I have purchased a yearly subscritpion of Office 365 for Mac. Yet recently the latest version prevents me from using the fonts I've installed in my Macbook. (Also I don't need Copilot.) Hence I deleted Microsoft 365 and reinstalled 2021. My font problem is solved but I wonder if I can have a refund on the yearly subscription. My subscription starts from Sep. 3, 2025 to Sep. 2, 2026, and I canceled it today (Dec. 8, 2025). Can I at least get a minumum refund from Jan. 3, 2026 to Sep. 2, 2026, minus the discrepency of yearly and monthly subscription fee?

    When you cancel a yearly subscription, whether you are eligible for a refund depends on the type of billing account you have and when you cancel relative to your subscription period. Since you canceled your subscription on December 8, 2025, and your subscription runs until September 2, 2026, you may be eligible for a prorated refund for the unused portion of your subscription.

    If you have an MCA billing account type, you can only receive a prorated credit or refund if you cancel within seven days after the start or renewal of your subscription. Since you canceled after this period, you would typically not receive a refund. However, if you have an MOSA billing account type, you may receive a prorated credit or refund for the unused days, which would be credited towards your next invoice or returned in the next billing cycle.

    To determine the exact refund amount, you would need to calculate the effective unit price for the unused days from your cancellation date until the end of your subscription term. This calculation involves determining your daily rate and multiplying it by the number of unused days.

    For specific details regarding your account and eligibility for a refund, it is recommended to contact Microsoft support directly.

    Hi,

    Microsoft offers a prorated refund in several countries if you cancel the subscription before it expires. More about it is in the following article.

    Since this is a user-to-user support forum, you would need to contact support to get in touch with an agent and then request a refund. I have laid out the steps below.
