U.S. Postal Service Increases Postage Rates
September 2, 2021
On August 29, 2021, the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) raised prices on many of its postal products and
services, including its First-Class Forever stamps. The increase in rates was approved by the Postal
Regulatory Commission (PRC) on July 19, 2021, following a request submitted by the USPS in May
2021. This is the second rate change implemented by the USPS in 2021. The USPS increased rates on
many of its postal products and services on January 24, 2021, though the price for First-Class Forever
stamps had remained the same at 55 cents.
Table 1 provides a select list of postal rates that took effect on August 29, 2021. The full list of adjusted
prices is available on the USPS's Postal Explorer website as an Excel spreadsheet and as a PDF file.
