Quick Answer. The cost of a postage stamp today is 49 cents. This is a 3 cent rate increase from 2013. The rate was increased as of Jan. 26, 2014. The postage rate is determined based on mail class and package dimensions like weight and shape.
Standard mail, such as first-class letters and postcards, make up 76% of the Postal Service's sales -- all of which have prices capped by Congress. Postcard stamp prices will drop by a penny to 34 cents, and international stamps will cost $1.15, down from $1.20. There's hardly anyone alive who remembers the last time the price of a stamp fell. That was in July 1919, when first-class stamp prices dropped from 3 cents to 2 cents.
