How much does it cost to mail a first class letter within the U.S?

Answer by  holdengal (693)

The rate right now is .44 cents. It's gone up multiple times in the past few years. The post office said it won't be going up for at least another 6 months. If you stock up on the "Forever" stamps (the one with the Liberty Bell on it), then it doesn't matter if postage goes up or not.

As of 2010 the rate for a first class letter is forty four cents. There are also Forever Stamps that are available which allow you to pay the current rate but are still usable if the cost increases any time in the future.
