The calculator
Volume tiers
| Licences in one order | Indicative saving | How it is applied |
|---|---|---|
| 1–4 | — | List price, buy online |
| 5–9 | about 8 % | Written quote, pay by card or bank transfer |
| 10–24 | about 10 % | Written quote; keys delivered as a spreadsheet if preferred |
| 25–49 | about 12 % | Written quote; staged delivery available |
| 50+ | about 15 % | Quote; we may recommend a Microsoft volume licensing partner instead if central management is required |
Tiers count every licence in the order, not just one product — 6 Office plus 4 Windows Pro is a 10-licence order.
The subscription comparison
The calculator compares your one-time total with Microsoft 365 Business Standard at Microsoft's US list price of $12.50 per user per month, over five years, for the same number of Office users. That is the honest like-for-like: Business Standard includes desktop Office plus Exchange mail hosting, Teams and 1 TB of OneDrive per user. If your team needs hosted e-mail or several devices per person, the subscription may be worth the difference — our article on the trade-off goes deeper.
Deploying to many PCs
- Retail keys, individual activation. Each key is redeemed once, on one device, with a Microsoft account. For 5–25 machines most customers do this by hand in an afternoon; we supply the keys in a spreadsheet with a column per device.
- Office Professional Plus 2024 is installed with the Office Deployment Tool (ODT), which lets you pre-configure the apps and silently install from a shared folder — our Office install guide explains the download-and-configure sequence.
- Windows 11 Pro upgrades can be applied without reinstalling: Settings → Activation → Change product key on each PC.
- Above ~50 seats, or if you need KMS/Active Directory-based activation, a volume agreement is the better tool. We will say so in the quote.
