Azure Pricing Overview | Microsoft Azure (original) (raw)

• Azure Hybrid Benefit is an Azure offer that allows you to maximize savings in your migration journey by giving a discount on server licenses or subscriptions and granting deployment rights. Customers can save up to 85% compared to standard rates when combined with Azure reservations and Extended Security Updates (ESUs).3 Azure Hybrid Benefit is applicable for customers with Windows Server and SQL Server licenses with software assurance or software subscription and customers with RHEL and SLES Linux subscriptions.
• Purchase Azure by using a credit card or opting to receive a monthly invoice. We don't accept prepaid or virtual credit cards. You are solely responsible for any credit card interest or other credit card charges. If you choose to pay by invoice (check or wire transfer), you can't switch to the credit card option. For more information, explore our purchasing options.
• Azure prices are in US dollars throughout the world, including Azure products and services, Azure support, and Azure reservations.
• All non-Microsoft products and services can be priced in US dollars or local currency.
• Azure is priced in US dollars (USD) worldwide under the Microsoft Customer Agreement. If you transact in one of the other supported currencies, your monthly cost is first calculated in USD. For payment, the total is then converted to the local currency.
• As part of the new commerce experience, an Azure plan gives you access to Azure services at standard pay-as-you-go rates under your Microsoft Customer Agreement.
• We use London closing spot rates that are captured in the two business days prior to the last business day of the previous month. If the two business days prior to the end of the month fall on a bank holiday in major markets, the rate-setting day is generally the day immediately preceding the two business days. This rate applies to all transactions during the upcoming month and will be applied to all Azure purchases and all Azure consumption in that month.
• If you are located in one of these regions, the usage associated with your signed Microsoft Customer Agreement(s) will have to be paid in US dollars. The local currency for each of these regions will no longer be supported by our payment system, learn more at Microsoft Customer Agreement FAQ. For pricing details on your existing subscriptions you can log in to your account, view the pricing calculator, and view your current pricing by selecting your existing agreement details.
