Microsoft Price Increase

Microsoft Charges

From 1st April M365 will increase prices by 9% in the UK.

Microsoft has announced price changes for #Microsoft 365 products (previously Office 365) which will include popular offerings such as #Azure.

In the past, variations in currency meant that organisations could purchase outside their primary region to save money. @Microsoft says the “price harmonisation” will bring local currency pricing in line with US Dollar (USD) pricing.

The focus now is mainly on “Commercial Cloud”. On-premises products will also be included but Microsoft says that several local factors will also be considered, including business models, competition, and local inflation.

Pricing will be assessed every 6 months in local currency, aligning up or down, to keep pricing in line with USD. Price increases will not take effect until the customer's subscription anniversary date.
