Contact Microsoft Support for Personal Accounts
Use the official Microsoft support portal to reach billing support for subscription cancellation and refunds.
If your subscription was purchased using a personal Microsoft account, you must go through the official consumer support channels. Avoid relying on unofficial advice, such as simply canceling the bank card, as this can cause further account complications.
Navigate to the official Microsoft Support website and sign in with the account you used to purchase Microsoft Project.
Select 'Microsoft 365 and Office' from the list of products to ensure you are routed to the correct department.
Choose the 'Billing' or 'Cancel subscription' category to open the appropriate help wizard.
Request a refund and cancellation through the live chat feature or request a callback via telephone.
Open a Billing Ticket via Microsoft 365 Admin Center
If your subscription is tied to a business or 'onmicrosoft.com' account, an administrator must handle the billing request.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I just block the charge at my bank to cancel Microsoft Project?
It is highly recommended to cancel through official Microsoft billing support rather than just blocking the charge at your bank, as blocking payments can lead to account suspension or the remaining balance being sent to collections.
How do I find my Microsoft billing support case number?
Your support case number is typically sent to the email address associated with your Microsoft account immediately after you open a support ticket via chat or phone.
What if I cannot sign in to the account associated with the subscription?
If you are locked out of the account (such as an inaccessible onmicrosoft.com account), you will need to reach out to Microsoft's phone support directly and verify your identity and payment details to address the billing issue.
