#### SaaS on Azure Billing infrastructure costs
78-
If the SaaS offer is hosted in Azure, you, as the publisher, must account for Azure infrastructure usage fees, and software licensing fees as a single cost item. This cost is represented as a flat monthly fee to the customer. Azure infrastructure usage is managed and billed to you, the partner, directly. Actual infrastructure usage fees are not seen by the customer. Publishers typically opt to bundle Azure infrastructure usage fees into their software license pricing.

#### SaaS pricing and billing options

With SaaS solutions running in the publisher's Azure subscription, license fees paid by customers include the cost of the infrastructure upon which the software is deployed. Azure infrastructure usage is managed and billed to you, the partner, directly. Actual infrastructure usage fees are not seen by the customer. Publishers should bundle Azure infrastructure usage fees into their software license pricing.

Software licensing fees are presented as a monthly, recurring site-based subscription flat-rate fee and are not metered or consumption based.
80+
SaaS offers support monthly or annual billing based on a flat fee, per user, or consumption charges using the metered billing service. Microsoft's commercial marketplace operates on an agency model, whereby publishers set prices, Microsoft bills customers, and Microsoft pays revenue to the publisher while withholding an agency fee.

The following table shows an example break down of costs and payouts to demonstrate the agency model.

> **Reduced Marketplace Service Fee**: For certain SaaS offers that you have published on our Commercial Marketplace, Microsoft will reduce its Marketplace Service Fee from 20% (as described in the Microsoft Publisher Agreement) to 10%. In order for your offer to qualify, at least one of your offers must have been designated by Microsoft as being either IP co-sell ready or IP co-sell prioritized. Eligibility must be met at least five (5) business days before the end of each calendar month in order to receive this reduced Marketplace Service Fee for the month. The Reduced Marketplace Service Fee does not apply to VMs, Managed Apps or any other products made available through our Commercial Marketplace. The Reduced Marketplace Service Fee will only be available to qualified offers for license charges collected by Microsoft between May 1, 2019 and June 30, 2020. After this time, the Marketplace Service Fee will return to its normal amount.
