Check Storage Add-on Pricing in the Microsoft 365 Admin Center
View the exact add-on cost tailored to your organization's specific region and subscription plan directly from the admin portal.
Microsoft prices extra SharePoint storage on a per-gigabyte (GB) per-month basis. To find the cost of a full terabyte, you will typically need to multiply the per-GB rate by 1,024 GB, or look for bulk add-on options available for your tier.
Sign in to the Microsoft 365 admin center using an account with Global Administrator or Billing Administrator privileges.
On the left navigation pane, go to 'Billing' and click on 'Purchase services'.
Use the search bar to look for 'SharePoint Storage' or scroll to the Add-ons category.
Select the 'Office 365 Extra File Storage' or 'SharePoint Additional Storage' add-on to view the exact price per gigabyte in your local currency.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is extra SharePoint storage billed per GB or per TB?
Microsoft typically bills extra SharePoint storage on a per-gigabyte (GB) per-month basis. To calculate the price of a full terabyte, you must multiply the current per-GB rate by 1,024.
How can I free up SharePoint space instead of buying more?
You can reclaim storage by emptying the first and second-stage recycle bins, deleting obsolete file version histories, and archiving outdated site collections to cheaper cold storage solutions.
Does my personal OneDrive storage count against the SharePoint quota?
No. OneDrive for Business operates on an independent storage quota assigned to individual users. The SharePoint storage limit is a shared pool for the entire organization's team sites and communication sites.
Can non-admins view SharePoint storage pricing?
Generally, no. Standard users do not have access to the Billing and Purchase Services sections in the Microsoft 365 admin center. Only users with Billing Administrator or Global Administrator roles can view pricing and make purchases.
