SingPost to raise standard domestic postage rates by 10 cents from Jan. 1, 2026

Singapore Post (SingPost) will increase the rate for all regular domestic mail by 10 cents from Jan. 1, 2026.

Increased domestic postage rate

SingPost will raise the rate from 52 cents to 62 cents and 80 cents to 90 cents for the Standard Regular Mail and Standard Large Mail respectively.

Rates of domestic bulk mail used by businesses will also increase.

This is part of its ongoing adjustments to ensure the sustainability of Singapore’s postal services amid declining letter volumes and rising operational costs.

Rising costs and lesser mail as reason for price revision

In its press release, SingPost said the revision reflects the significant “decline in mail volume” in recent years, citing a fall of more than 40 per cent, along with “escalating operational costs”.

The CEO of SingPost, Mark Chong, called the increased rate a “necessary step”.

SingPost assured, however, that it remains committed to providing customers with reliable and high-quality postal services even as more consumers and businesses shift towards digital communications.

Last increase took effect in 2023

The last adjustment to domestic postage rates took effect in 2023, when the standard letter rate increased by between two and 10 cents in tandem with the increase in goods and services tax (GST).

Customers advised to check revised rates

SingPost added that customers may refer to its website for the full schedule of postage rates taking effect next year at https://www.singpost.com/ratechange2026.
