Frequently asked questions
What is Postal code by city?
Type a city and get its postal code or code range, across 26 countries — Paris 75001–75020, Berlin 10115–14199, São Paulo 01000-000 – 05999-999. A curated list of major cities, not every municipality: when a town is missing it is our list that is short, and the tool says which.
What does it take into account?
It factors in when a town is missing it is our list that is short, and the tool says which. Change any of them and the output follows immediately.
When would I actually use this?
The questions no reference answers: what a meeting is costing while it runs, how many hours a commute has taken out of a year, how much detergent a load actually needs, and a few that exist for the pleasure of knowing — how many popcorn kernels would fill a room, what a hamster generates.
What is the most common mistake?
Quoting the playful ones as if they were measurements. A room filled with popcorn and a salary counted in bathroom breaks are arithmetic done honestly on premises chosen for fun; the number that comes out is exactly as solid as the assumption you fed it, which is the joke.
How is Postal code by city different from Postal code lookup?
They sit next to each other but answer different questions: Postal code lookup is the one to open when you need it to check a postal code against the real format of 26 countries and read what it means. For France the first two digits give the department — all 101 — and for Spain the province, all 52; elsewhere you get the structure, the validity check and the major cities we hold. Not a postal database, and it says so. Pick whichever matches what you're starting from — both are free.
Is there a tool for the next step?
Clothing size converter is the closest one after this: Tops, bottoms and shirt collars converted separately between FR, IT, DE, UK and US — each with the body measurement EN 13402 makes its primary dimension.
What else is worth having open alongside it?
Commute Life Wasted Calculator and Dew Point Calculator — they come up in the same task often enough to be worth a second tab.
Where do the figures come from?
The household ones follow the figure printed on the packet or the manufacturer's chart, which is why a detergent dose or a nappy size may not match another brand's. The rest state their assumptions on the page, because assumptions are the whole content of the answer.
