Rates & assumptions

Every rate the forecast uses, with its source and whether Microsoft has published it. Override any value — your changes are kept in this browser and feed straight into the model.

Estimates only. Microsoft does not publish deterministic per-task pricing and some rates are assumptions. Not financial advice. Verify against your agreement and current Microsoft documentation.

Rate card last verified 28 Sep 2026. All Microsoft prices are held in USD; displayed figures use the editable conversion rate in the planner’s global settings.

Monthly London spot reference

USD conversion rates derived from Bank of England sterling spot rates. Target: two calendar days before the prior month-end; the latest earlier published business-day observation is used when needed.
