Effective from 1 October 2025, Microsoft has announced updated pricing for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. This will mark the first global price adjustment in more than five years. The changes apply to both new and existing customers and will include increases across all user types, along with enhanced storage capacity for each license.
These updates reflect Microsoft’s ongoing investment in cloud infrastructure and product capabilities. While pricing is going up, so is the value customers receive.
|
Licence Type |

| Business Central Essentials | $70 per user/month | $80 per user/month | 3GB (up from 2GB) |
| Business Central Premium | $100 per user/month | $110 per user/month | 5GB (up from 3GB) |
| Business Central Device Licence | $40 per device/month | $45 per device/month | 1.5GB (up from 1GB) |
UK pricing will vary depending on currency conversion rates and regional adjustments.
Why is this important for your Business?
If your organisation uses Dynamics 365 Business Central, the new pricing structure could impact your budget and planning cycle. Although the increase might seem modest on a per-user basis, it can quickly add up across multiple departments or locations. Therefore, it’s essential to review your licensing mix and subscription renewal dates before 1 October 2025.
However, the added storage included in each tier should not be overlooked. As businesses grow and their systems carry more transactional and historical data, storage costs can become a hidden expense. Microsoft’s decision to include more storage with each licence is a practical step towards addressing that challenge.

With expanded storage limits now in place, you no longer need to pay for extra capacity. Reviewing your current usage can help you understand the potential benefits.
