The plans
What Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central charges
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central charges per full user each month, with Essentials at A$119.70 and Premium at A$164.60, paid yearly and excluding GST. A cheaper Team Members licence covers people who only need limited access, and the total climbs with every extra user and tier you add.
Essentials
A$119.70 per user per month
Covers finance and operations for full users, paid yearly and excluding GST.
Premium
A$164.60 per user per month
Adds manufacturing and service management on top of Essentials.
Team Members
A$12 per user per month
Limited access licence for occasional users, paid yearly and excluding GST.
How the bill is built
Priced per full user, per month
Essentials and Premium are licensed for each full user, billed at a monthly rate but paid yearly. Every person who touches an order, a stock movement or a job needs one of these seats.
Cheaper tier for occasional users
Team Members costs A$12 per user per month for people who only need limited access. It sits alongside the full user licences rather than replacing them, so the bill still grows with headcount.
Paid yearly, excluding GST
The published rates are excluded of GST and committed to yearly, not month to month. The A$14,364 to A$59,256 a year range for a 10 to 30 user scenario does not include partner implementation work.
Higher tier for more functions
Manufacturing and service management only come with Premium, at A$164.60 per user per month. Moving a team from Essentials to Premium to unlock those functions lifts the whole licence bill, not just for the users who need them.
A year of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central
A$14,364 to A$59,256 a year before partner work
For a calculated scenario running 10 users on Essentials up to 30 users on Premium, the yearly licence cost lands between A$14,364 and A$59,256, excluding GST. That figure is licences only. It does not include partner implementation, ongoing partner support or any custom work needed to fit the system to how your business actually runs.
Underneath the bill
What you are really paying for
A seat for every person on the team
Full users are licensed per person, per month, so the bill rises every time someone new needs to touch an order, a stock record or a job. Occasional users still need a paid seat, just at a lower rate.
Manufacturing and service held on a higher tier
Functions like manufacturing and service management only unlock on Premium, at A$164.60 per user per month. Teams that need those functions pay the higher rate for every full user, not just the ones using them.
Extra apps to make the package fit
Partner apps exist to tailor Business Central to your business. Reaching the fields, rules and connections a specific operation needs means paying for apps on top of the base licence.

Questions
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central pricing, answered
Does the Business Central price change as we add more users? expand_more
Yes. Essentials and Premium are licensed per full user, per month, so the bill increases with every person added. Team Members at A$12 per user per month is cheaper for occasional access, but it is still an extra licence on top of the full user seats.
Are there costs beyond the published per user licence? expand_more
The published rates cover the licence only, excluding GST. They do not include partner implementation work, ongoing partner support, or any partner apps needed to tailor the system, all of which add to what a business actually pays each year.
What pushes a business from Essentials onto the more expensive Premium tier? expand_more
Manufacturing and service management are only available on Premium, at A$164.60 per user per month rather than Essentials at A$119.70. A business that needs either function has to move every full user onto the higher tier, not just the users who need it.
