Microsoft 365 pricing is changing from 1 July 2026.
Microsoft 365 Pricing Is Changing
From 1 July 2026, Microsoft will introduce updated pricing across several Microsoft 365 plans. Existing customers will retain their current pricing until their renewal date, while all new purchases and renewals after that date will move to the updated pricing.
This is more than a pricing update. It's an opportunity to review your licensing strategy and ensure your organisation is only paying for what it actually needs.

Why This Matters
Review Unused Licences
Identify inactive users, duplicate assignments, and underused Microsoft 365 licences so you are not paying for services your team no longer needs.
Optimise Your Plan Mix
Make sure every employee is on the right Microsoft 365 plan based on how they actually work, not just how licences were assigned historically.
Strengthen Security
Use plan changes as an opportunity to review identity, email protection, device access, and security features available within Microsoft 365.
Prepare for Renewal
Review your Microsoft 365 environment before renewal so you can avoid unnecessary spend, reduce surprises, and make better licensing decisions.
What's Included Beyond the Price Change?
Enhanced Email Capabilities
Improved email, collaboration, and communication features that help teams work more efficiently across Outlook, Teams, and Microsoft 365.
Better Security
Additional protection against unsafe links, suspicious content, account compromise, and common Microsoft 365 security risks.
Copilot Improvements
Expanded Copilot Chat functionality and analytics enhancements designed to support smarter productivity, faster workflows, and better visibility.
Device Management
Additional management capabilities for supported plans, helping businesses control access, secure devices, and manage users more effectively.
Make Your Next Renewal Work Harder
Every Microsoft 365 renewal is an opportunity to review what your business is using, what it is paying for, and where security or productivity can improve.
By assessing licences before renewal, you can reduce unnecessary spend, strengthen your Microsoft 365 environment, and make sure every plan supports a real business need.
