It will now cost more to mail a letter.

The price of Forever Stamps -which can be used in perpetuity regardless of future changes – went up today (July 14th). Stamps are now 73 cents, 5 cents higher than the previous price of 68 cents.

Stamps last increased in January when they rose from 66 cents to 68 cents. In 2023, the price of a Forever Stamp rose from 63 cents to 66 cents.

At the time of the announcement in April, USPS said the increase was needed to “achieve…financial stability.”

“As changes in the mailing and shipping marketplace continue, these price adjustments are needed to achieve the financial stability sought by the organization’s Delivering for America 10-year plan. USPS prices remain among the most affordable in the world,” USPS said in a statement.

Other price increases include:

• Letters (1 oz.) – 68 cents to 73 cents
• Letters (metered 1 oz.) – 64 cents to 69 cents
• Domestic postcards – 53 cents to 56 cents
• International postcards – $1.55 to $1.65
• The additional ounce price for a single-piece letter will go from 23 cents to 28 cents.
