Postage price increasing

The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) will be increasing the cost of a First-Class mail Forever Stamp by 4 cents, to $.82 cents, on Sunday, July 12, 2026. Some other postage rates will also be increasing. This is a 4.8% average price increase on mailing services.

Key changes include:
Forever Stamps: Increasing from $0.78 to $0.82
Metered Letters (1 oz): Increasing from $0.74 to $0.78
Domestic Postcards: Increasing from $0.61 to $0.65
International Letters/Postcards: Increasing from $1.70 to $1.75

The USPS adjusts postage rates at least once a year, and sometimes more frequently. Rate changes are in response to factors such as fuel cost fluctuations, inflation, and operational enhancements, as well as a continuing decline in mail volume.
