A clear, honest guide to what IT support costs in the UK in 2026 — typical price ranges for homes and businesses, what drives the price, and how to make sure you are getting fair value.

IT support pricing in the UK varies widely, and many providers keep their prices hidden — which makes it hard to know if you are getting a fair deal. Here is a straight answer.

Typical price ranges

For home users, monthly support typically runs from around £15 to £30 per month depending on how many devices you have. For small businesses, support is usually priced per user (or per device) and commonly falls somewhere around £20 to £60 per user per month, depending on the level of security, backups and management included. One-off repairs are normally quoted on the work involved.

What drives the price

  • Home or business, and how many users and devices.
  • Monthly plan vs pay-per-problem.
  • How much is included — basic help vs fully managed security, backups and Microsoft 365.
  • Remote (cheaper, faster) vs on-site support.

Watch for hidden costs

The headline price is not the whole story. Ask what is not included: call-out fees, ‘out of hours’ charges, project work, and long lock-in contracts can all add up. We publish our prices, keep plans rolling and agree any extra cost with you up front.

What we charge

To keep things simple and transparent: home support from £18.25/month per computer and business support from £24.38/month per computer, plus Microsoft 365 at £4.85/month per user, with no contracts and no hidden fees. See our pricing page for the full comparison, or get a tailored quick quote.

Key points

  • Home support is typically ~£15–£30/month
  • Business support is usually priced per user per month
  • What is included matters as much as the headline price
  • Watch for call-out fees, out-of-hours charges and lock-in contracts

// GOOD QUESTIONS

Frequently asked

Why do so few IT companies show their prices?

Many price case-by-case to maximise margin. We think that is unhelpful, so we publish clear starting prices and explain exactly what is included.

Is cheaper IT support worse?

Not always — but very low prices often exclude the proactive work (monitoring, patching, backups) that actually prevents problems. Compare what is included, not just the headline figure.
