# Purchase reservations with monthly payments
1313

14-
Until now, Azure reservations required payment up front. Now you can pay for reservations with monthly payments. Unlike an up-front purchase where you pay the full amount, the monthly payment option divides the total cost of the reservation evenly over each month of the term. The total cost of up-front and monthly reservations is the same and you don't pay any extra fees when you choose to pay monthly.

When you exchange a reservation that's paid for monthly, the total lifetime cost of the new purchase should be greater than the leftover payments that are canceled for the returned reservation. There are no other limits or fees for exchanges. You can exchange a reservation that's paid for up front to purchase a new reservation that's billed monthly. However, the lifetime value of the new reservation should be greater than the prorated value of the reservation being returned.

If you cancel a reservation that's paid for monthly, Microsoft might apply a 12% cancellation fee to the canceled committed payments. However, Microsoft isn’t currently charging the penalty. Canceled committed payments accrue towards the $50,000 USD refund limit. If a cancellation penalty is charged, it doesn’t affect the refund limit.
