Microsoft 365 Price Increase

Microsoft 365 Increase Notification

Effective July 1, 2026, Microsoft will be adjusting prices across its 365 product range. The changes affect Enterprise, Frontline, Business, and Standalone component suites — both with Teams and without Teams variants. A separate set of Government SKU updates is also included.

The average increase applied by Mars across our Microsoft licensing portfolio was 6.84%. However, Microsoft do not apply a uniform increase across all products. Instead, pricing is adjusted on a product-by-product basis, with different licensing types and subscription plans receiving different percentage increases. As a result, some products may have increased by more than the overall average, while others increased by less or remained relatively unchanged. The 6.84% figure represents the average across the portfolio and should not be interpreted as the increase for every individual license.
