The price of stamps is going up again. Starting on Sunday, July 14, one Forever stamp will cost 73 cents — up five cents from its current price. This is the second time this year the United States Postal Service has raised the cost. In January, the price of a Forever stamp went from 66 to 68 cents.
The price of sending a postcard is also going up. It’ll increase domestically by 3 cents to 56 cents and internationally by a dime, to $1.65.

These changes are part of the USPS’ Delivering for America 10-year plan, launched in 2021 when Forever stamps were 55 cents, that aims to stabilize the Postal Service financially, expecting to generate $44 billion in extra revenue by 2031.
Other changes include a rise in the additional-ounce price for letters and a 10 cent increase for international 1-ounce letters. Both reflect broader efforts to increase postal revenue, which relies significantly on first-class mail — accounting for over 30% of total postal revenue in 2023.
