Taking a look at Office 2016 packages and value points necessarily includes referring to Windows 10 pricing too.

This is because some of the new versions of Office is going to be included free of charge with certain Windows 10 packages. For many Windows users, upgrading to Windows 10 can also be free for that newbie. More premium versions of Office and Windows, however, will come with one more price tag.

So, this is actually the simplest I could get this to fairly complex topic. After all, we are referring to a lot of different upcoming versions of Office, with various delivery methods (on device versus cloud-based, which means it requires a web connection and a monthly or yearly account), on the host of various desktop and mobile devices.

Quite simply, please keep in mind that it is still early therefore we all have a bunch of questions. However i hope this can be a helpful early summary.

The Overview

Windows 10 users will be able to choose one of the following tiers or SKUs: Home, Mobile, Education, Pro, Enterprise, and Mobile Enterprise.

We don't yet know any pricing estimates for Office 2016 itself, consider Windows 10 is part of the Office 2016 landscape, here is some information on which we know about that, within the interim.

Windows 10 SKUs (or Packages and Pricing Tiers)

Here is a little more detail I've summarized based on ZDNet's recent description of estimates for every of those brackets. In that article, Mary Jo Foley explains this about existing Windows customers:

"Microsoft is making Windows 10 available for free for that newbie to consumers with Windows 7 Service Pack 1 and Windows 8.1 by July 29, 2015. This can be a short time promotion that expires on July 29, 2016. When the promotion ends, Microsoft will start charging Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 users to upgrade to Windows 10."

Note: While you review the following list, you may even be interested in How you can Preview Microsoft's Universal Office Apps for Windows 10, or the desktop Office 2016 preview links after the article.

Windows 10 Home (Estimated List price of $99): A desktop version for most consumers. Based on your device's screen size (10.1 inches or smaller), you should have free access towards the new touch-focused Universal Office Apps. It's also wise to see: Cortana, new face- or fingerprint-recognition for login, and also the Edge web browser.

Windows 10 Mobile (No Estimate Yet): A mobile version for many consumers. Based on your device's display size (between 3 and 7.99 inches), you should have free access to the new touch-focused Universal Office Apps and much more.
Windows 10 Education (No Estimate Yet): A version for students, teachers, administrators, along with other employees of approved academic institutions. More detail about volume licensing and more to come.
Windows 10 Pro (Estimated Retail Price of $199): A desktop and mobile version for consumers and professionals. This version enables you to also access Windows Update for Business.
Windows 10 Enterprise (No Estimate Yet): A desktop version for businesses thinking about volume licensing.
Windows 10 Mobile Enterprise (No Estimate Yet): A mobile version for businesses interested in volume licensing.

After i do learn about additional pricing estimates or any other details, I'll update this page for further comparison. Until then, this hopefully can help you further patch together where the next version of Office is headed.
