How to cancel Microsoft 365 before you're charged
- Sign in at account.microsoft.com/services with the account you used for the trial.
- Find your Microsoft 365 subscription.
- If you see Cancel, select it and confirm. If you instead see "Turn on recurring billing," billing is already off and the trial will just expire.
- After the trial, Office switches to view-only mode — you can still open and print files.
Tips & gotchas
- The free web versions of Word, Excel and PowerPoint at office.com keep working after the trial.
- Trial sharing: anyone you shared a Family trial with also loses access when it ends.
