It depends on the weight and size. It's 2p on a normal 1st class letter, 3p on a large letter up to 100g, 6p on a packet up to 100g.
Special Delivery is 5p cheaper.
You have to send a lot of mail to make it worthwhile though as businesses usually rent their franking machines.

Hi, I am currently trying to choose an appropriate franking machine for our business. you save 2p per 1st and 2nd class letter and the heavier the parcel is the more discount you get. Think Royal Mail sets the discounts. However there are loads of hidden cost for franking. I got a quote from Pitney Bowes, tha Machine is £19.95 a month to rent and they charge you £4.84 everytime you top up!! Other companies tend to make you top up by dialling a premium rate number at £1.50/minute. Neopost and Pitney Bowes are the 2 big cmpanies offering a 30 day free trial, but I came to the conclusion that for smaller companies like mne. Its better to use stamps!!

If you take a weight of up to 100g, then the savings are as below..
Letter - 3p for 1st Class, 2p for 2nd Class
Large Letter - 3p for 1st Class, 4p for 2nd Class
Packet - 6p for 1st Class, 5p for 2nd Class

it's 30 p instead of 31 for 1st class, 2nd class saves 1p also. Not a great deal
