& how to save yourself from paying this year’s increase
Microsoft is increasing the price of all annual licence subscriptions from April 1st 2025.
Prices are increasing by 5% from that date and will cover all-encompassing and standalone SKUS, such as:
- Microsoft 365
- Office 365
- Enterprise Mobility + Security
- Windows 365
- Dynamics 365 Services
- Power Platform
How to delay the increase
Annual licences renewed before April 1st 2025 will be charged at the existing price for the full term of that commitment. This will push any licencing cost increases back by 12 months, or until Microsoft next increase their prices.

Looking for more licences?
If you’re increasing your licence count or adding/upgrading SKUs, doing this before the April 1st deadline will save you paying the price increase. The alternative is to pay upfront annually.
