Xero Price Increases 1 st September 2025 – how much more will I be charged?

Paula Veysey-Smith • 10 August 2025

Now you can be excused if you’ve missed the announcement of the latest price increases by Xero. Apart from a rather low key “Pricing Update” notice and customer emails there has been little else published on the internet explaining the latest round of increases in the Xero Plans. So, here’s your opportunity to understand how Xero’s recent update will impact the plan you are on.


Plan Current Price* New Price* Increase
Simple £7/month £7/month No change
Ignite £16/month £16/month No change
Grow £33/month £37/month Increase £4
Comprehensive £47/month £50/month Increase £3
Ultimate £59/month £65/month Increase £6

*Not including VAT


Xero attribute the increases to the continued investment in the platform, making it more reliable, secure and useful. These improvements are designed to give business owners the ability to run their organisations more efficiently while improving the overall user experience and providing better support to clients’ evolving needs.


Price increases, though never welcome, are inevitable when running a business. They should be expected, anticipated and seen as an opportunity review the current service being provided. In terms of Xero, questions such as “am I on the right plan?” or “is this the right bookkeeping product for me?” should be asked. Making changes can seem daunting but also can lead to more effective bookkeeping as well as providing significant savings.


There are many bookkeeping products on the market with the Xero, Quickbooks, Freeagent and Sage being the top four. Other systems are available and new providers are coming into the market all the time with good offerings. In an ever-developing market it is important to keep aware of what is available and be willing to change to another system if it is going to be more appropriate to your business.


At MPower we use all the major bookkeeping software and have a very good understanding of their strengths, weaknesses and fit to individual business needs. If you’re not sure whether Xero is still the right system for you do contact us to discuss your requirements from your bookkeeping platform and we will be able to guide you.

I can file my own MTD Return, can’t I – isn’t it just clicking a button?

Why Filing Your Own MTD Returns Isn't a Good Idea

R is for Reward

by Paula Veysey-Smith • 8 July 2026
The finish line isn't just a destination. It's proof of everything you put in to get there. “Nothing feels so good as when you've succeeded at something you set out to do.” We made it. Seven letters, seven posts, and one very important journey. If you've been following this series from the beginning, you'll know that back in January we started with a goal — a triathlon in July. And as I write this, sitting in the garden with an iced coffee and a medal around my neck, I can tell you: it happened.  R is for Reward. And it might just be my favourite letter of the lot.

E is for Evaluate

Setting a goal is just the beginning. What keeps it alive — and keeps you moving towards it — is what you do in between. “Evaluating what you're doing is so important. What worked, what didn't, what can I do better?” We're six letters into the SMARTER framework now. We've covered Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Time-bound. Today we reach E for Evaluate — and I'll be honest with you, I think this might be the most important letter of the lot.
