Growth margin is live

Partner Center Announcements Β· 1 Oct 2026

πŸ’° Growth margin went live on October 1, 2026, giving eligible CSP direct bill partners and distributors extra margin on qualifying expansion across Copilot, Microsoft 365 E5/E7, Defender, Purview and Windows 365 Enterprise.

πŸ’° Customer prices do not change.

πŸ‘‰ Eligibility is assessed across channels and partners at the customer-tenant level and locked when the transaction completes, so teams should validate it before every quote.

πŸ” Base margins also change for selected Microsoft 365 and Office 365 products; the public announcement directs partners to the sign-in-protected guide for product-level rates rather than publishing those figures.

Next step

Validate eligibility before quoting; discuss reseller implications with your distributor.
