SingPost to raise domestic mail rates by 10 cents from Jan 2026

SINGAPORE: Singapore Post (SingPost) will increase its domestic postage rates by 10 cents from January 1 2026, raising its standard regular mail rate from 52 cents to 62 cents and its standard large mail rate from 80 cents to 90 cents.

SingPost said the move aims to support the company’s sustainability in the long term and meet Singapore’s postal needs amid a persistent structural decline in mail volume that ​​has fallen by over 40% since 2019, as well as escalating operational costs.

The company added that the shift to digital communications has left postal service providers balancing higher labour, energy, and infrastructure costs against the postage collected, a trend shared among postal operators overseas as they work towards long-term sustainability.

SingPost CEO Mark Chong said, “This increase is a necessary step to balance the structural cost of our domestic mail operations, while providing our customers with reliable services. It will enable us to continue fulfilling our national postal mandate while advancing SingPost’s transformation into a technology-driven logistics leader.”
