Upcoming Microsoft Business Central Pricing Changes – What You Need to Know

Microsoft has officially announced pricing changes for Dynamics 365 Business Central, set to take effect on October 1, 2025. This marks the first significant price adjustment in over five years, accompanied by enhanced storage and powerful feature upgrades. Whether you’re an existing customer or considering Business Central for the first time, understanding these changes is crucial for future planning.

New Pricing & Storage Overview

Starting October 1, 2025, the updated monthly subscription prices and storage allocations are as follows:

The Team Member license remains unchanged in both pricing and storage.

These changes reflect a 10–15% price increase, while offering 33–50% more included storage—a move aimed at better aligning value with functionality.

Why Is Microsoft Adjusting Prices?

Microsoft attributes the pricing update to continuous investments in Business Central’s capabilities. Here’s what’s new and improved:

  • AI-Powered Features: Built-in Copilot functions, real-time financial insights, and automated reconciliation.
  • Advanced Analytics: Deepened analysis tools for finance and manufacturing teams.
  • Power Platform Integration: Seamless connectivity with Power BI, Power Automate, and Power Apps.
  • New Functionalities: Modules for sustainability tracking and master data management.
  • Global Support: More extensive localizations to support multi-national operations.

What This Means for Your Subscription

  • Current Customers: Your existing pricing remains in effect until your first renewal on or after October 1, 2025.
  • New Customers: Will be onboarded at the new pricing structure from the same date.

Currency & Regional Considerations

Though the pricing is listed in USD, local costs may vary depending on currency exchange rates and Microsoft’s regional pricing adjustments.

This update reinforces Microsoft’s commitment to keeping Business Central competitive and innovative. While pricing is going up modestly, users gain access to richer functionality, greater storage, and deeper integration within the Microsoft ecosystem.
