Microsoft has announced a price increase for Dynamics 365 Business Central, effective 1st November 2025 (or at your next renewal).
While no one welcomes higher costs, this is the first price adjustment in over five years, and it reflects the rapid evolution of Business Central — from AI-powered insights and automation to tighter Microsoft 365 integration.
Below we explain what’s changing, what it means for your organisation, and how Advantage can help you lock in today’s prices for the next three years.
What’s Changing from November 2025?
From 1st November 2025, the following Business Central licence prices will apply (per named user, per month):
| Edition | Monthly Contract | Annual Contract (Pay Monthly) | Annual Contract (Upfront) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Business Central Premium | £101.52 | £88.83 | £1,015.20 |
| Business Central Essentials | £73.80 | £64.58 | £738.00 |
| Business Central Device | £41.52 | £36.33 | £415.20 |
Key points to note:
- Prices apply to new and renewing customers.
- The Microsoft Teams licence remains unchanged.
- Annual contracts offer lower rates but cannot reduce users mid-term (only add).
- Monthly contracts provide flexibility to scale up or down as your business changes.
- Microsoft will increase the included data storage across licence tiers at no additional cost.

But you can Lock In Today’s Prices Until 2028
Here’s the good news - you can still secure the current pricing before the November increase.
If you purchase at least one Business Central licence before 1st November 2025, you can:
- Lock in that licence rate for up to three years,
- Add new licences later at the same lower price during that period.
This gives you valuable price protection and flexibility to grow without being affected by the November 2025 uplift.
What You Should Do Now
- Review your current setup: Check how many users you have and whether your current licence mix suits your business needs.
- Contact Advantage before 1st November: Our consultants can help you secure your existing rate and optimise your plan before renewal.
- Plan your roadmap: Think ahead about growth or new users you might need over the next few years - locking in now could save you significantly.
