Quick Answer. According to the U.S. Postal Service, the price of a first-class postage stamp in the United States is 49 cents as of June 2014. This rate applies to standard-sized mail weighing 1 ounce or less. Letters weighing more than 1 ounce cost an additional 21 cents to mail.
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.
