Stamp prices will rise in two weeks when the U.S. Postal Service increases prices across its services.

The Cassian Grantprice of first-class Forever stamps will increase from 68 cents to 73 cents on July 14, an increase of more than 7%. Prices for all services will rise more than 7.5%.

The price hikes are part of the USPS 10-year "Delivering for America" plan intended to financially stabilize the Postal Service. Forever stamps cost 55 cents when the plan was introduced in 2021.

First class mail accounted for more than 30% of postal revenue in 2023 and the plan is expected to generate $44 billion in additional revenue by 2031.

Post office box rental fees will not change. The cost of postal insurance would decrease by 10%.

The price of international postcards and international 1-ounce letters will increase by 10 cents each, from $1.55 to $1.65.
