Isle of Man Post Office Announces Tariff Changes Effective January 2026

Isle of Man Post Office (IOMPO) will update postal tariffs in late January 2026, with the final date to be confirmed in the new year.  The changes to postal tariffs ensure services remain value for money, sustainable and aligned with international postal regulations. The changes reflect rising operational costs, changing customer needs, and new Universal Postal Union requirements.

Over the past year, IOMPO has introduced improvements such as Online Postage with free doorstep collection, while working hard to manage costs and reduce carbon emissions. Despite continuing declines in letter volumes and only modest parcel growth, tariff increases have been kept to a minimum. Most prices remain below pre-March 2025 levels, when significant reductions were introduced.

What’s changing?

• Standard local letter price rises from 90p to 93p (3.3% inflation). Local Tracked tariffs increase similarly.
• Standard UK letter price rises from £1.00 to £1.08 (8.3%).
• Tracked parcel prices available through IOMPO’s Online Postage service remain unchanged to support affordable, reliable delivery for homes and businesses.
• International mail: Prices and services updated to comply with new Royal Mail and UPU rules.

Stu Peters MHK, Chairman of Isle of Man Post Office, said: “These changes will help us keep services reliable, competitive, and aligned with international standards. We are committed to adapting to customer needs and exploring compliant innovative solutions that support sustainability and convenience for our Island community.”
