Microsoft Reduces Prices for Cloud Services Across Many European Countries

Effective February 1, 2026, Microsoft has once again implemented a price adjustment for its cloud services. Following price increases across various product areas in the previous year, this latest change introduces price reductions for several currencies. The adjustment primarily affects customers in Europe and is part of Microsoft’s global pricing model announced in May 2023. 

Note: Local installations (on-premises services) are not affected by the price reduction. 

Since May 2023, Microsoft has been adjusting prices for its cloud products on a semiannual basis to reflect international exchange rate movements against the US dollar. These assessments take place twice a year, on September 1 and February 1. The objective is to ensure a more consistent and stable global pricing structure. For February 2026, several currencies have now been identified as eligible for price reductions.
