Slight increase in Microsoft 365 subscriptions

Effective on 1 March 2022, Microsoft is increasing the commercial pricing of Microsoft 365, the first substantive pricing update since it launched Office 365 a decade ago.

• Microsoft 365 Business Basic (from $5 to $6 per user)
• Microsoft 365 Business Premium (from $20 to $22)
• Microsoft 365 E3 (from $32 to $36)
• Office 365 E1 (from $8 to $10)
• Office 365 E3 (from $20 to $23)
• Office 365 E5 (from $35 to $38)

These increases will apply globally with some local market adjustments and UK pricing will be announced in February 2022. There are no changes to pricing for education and consumer products at this time.

Microsoft have said that "since its launch a decade ago, Office 365 has grown to over 300 million commercial paid seats. Along the way, we have continuously re-invested to meet the changing needs of our customers. Four years ago, we introduced Microsoft 365 to bring together the best of Office, Windows, and Enterprise Mobility and Security (EMS). That same year we added Microsoft Teams as the only integrated solution where you can meet, chat, call, collaborate, and automate business processes—right in the flow of work."
