Microsoft price changes April 2025

Microsoft have released a statement confirming that the British Pound £ prices for their Microsoft 365 services will be adjusted to more closely align with the local currency compared the US Dollar $.

Why are they doing this?

Since Microsoft is a US company, it sets its prices in US Dollars $. Over the last 8-10 months the British Pound £ currency has fluctuated quite dramatically against the US Dollar $. They are implementing this as a way of removing this fluctuation.

What does this mean for me?

From April 1st, we are reducing the price for Microsoft 365 subscriptions by between 5 and 6%, probably across the entire product range. As usual, Microsoft are giving little warning and will not announce the new UK GBP pricing until some time in March 2025!

What do I need to do?

For 99% of you, nothing. We will alter the pricing accordingly and continue to supply your existing Microsoft licenses at the new pricing levels. If you pay by Direct Debit, we will automatically take the correct amount every month as always. If you pay by BACS, then just continue to pay the amount due on each invoice as usual. For the few that have a standing order set up to pay any subscriptions, then you will need to adjust the standing order to take the decrease into account.

Are any other prices decreasing?

Currently the only price increase will be the Microsoft 365 subscriptions. Our IT support, website hosting and support, domain and server backup pricing plus adhoc and project hourly rates will remain unchanged.

When will we know exactly what the new pricing will be?

This is expected to be an decrease of approximately 5-6%. As soon as we know the exact new figure, we will update this page with the prices, and price following the increases from April.

Is this the only change?

No. Microsoft are also reducing the discount to those on an annual subscription paying monthly. With this in mind, we at Bandicoot have decided to remove this option. The default option is to be on the most flexible monthly contract and pay monthly as 95% of our clients do currently.

As always, if you have any questions, just let us know.

Have an amazing week!
