Microsoft 365 License Cost Calculation

Determining the total monthly or annual cost of Microsoft 365 subscriptions by multiplying the number of users by the per-user license cost for each plan and summing the results.

  • Costs are typically per user per month or per user per year.
  • Different license plans have different price points.
