The current price of a first-class Forever stamp is 60 cents, up 3.4 percent from the previous price of 58 cents. A first-class stamp covers the cost to mail a 1-ounce letter. An additional ounce now costs 24 cents, up from 20 cents.

In addition to raising the price of Forever stamps, the U.S. Postal Service implemented other postage increases, as well, effective July 10, 2022.

  • Metered letters rose to 57 cents from 53 cents
  • Domestic postcards rose to 44 cents from 40 cents
  • Outbound international letters rose to $1.40 from $1.30

How much do Forever stamps cost?

The Postal Service says that the overall rise in postal rates is 6.5 percent, compared to 8.6 percent for overall inflation for the 12 months that ended in May. A 1-ounce letter cost 6 cents in 1863, according to the USPS historian, and 8 cents 50 years ago.


Blame the internet

It's no secret that widespread use of email and the shift to online banking have taken a toll on the post office. People need fewer stamps for letters and bills these days, and businesses can reach customers more affordably and efficiently with email instead of junk mail.

The original U.S. Post Office Department, established in 1792 as part of the federal government, was reorganized in 1970 as the USPS, a separate agency, and generally receives no taxpayer money for operating expenses. According to a May 28, 2021 statement from USPS, the proposed postage price hikes are a first step in a plan to reverse a projected $160 billion in operating losses over the next decade.

A 2006 law capped postage increases at the Consumer Price Index, the government's main measure of inflation. The same law, however, allowed the Postal Regulatory Commission to review the effects of the postage price cap, and in 2017, the commission ruled that the price cap hurt USPS profitability. In November 2020, the commission issued new rules that gave the Postal Service more flexibility when it comes to rate increases.
