Quick plan
Enter the employer address and a total budget. Routes are selected for optimal commute time: all fully within a 20-minute drive, most within about 15 minutes, starting with the route closest to the site.
Area: within a 20-minute drive. This is Work Reach's standing rule, not an input.

Assumptions
- Within a 20-minute drive.
- Residential addresses only.
- Only routes fully inside the drive area (at least 99.5% of the route line) with most of the route (at least 60%) within a 15-minute drive.
- The route closest to the site comes first, so the nearest homes are always included. The rest are added by share within 15 minutes, then by distance.
- Printing: $0.20 per piece on the pieces plus a 3% print overage. Planning rate, not a vendor quote.
- Postage: $0.26 per piece, USPS EDDM Retail (verified).
- Work Reach fee: $500 per mailing. Illustrative: $500 is the decided minimum; higher tiers are not decided.
- Post office delivery: $50 per delivery, one delivery per started 5,000 pieces at each post office, per mailing. Provisional planning assumption, not a vendor rate.
- Card processing (2.9% + 30¢) is grossed up into the total. Sales tax is not included; the tax classification is unconfirmed.
- Route and address counts come from U.S. Postal Service data.
- Every mailbox on the selected routes.

Filters
Filters narrow the plan. They combine with the fully / mostly / partly selection, and the totals, mailing plan, ZIP and post office tables, map and CSV all use only the filtered routes.
Shaded area: within a 20-minute drive (assumes a vehicle; transit and cycling not modeled). Click a route on the map or in the table to add or remove it.

By ZIP code
The Postal Service accepts up to 5,000 pieces per ZIP code per day.
| No routes selected. |
By post office (drop-off)
Pieces go to the post office that serves each route. Delivery (provisional planning assumption, not a vendor rate), figured separately for each post office and each mailing: $50 per delivery, one delivery per started block of 5,000 pieces. Example: 11,000 pieces at one post office is 3 deliveries, so $150. Pieces are never added across post offices.

Before you order
- The area is within a 20-minute drive (assumes a vehicle; transit and cycling not modeled). The 20-minute figure is Work Reach's working assumption for how far people will commute, not a proven fact.
- Drive times come from OpenStreetMap routing (Valhalla) with no traffic. Rush-hour drives will reach less ground.
- Every mailbox on the selected routes.
- Route and address counts come from U.S. Postal Service data. Counts change as the Postal Service updates routes.
- ZIP codes are found with Census ZIP Code Tabulation Areas, which closely follow but do not exactly match USPS ZIP codes.
- Postage: $0.26 per piece (verified, U.S. Postal Service EDDM Retail prices, July 12, 2026). Printing: $0.20 per piece on the pieces plus a 3% print overage, a planning rate, not a vendor quote. Work Reach fee: $500 per mailing, illustrative ($500 is the decided minimum; higher tiers are not decided). Post office delivery: $50 per started 5,000 pieces at each post office, per mailing, a provisional planning assumption.
- Card processing (2.9% + 30¢) is grossed up: total = (subtotal + $0.30) ÷ 0.971. Sales tax is not included; the tax classification of this service is unconfirmed.
