Please see statement issued by Microsoft:
Today, we are announcing that Microsoft is taking several steps to align the pricing of our Microsoft Cloud products globally, meaning customers will have consistent pricing reflecting the exchange rate of the local currency to the US dollar (USD). Starting April 1, 2023, pricing for Microsoft Cloud products will be adjusted in the following currencies:
GBP: +9%
In March 2021, Microsoft changed their model of licence to the NCE - New Commerce Experience. The increase will affect the licence types in the following ways:
Microsoft 365 Business Basic (20% Increase)
Microsoft 365 Business Premium (10% Increase)
Office 365 E1 (25% Increase)
Office 365 E3 (15% Increase)
Office 365 E5 (8.5% Increase)
Microsoft 365 E3 (12.5% Increase)
In the future, Microsoft will assess pricing in local currency as part of a regular twice a year cadence, taking into consideration currency fluctuations relative to the USD. This will provide increased transparency and predictability for customers globally and move to a pricing model that is most common in our industry.
The Microsoft Cloud continues to be priced competitively, and Microsoft remains deeply committed to the success of its customers and partners. We will continue to invest to enable customers to innovate, consolidate and eliminate operating costs, optimize business performance and efficiency and provide the foundation for a strong security strategy that customers around the world have come to rely on.
