Axis of Right took the time to do the calculation:

Total postage cost: 105,480,101 x 0.382 = $40,293,398.50

Total paper/envelope/ink cost: $1,054,801.01

Total labor cost: A worker at maximum efficiency (1 envelope fold and stuff every five seconds) can fold 12 envelopes per minute, and 720 per hour. At that rate, to fold and stuff 105,480,101 envelopes, it would take 146,500 hours. At $7.25/hour, the total labor cost would be $1,062,125.

The total cost for this mailing, assuming lowest rates and maximum efficiency, is $42,410,324.51.
