Xero Pricing Changes From 1 July 2026: What Businesses Need to Know
If your business uses Xero, it is worth being aware of the updated subscription pricing taking effect from 1 July 2026. Xero has released revised pricing across its Australian business plans, with changes impacting businesses of all sizes, from sole traders through to larger employers.
While software pricing increases are becoming more common, the updated plans continue to provide access to accounting, payroll, forecasting and business management tools that many businesses rely on day to day.
Updated Xero Plan Pricing
From 1 July 2026, Xero’s Australian business plan pricing will be:
- Ignite — $37/month
- Grow — $78/month
- Comprehensive — $107/month
- Ultimate 10 — $143/month
- Ultimate 20 — $180/month
- Ultimate 50 — $250/month
- Ultimate 100 — $300/month
What Is Included?
All Xero plans continue to include core accounting functionality such as bank reconciliation, GST and BAS tracking, invoice and quote creation, bill entry, Hubdoc integration, cash flow tracking and business snapshots.
Higher-tier plans also include additional features such as payroll for larger teams, multi-currency support, advanced cash flow forecasting with Analytics Plus, expense claims and mileage tracking, and project tracking tools.
Which Businesses Could Be Most Affected?
The pricing changes are likely to have the biggest impact on businesses with multiple payroll users, growing businesses moving into higher-tier plans, businesses using projects, expenses or forecasting tools, and larger employers on Ultimate subscriptions.
For many businesses, the additional cost may still represent good value when compared with the time savings, reporting improvements and automation benefits Xero provides.
A Good Time to Review Your Setup
With the updated pricing commencing from 1 July 2026, this is a good opportunity to review whether your current Xero subscription still suits your business requirements.
Some businesses may be paying for features they no longer use, while others may benefit from upgrading to access additional reporting, payroll or forecasting tools.
