The price of a First-Class Mail Forever stamp will rise to 63 cents under the Postal Service\u2019s proposed changes.<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/div>\n

October 7, 2022<\/span><\/strong>
\nUSPS has notified the Postal Regulatory Commission of plans to adjust prices on market-dominant products and services. This includes raising certain First-Class Mail, Periodicals, Marketing Mail, Package Service and Special Services prices.<\/p>\n

The price of a Forever stamp will increase by 3 cents from 60 cents to 63 cents.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If favorably reviewed by the commission, the prices would take effect Jan. 22, 2023. The change reflects an increase of roughly 4.2 percent and is being proposed to offset rising inflation.<\/p>\n

The proposed changes include:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Letters (1 ounce):<\/strong> 60 cents (current) 63 cents (planned)<\/p>\n

\u2022 Letters (metered 1 ounce):<\/strong> 57 cents (current) 60 cents (planned)<\/p>\n

\u2022 Domestic postcards:<\/strong> 44 cents (current) 48 cents (planned)<\/p>\n

\u2022 International postcards:<\/strong> $1.40 (current) $1.45 (planned)<\/p>\n

\u2022 International letters (1 ounce):<\/strong> $1.40 (current) $1.45 (planned)<\/p>\n

The single-piece additional-ounce rate will remain unchanged at 24 cents.<\/p>\n

USPS is also seeking price adjustments on special and ancillary services, including Certified Mail, Post Office Box rental fees, money order fees and insurance.<\/p>\n

Even with the changes, the Postal Service\u2019s letter-mail postage rates will continue to be among the lowest in the world.<\/p>\n

The complete USPS price filing can be found on the commission\u2019s website<\/span><\/a>. The latest proposed changes are found in Docket No. R2023-1. Price tables are also available on the Postal Explorer website<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n
