USPS increasing stamp prices for second time in 2024, by record-equaling amount From Sunday, a first-class mail Forever Stamp will cost 73 cents each, a 5 cent jump from its current price of 68 cents

The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) will raise the price of its postage stamps again on Sunday, the second price hike in 2024, with the increase tying the record for the biggest hike ever.

From Sunday, a first-class mail Forever Stamp will cost 73 cents each — a 5 cent, or 7%, rise from its current price of 68 cents. The only other 5 cent increase occurred in January 2019, when first-class stamps increased from 50 to 55 cents.

In January 2023, the price of stamps was 63 cents each. That increased to 66 cents in July of the same year and then to 68 cents in January 2024.
