imprint mailings, the Net Postage Due is the amount

that will be withdrawn from the permit imprint account listed in the Permit # box in the Mailing section. For postage affixed

mailings, the Net Postage due is the amount that must be tendered in addition to that already affixed to the mail, and it

may be tendered by any of the applicable methods including withdrawal from an advance deposit account that can be

listed by Permit # on Line 5.

Step 8: Read and sign the Certification section, including your telephone number. Attach all completed parts and submit

with the mailing.

Further Information About Discount Total Column

Mailings that qualify for Full Service Intelligent Mail Option will report the discount in the Discount Total column of each line of

the postage statement. The Full Service Intelligent Mail Option lines are for display and data gathering purposes only.

When there is a Full Service discount but no other incentive discount, the Full Service discount is reported directly in the

Discount Total column.

When there is both a Full Service discount and an incentive discount, the Discount Total must include both discounts so it

must be calculated in an offline calculation with the resulting value reported in the Discount Total column. The calculation

is performed as follows:

The Subtotal Postage (SP) amount is not affected and is calculated in the usual way. The Discount Total (DT) is calculated

by, first, determining the Full Service discount (FSD) by multiplying the number of Full Service pieces by the per-piece Full

Service discount. Then you must calculate the Incentive Discount (ID) by subtracting the Full Service discount (FSD) from

the Subtotal Postage (SP) and multiplying the result by the Incentive Discount percentage (ID%) expressed in decimal

form, such as .02. Then add the Full Service discount (FSD) and the Incentive Discount (ID) to get the Discount Total (DT).

This calculation can be expressed as an equation as follows:

DT = FSD + ID or DT = FSD + ((SP – FSD) x ID%)
