How Much Does A Postage Stamp Cost For 2017. Effective January 22, 2017 the cost of a first class (1) ounce letter sent through the United States Post Office increased two cents from $0.47 to $0.49 for letters mailed within the United States. Reversing the $0.2 price drop from $0.49 to $0.47 effective April 10, 2016.
Mr. Carr is not entirely correct. The USPS issued a global forever stamp that pays the first class postage for an ordinary letter weighing not more than one ounce to anywhere in the world. This stamp was introduced in 2013 and sold for $1.10, the rate current at that time. Now this stamp will cost you $1.15, but if you buy them now, when the rate increases, they will still be valid for the full postage rate at the time.
