New Rates Effective July 13, 2025

The USPS has announced new postage rates taking effect Sunday, July 13, 2025. Here’s a breakdown of the key changes and what they mean for your mailing operations.

Key Rate Changes

• Average postage increase: $0.05
• First-class letter increase: $0.05
• Flats: $0.13 increase for each additional ounce

Planning Ahead for 2025 and Beyond

USPS rate adjustments follow a predictable pattern. We recommend budgeting for:

• January increases (~3%): Tied to changes in the Consumer Price Index (CPI)
• July increases (~6%): Factor in additional considerations like mail density and USPS retirement costs

By planning for these increases in advance, you can avoid budget surprises and maintain uninterrupted mail delivery for your customers. For a deeper look at how USPS is reshaping delivery timelines, see our coverage of the new USPS 1-to-5 day service standards.
