Microsoft is changing their pricing, effective 1 July 2026. This will impact core Microsoft 365 licenses, including Business Basic and Business Standard. There is an increase of 12–17% for the affected licenses.

Please be advised that these new prices will apply to all new subscriptions and renewals from 1 July 2026. This includes discounted (such as nonprofit) as well as commercial licenses. Additionally, Microsoft will be removing all volume-based discounts.

Pricing will continue to be fixed and protected for the duration of annual subscriptions. Monthly subscriptions are impacted differently and may be subject to different pricing adjustments.

License		Previous user/month		User/month from 1 July		Percentage increase
Business Basic		£4.60		£5.40		~+17%
Business Standard		£9.60		£10.80		~+12%
Business Premium		£19.60		£19.60		0%

Microsoft is adding new capabilities with these price rises. All business licenses will receive:

• Protection via Safe Links – although note this is not the full Defender product, but a useful security boost nonetheless
• 100GB mailbox storage – whereas previously this was 50GB, so double the storage capacity
• Improvements to Copilot Chat – the limited capability Copilot app that doesn’t require a Copilot license
