Stamp Prices Increase One Cent This Month
The debut of the U.S. Postal Service's 46-cent Forever stamps brings rate changes on Jan. 27.
Stamp prices will increase one cent starting Jan. 27 to make way for the new 46-cent Forever stamp, according to an announcement from the U.S. Postal Service.
The price to mail a one-ounce letter will increase from 45 cents to 46 cents, but the cost for letters weighing more than one ounce will stay the same, at 20 cents for each additional ounce.
The announcement also states letters under one ounce mailed anywhere internationally will cost $1.10 and postcard stamps will go up one cent, from 32 cents to 33 cents.
