New stamp tariffs from 1 January 2022
bpost adjusts its stamp tariffs on 1 January 2022. Loose Non Prior stamps will rise to €1.19 from €1.10. Loose Prior stamps will rise to €1.89 from €1.60.
This tariff adjustment partly offsets the rising costs of delivering each letter due to the big reduction in mail volumes (31%* over the past five years) resulting from the increasing popularity of digital communication. This price adjustment means that every citizen can continue to rely on a high-quality universal postal service without the need for state subsidies.
