Updated Postage Rates for 2021

Domestic Mailing Price Updates went into effect January 24, 2021:

  • The First Class Mail letter (1 oz.) rate for postage purchased at the Post Office will remain to $0.55 (no change from 2020). That means that Forever Stamps will remain at $0.55, and that the amount you need on an envelope in vintage postage for the forever stamp equivalent (if not using a forever stamp) will still be $0.55 .

  • Each additional ounce for a First Class Mail letter will cost $0.20, rather than $0.15, a five cent increase from 2020. That means instead of $0.70 for many wedding invitations that weigh 1.1 oz. - 2.0 oz., it will now be $0.75 to mail those invitations, and an additional $0.20 for each additional ounce beyond that.
