This marks Microsoft's first price change for Office 365 since Microsoft launched the subscription business in 2011. Microsoft still sells licensed Office.

The changes go into effect on March 1, 2022. Here's a rundown of the coming changes to the monthly prices:Microsoft 365 Business Premium will move to $22 from $20Office 365 E1 will be $10 instead of $8Creating Microsoft 365 with Windows has helped Microsoft sell Office subscriptions for people who aren't necessarily in front of PCs all day because they hold front-line positions, such as cashiers.

Increasing the amount of money coming from each Office subscriber is the other way Microsoft expands its Office cloud business. The company is making progress there, too, even leaving aside the coming price increases. The E5 tier represents 8% of the Office 365 installed base among commercial customers, chief financial officer Amy Hood told analysts in July.

The company won't be adjusting the cost of certain Office subscriptions, including Microsoft 365 E5 , Microsoft 365 F1 and Microsoft 365 F3 , a spokesperson told CNBC in an email. Consumer and education subscriptions won't be affected either.
