Microsoft will be making changes to their pricing model, effective 1 July 2026, which will impact all licenses. This includes core Microsoft 365 licenses, such as Business Basic, Business Standard, and Business Premium.
Please be advised that from 1 July, Microsoft will increase their prices impacting new subscriptions and subscription renewals from and after this date. This includes discounted (e.g. nonprofit) as well as commercial licenses. Pricing will continue to be fixed and protected throughout annual subscription terms.
Currently Microsoft’s pricing changes are only available in USD ($), and these are an increase of circa 12–17%. Microsoft practices regional pricing, and the changes in GBP (£) are not yet available. We will update this page once this has been made available by Microsoft.
The top tier provider’s explanation for these price changes lies in the addition of new features into core plans. Microsoft says their suites of services will be materially more valuable and customers are being provided with enhanced capabilities. These include:
- Integrating Copilot Chat directly into Word, Outlook, Teams etc; instead of it being a paid add-on
- Including security measures such as URL checks as standard; which are currently premium features
- Adding a further 50GB email storage per license; which is currently a paid addition
Microsoft continues to review their pricing globally on a twice yearly basis, which could mean the next potential change is in January 2027. Using annual subscriptions wherever possible will help maintain consistent pricing and predictability for at least one year.
Edit: Please find new pricing and licensing information here. Current pricing in GBP (£) is also available on our Microsoft 365 listings page.
