Price for first-class stamp rises to 49 cents. It's going to cost you a few pennies more to mail a letter. The cost of a first-class postage stamp is now 49 cents â 3 cents more than before. Regulators approved the price hike in December, and it went into effect Sunday.

Recommendation: Buy Forever Stamps! Welcome! Price of a Stamp is a simple reference site which keeps track of the current stamp price. Bookmark it if you find it handy â itâs always kept up with the most current info from the USPS. The price of a stamp went up by 1 cent, effective January 21st, 2018. (This was after the price of a stamp oddly, decreased by 2 cents, from 49 cents to 47 cents, in April of 2016. Then, went back up by 2 cents again in early 2017.) Of course, if you own âForeverâ stamps, the value of your stamp goes up or down automatically when the rates change, so thereâs not much to worry about. Now that the price has increased by two more cents, if you buy new Forever Stamps, theyâll cost 49 cents each.
