Abstract
A postal charge processing system includes a data processing unit calculating the postal charge of a postal parcel from weight data representing the weight of the postal parcel and postal condition data about postal conditions such as the way of mailing and region of mailing destination and means for displaying the postal charge thus obtained on a charge display unit while displaying the weight data on a weight display unit. It also includes a memory for storing the maximum permissible weight data and an overweight display unit, and the data processing unit calculates the difference between the measured weight data and the maximum permissible weight data stored in the memory when it is detected that the former weight data is greater in value than the latter and supplies the weight difference data thus obtained to the overweight display unit for display thereon.
