USPS Plans Five Stamp Price Hikes Through 2027

The Postal Service aims to raise stamp prices twice a year starting July 2025 to ensure financial sustainability.

The U.S. Postal Service announced it will increase stamp prices five times from July 2025 through the end of 2027.
First-Class postage, currently at 73 cents, will see its next price hike in July 2025, followed by adjustments every January and July until 2027.
The decision to pause price hikes in January 2025 comes as part of a strategy to manage costs and improve service reliability under the 'Delivering for America' plan.
The USPS aims to achieve financial self-sufficiency while maintaining some of the lowest domestic mailing rates globally.
The Postal Regulatory Commission must approve all proposed price changes before they take effect.
