Microsoft has officially announced pricing updates for Microsoft 365 commercial plans, effective 1 July 2026. Rather than a blanket increase, this update introduces different adjustment levels across product categories, depending on plan type and target user group.
Below is a high-level breakdown to help organisations quickly understand the scope and impact—without going into SKU-by-SKU detail.
Designed for mid-to-large enterprises with advanced security, compliance, and management needs.
Overall, E5 sees a more modest uplift compared to E3, reflecting Microsoft’s continued strategy of consolidating advanced security and management capabilities within higher-tier plans.
Best suited for small to mid-sized businesses and growing organisations.
Business Premium remains one of the few plans with frozen pricing, making it a strong option for SMBs that require built-in security and device management.
Targeted at retail, logistics, manufacturing, healthcare, and other frontline environments.
Frontline licences experience some of the most noticeable adjustments in this update. Organisations are encouraged to review licence allocation and actual usage carefully.
Including security, management, and productivity add-ons.
Not all standalone components are affected. The actual impact depends on your licence mix and configuration.
