USPS Stamp Price to Rise to 78 Cents in July

The U.S. Postal Service will raise the price of a First-Class Forever Stamp from 73 cents to 78 cents on July 13, 2025, following approval from the Postal Regulatory Commission. Additional rate increases include metered letters rising to 74 cents, domestic postcards to 61 cents, and international postage to $1.70. Shipping services such as Priority Mail and USPS Ground Advantage will also become more expensive, while Priority Mail Express rates will not change. These adjustments are part of the USPS's Delivering for America 10-year plan to address ongoing financial challenges. The agency now intends to implement similar price hikes twice a year through December 2027. Despite the increases, USPS asserts that its rates remain among the lowest worldwide.
