USPS Implements Record-High Stamp Price Increase for Second Time in 2024

The cost of a Forever stamp rises to 73 cents as part of USPS's ongoing financial recovery plan.

The price of a first-class Forever stamp will increase by 5 cents, reaching 73 cents on Sunday.
This is the second price hike in 2024, matching the largest single increase on record.
The USPS attributes the hike to financial challenges and aims to stabilize under the Delivering for America plan.
Other postage rates, including international letters and postcards, will also see significant increases.
The USPS reported a $6.5 billion net loss for fiscal year 2023, citing inflation and declining mail volumes.
