How much does Jira cost per year?
There is no single annual price for Jira: it depends on the plan you choose and how many users you have. Jira Cloud is free for up to 10 users, and on paid plans list pricing works out at roughly $78 to $95 per user per year on Standard and $145 to $175 on Premium, so a 300-person team pays around $23,500 a year on Standard or $43,500 on Premium.
Paying annually instead of monthly saves up to 17%, but prices are banded by user tier, so crossing a boundary (from 100 to 101 users, for example) can push the annual bill up sharply. Enterprise pricing is quoted individually and only becomes available from 801 users upwards, while the self-managed Data Center option is quote-only.
The licence is rarely the full cost either. Most teams also need to budget for Marketplace apps, Atlassian Guard for SSO and user provisioning, and Rovo AI credits beyond the included allowance, which is where real annual spend tends to land well above the headline figure.
