How to Find Your Microsoft 365 Renewal Date and Payment Account
Question details
The user needs to locate their Microsoft 365 subscription renewal date, payment method, and recurring billing status.

- Scenario
- Checking subscription status or billing details for an active Microsoft 365 account to manage payments or renewals.

View Subscription Details via Microsoft Services
The most direct way to check your renewal date and billing information through the official Microsoft account portal.
The Microsoft Services and subscriptions page displays your subscription status, recurring billing details, the next renewal or charge date, and the payment method associated with your account.
This method only works if you are logged into the exact Microsoft account used to purchase the subscription.
Open your web browser and go to https://account.microsoft.com/services.
Log in using the Microsoft account associated with your active Microsoft 365 subscription.
Scroll through the 'Services & subscriptions' page to find your specific Microsoft 365 plan.
Review the section to find your next charge date, the renewal amount, and your current payment information.
Verify Subscriptions Purchased Through Third Parties
Use this method if you purchased Microsoft 365 through an organization, Apple, Google, or another retailer, as they will not show up in standard Microsoft billing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why isn't my Microsoft 365 subscription showing up on the services page?
You might be signed in with the wrong Microsoft account. Sign out and try logging in with other email addresses you use. Alternatively, your subscription may have been purchased through a third-party retailer like Apple or Google, which requires checking their respective subscription menus.
How do I turn off recurring billing for Microsoft 365?
Go to the 'Services & subscriptions' page at account.microsoft.com/services, locate your Microsoft 365 subscription, select 'Manage', and choose the option to turn off recurring billing to prevent future automatic charges.
Why does the site ask me to install software instead of showing billing info?
This usually happens if the account you signed in with does not have an active Microsoft 365 subscription tied to it. Double-check your login credentials to ensure you are using the correct account that originally made the purchase.
