ABSTRACT:
A postage value computing system includes both apparatus and a method for determining the postage of an article to be mailed for various domestic and international classes of postal service. Postal information such as carrier type, class and destination data are introduced into the system and used to access a memory which stores common structured rate data. Major rate structures are defined by weight headers which specify the upper and lower limits of weight ranges and the weight increments within those ranges. To minimize memory requirements, foreign countries are grouped as a function of such common structured rate data including permissible weight limits. Memory space is conserved through the utilization of a common postage computation routine including various equation subroutines for generating requisite postage values in accordance with the retrieved postage rate data.
