Royal Mail price changes 2021/22

Price changes 2021/22

Royal Mail have issued confirmation of their approved price changes for 2020. The Royal Mail changes will be effective from Friday 1st January, 2021.

The price of a First Class stamp will rise by 9p to 85p and the price of a Second Class stamp will increase by 1p to 66p.

Postage for a large First Class letter will increase by 14p to £1.29. While a large Second Class letter will go up by 8p to 96p.

Royal Mail said it understood how hard it was for many companies in the current economic environment, and so have considered price changes very carefully and have sought to minimise any impact on customers.

Royal Mail stated that "increases were needed to ensure the sustainability of the service and that UK stamps still represent good value compared to the rest of Europe".

How to keep postage costs down

The good news is that franking system customers will still experience big savings over stamp users.

Frama customers in particular can still expect to make great savings when using a Mailmark enabled Matrix franking system, including 13p per item on first class stamps versus Mailmark franking and 19p on second class items.

As a Frama customer, you will have already received a letter from Royal Mail regarding the 2021 tariff change.
