Next USPS Rate Change: January 2023
The next semi-annual USPS rate change will take effect January 22, 2023. Based on the August Consumer Price Index (CPI) released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, estimates of the USPS postage rate increase will range from 4.2% to 6.2%. The annualized rate authority rose to 7.68%. Because the USPS filing is only six months after the previous increase, the rate authority available for January, 2023 will be approximately 4.2%. The annual additional authorities for “density” and “retirement” were used for the July increase. There will be another 2% available for “non-compensatory” (underwater) categories.
