About Microsoft AI Spend Estimator
Microsoft AI Spend Estimator is a cost modelling and budgeting tool from NeilC AI Consulting. It brings Microsoft 365 Copilot seats, Copilot Credits, Cowork, Copilot Code, Autopilot agents, Copilot Studio agents and Microsoft Foundry into one forecast, so finance, procurement and IT can argue from the same numbers.
Microsoft prices agentic AI by consumption, and published guidance gives ranges rather than deterministic per-task costs. Every output here is therefore a Low / Likely / High range, and every rate is labelled either Published or Assumption on the rates page. Rate card last verified 28 Sep 2026.
