Viewers across the nation will have to pay extra for their TV licence this year.
From April, the annual fee will rise from £154.50 to £157.50, bosses at the BBC have confirmed, an increase of £3.
The fee news comes just days after it was revealed 450 roles could be made redundant at the broadcasting giant.
Around £80m is set to be cut from the BBC News budget, with Victoria Derbyshire's morning TV show among the casualties.
TV viewers who don't pay their licence fee could avoid court after Prime Minster Boris Johnson talked about plans to 'decriminalise non-payment'.
The TV licence fee is set by the government, which in 2016 announced it would rise in line with inflation for five years from April 2017.
According to the broadcaster, the new cost is equal to £3.02 a household per week — or £13.13 a month.
Over-75s will not currently be affected by the price hike.
Changes to the current system, which sees elderly viewers in the age bracket get a licence for free, are not set to come in until June.
The cost of a black and white licence will also rise from £52 to £53.
In December, Mr Johnson said he was considering reviewing the licence fee, as one of the BBC's biggest critics, John Whittingdale, was rumoured for a Cabinet appointment.
The PM said he was "certainly considering" scrapping the BBC fee in the run-up to the General Election as he was caught up in a scandal over ducking an interview with Andrew Neil.
Questioning whether the BBC's current funding model "still makes sense," Johnson said at the time: "I think that the system of funding what is effectively a general tax, isn't it, everybody has a TV, it bears reflection — let me put it that way."
