  The easiest way is to measure the height of the stamp in millimeters (perf tip to perf tip). A stamp 36mm high uses size 36 mount. The actual mount itself is 5mm taller than that. Hope this helps.

  The mount size needed will vary, because stamp sizes vary.
  
  Check out this link for a stamp mount scale. You cam print it out:

  Thanks for the info - the scale will be very useful. I had read that an extra mm or two should be added to the stamp dimensions to ensure proper fit - which is why I posted my question.

  If you put a stamp into a mount that is too small, or a "tight fit", you will damage the perfs.
