Microsoft 365 Charity Calculator2026-09-29T23:26:17+00:00

What should your charity pay for Microsoft 365?

Tell us who uses Microsoft 365 and what they need. We’ll show which licences you can get free, what the rest should cost at charity prices, and how much you could save. It takes about a minute.

How would you like to pay for paid licences?

Your people

Finance, HR, managers, or anyone working with personal data about the people you help. They need the installed Office apps and full security.

People who mainly use email and Teams, and can use Word and Excel in a web browser.

Microsoft's free licences are for paid staff and trustees only, so volunteers use a discounted licence instead.

They can usually be invited as guests using their own personal email, at no cost.

Excluding VAT. If you pay yearly, divide your bill by 12. Leave blank if you're not sure.

How Microsoft’s charity offers work

Free

For paid staff and trustees

Up to 300 Business Basic licenses: email, Teams, OneDrive and web versions of Word, Excel and PowerPoint.

Up to 75% off

For staff and volunteers

Paid plans such as Business Premium for the installed Office apps and stronger security, and F3 for volunteers who need their own email.

Guest access

For volunteers who just collaborate

Invite volunteers into Teams and SharePoint using their own personal email, at no cost.

Who can’t have charity licences: people you support, members and donors. The free Business Premium grant ended in July 2025, so charities that relied on it now pay the discounted price.

Questions charities ask us

Do you need access to our systems?2026-09-29T23:19:21+00:00

No. For the audit we ask questions and look at your invoices with you. We never ask for passwords.

How accurate is this calculator?2026-09-29T23:19:08+00:00

It’s a good estimate based on current Microsoft charity prices. Your free audit uses your real invoices and licences, so the figures in your written report are exact.

What happened to free Business Premium?2026-09-29T23:18:55+00:00

Microsoft used to give charities 10 free Business Premium licences. That grant ended at each charity’s first renewal after 1 July 2025. Business Premium is still available at a large charity discount, and we’ll help you decide who genuinely needs it.

Can volunteers have free licences?2026-09-29T23:18:39+00:00

No. Microsoft’s free licences are for paid staff and unpaid trustees or leaders only. Volunteers can have discounted licences, or be invited as guests into Teams and SharePoint at no cost if they don’t need their own charity email.

Is my charity eligible?2026-09-29T23:18:24+00:00

Most UK registered charities are eligible. Microsoft sets the rules and excludes some types of organisation, so we check your eligibility as part of the free audit before you commit to anything.
