What are customer currency exchange rates for purchases

Use this article to learn more about currency exchange rates for your Azure Marketplace purchases.

Marketplace purchasing and Azure alignment

Purchases through the marketplace align to Azure billing for customers with either a Microsoft Customer Agreement (MCA) or an Enterprise Agreement (EA). You can also buy directly with your credit card or activate your Azure subscription for the solution you're buying for through a Microsoft Online Services Program. For credit card purchasing through Microsoft AppSource, see this article.

Marketplace-supported currencies

The marketplace supports 16 currencies for the partner solutions available in the catalog.

Your billing currency refers to the currency specified in your organization's customer agreement (for customers with either an EA or MCA). The legal address that your organization provided at the time of signing up for your account determines your billing geography and currency.

Marketplace offers are displayed in local market currency. If the local market currency doesn't match your billing currency, the offer is converted to the billing currency at the time of invoicing. The exchange rate for each payment is the rate in effect during the month in which the charge was incurred.

See the following table to understand what currency is supported for your billing address. Separate agreements such as Microsoft Azure consumption commitments (MACCs) can result in differences between market currency and billing currency. Regions not listed aren't supported by the marketplace.

Monthly foreign exchange rates

Microsoft calculates its monthly foreign exchange rate using the WM/Refinitiv London spot closing rate at 4:00 pm, three business days before the end of the previous month. For example, the rate from August 29, 2024, is applied to determine September 2024's marketplace FX rate. For more information about WM/Refinitiv, please visit their site.

Find the same rates Microsoft uses on the Financial Times site

Microsoft is prohibited from publishing WM/Refinitiv rates. Financial Times makes them available as part of a subscription. To subscribe:

  1. Register for a paid subscription at Markets data.
  2. Scroll to Daily reports from the Financial Times print edition, select a date, and download the PDF for World Markets at a Glance.

Note

The date you select is the day the newspaper published. The rates you then download are from one day earlier. So, for example, Friday's edition of the Financial Times contains Thursday's rates.
