MicrosoftPlease explain to me how an increase from $6.99 to $9.99 is a 5% increase.
MicrosoftThank you for your question. The 5% increase mentioned in the post refers specifically to the adjustment taking effect on March 1, 2025. As previously communicated in the Microsoft 365 Government price updates article on January 17, 2023, Office 365 G1 pricing has been adjusted incrementally over multiple years. Since March 2022, Office 365 G1 pricing has been adjusted incrementally, with phased increases of 10% in 2022, 2023, and 2024, followed by a 5% increase in 2025.
If you've seen a change from $6.99 to $9.99, it may reflect the cumulative effect of multiple adjustments over time. The 5% increase applies to the most recent price prior to March 2025, not to earlier pricing from previous years.
For details specific to your organization’s pricing history, reviewing past invoices or consulting with your Microsoft account team or partner may provide further clarity.
