The USPS announced that the price of a stamp to mail a 1-ounce single-piece First-Class letter will not increase in early 2026. For more than two decades, the United States Postal Service has increased the price of stamps at least once a year — sometimes twice. However, 2026 is an exception to the rule. Postmaster General David Steiner says in a statement:

“We continually strive to balance our pricing approach both to meet the revenue needs of the Postal Service and to deliver affordable offerings that reflect market conditions,” Steiner said in a statement. “We have therefore decided at this time to forgo a price change for First-Class Mail postage and other Market Dominant services until mid-year 2026.”

The USPS’s most recent price increase went into effect July 13 — hiking the price of First-Class Mail Forever stamps up 5 cents from 73 cents to 78 cents.

The Postal Service said in a press release that it remains committed to continued cost-saving measures and keeping products and services affordable.
