What does it cost to send a letter in 2026?

When you send a letter the traditional way you pay for several things at once. First the postage, which depends on the letter's weight and how quickly it needs to arrive. Then envelopes and paper, which you need to buy. And finally your own time: printing, folding, stuffing, stamping and walking to a postbox. For one-off letters the total cost is often higher than expected.

Postage is set by weight and delivery speed. A standard letter up to a certain weight has a base price, while heavier or faster shipments cost more. Prices are adjusted regularly, so it's worth checking the current postage table before sending. For someone who only sends an occasional letter, keeping stamps at home is rarely worth it.

With a digital letter service like Posta Brev, you write the letter online and we handle the rest: printing, envelope, postage and posting. You don't need a printer, envelopes or stamps. A standard letter costs 49 SEK including everything and arrives within 3–4 business days. If you need it faster, express is 89 SEK and arrives within one business day. The price is fixed and transparent — no subscriptions or hidden fees.

Don't just count the postage. Add postage, envelope, paper and the time it takes. For many people it's both cheaper and easier to send digitally, especially if you only send occasionally. And with Posta Brev you can bring the letter to life with a voice or video greeting via QR code — something a regular letter can't do.
