$54 to $78. On inflation alone it would be $63.
Xero has raised Australian prices five times since 2022. Here is every change to the mid-tier plan, in dollars, against the Consumer Price Index.
Retail prices in Australian dollars per month, at each change date. CPI: Australian Bureau of Statistics, annual movement to the June quarter, compounded.
The mid-tier plan has gone from $54 to $78 a month: $59 in September 2022, $65 in September 2023, $70 in July 2024, $75 in July 2025, and $78 from 1 July 2026. That is 44% in four years against CPI of 16.6%. Had the price only tracked inflation it would sit near $63 today. The top tiers moved harder.

The multi-organisation discount was also removed on 1 July 2026.
The rise is Xero's decision. The work it creates belongs to the firm: pricing reviews, repeating invoices updated line by line, and emails explaining to clients a cost the firm did not set. None of it is billable, and it has now happened five times in four years.
Firms that absorb the increase, or keep passing on their full partner discount, pay twice: once in margin, once in admin.
Not a benchmark. One plan, one count. Swap in your own.
That amount either reaches client billing, comes out of margin, or gets part-recovered through unbillable admin. There is no fourth option.
Firms on Rechargly do not touch anything when Xero re-prices. Client invoices regenerate at the new price automatically, so each increase passes straight through from day one.
