Microsoft generated $82.9 billion in revenue in Q3 FY2026 (the quarter ended March 31, 2026), up 18% year-over-year, driven by Microsoft Cloud reaching $54.5 billion (+29%) and an AI business that has now crossed a $37 billion annual revenue run rate — growing 123% year-over-year, per the company’s official earnings press release filed April 29, 2026.
Quick Answer
Microsoft’s most recent quarterly revenue (Q3 FY2026, ended March 31, 2026) was $82.9 billion, up 18% YoY. Full-year FY2025 revenue reached $281.7 billion. Microsoft Cloud revenue hit $54.5 billion in Q3 FY2026 (+29%). The company’s AI business surpassed a $37 billion annual run rate (+123% YoY). Microsoft 365 Copilot now has over 20 million paid enterprise seats, and Azure grew 40% year-over-year. Microsoft employs approximately 228,000 people globally.
Key Findings
- Axis Intelligence Research finds Microsoft’s AI business crossed a $37 billion annual revenue run rate in Q3 FY2026 (+123% YoY), making AI the fastest-growing segment in the company’s recorded history, per Satya Nadella’s statement during the April 29, 2026 earnings call.
- Azure and other cloud services revenue grew 40% year-over-year in Q3 FY2026 — the fifth consecutive quarter of approximately 40% growth — with commercial remaining performance obligations reaching a record $627 billion (+99% YoY), per Microsoft’s Q3 FY2026 earnings press release.
- Microsoft 365 Copilot reached over 20 million paid enterprise seats as of April 2026, up from 15 million in January 2026, representing a 33% sequential gain and the fastest three-month Copilot seat expansion since launch, per Microsoft’s Q3 FY2026 earnings commentary.
- Axis Intelligence Research calculates Microsoft’s AI Monetisation Index (MAMI™) at 6.40 out of 10 for the July 2026 baseline — a composite score measuring four AI monetisation dimensions (formula and inputs disclosed in the Methodology section below).
- Microsoft’s full-year FY2025 revenue was $281.7 billion, with operating income of $128.5 billion and net income of $101.8 billion, per the company’s Form 10-K filed with the SEC (fiscal year ended June 30, 2025).
How Much Revenue Does Microsoft Generate?
Microsoft reported $82.9 billion in quarterly revenue for Q3 FY2026 (the quarter ended March 31, 2026), an 18% increase year-over-year and a beat against Wall Street consensus of $81.4 billion, per the official Microsoft Q3 FY2026 earnings press release published April 29, 2026.
Operating income for the same quarter was $38.4 billion, up 20% year-over-year, yielding an operating margin of 46.3% — up from 45.7% in the comparable quarter of fiscal 2025. Net income reached $31.8 billion (+23% YoY), and diluted earnings per share were $4.27 (+23% YoY).
For the nine months ended March 31, 2026, Microsoft generated $241.8 billion in total revenue with operating income of $114.6 billion.
Annual Revenue (FY2025 vs. FY2024)
Microsoft’s fiscal year runs July 1 to June 30. The most recently completed full fiscal year (FY2025) produced the following results, per the company’s Form 10-K filed with the SEC:
| Metric | FY2025 | FY2024 | YoY Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total Revenue | $281.7B | $245.1B | +15% |
| Operating Income | $128.5B | $109.4B | +17% |
| Net Income | $101.8B | $88.1B | +16% |
| Diluted EPS | $13.64 | $11.80 | +16% |
| R&D Spend | ~$29.5B | ~$29.5B | ~flat |
| Source: Microsoft Form 10-K (SEC), fiscal year ended June 30, 2025 |
FY2025 marked the first time Microsoft exceeded $100 billion in net income in a single fiscal year.
Q3 FY2026 Revenue by Segment
Microsoft operates three reportable segments. Q3 FY2026 results, per the official earnings press release:
| Segment | Q3 FY2026 Revenue | Q3 FY2025 Revenue | YoY Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Productivity & Business Processes | $35.0B | $29.9B | +17% |
| Intelligent Cloud | $34.7B | $26.8B | +30% |
| More Personal Computing | $13.2B | $13.4B | –1% |
| Total | $82.9B | $70.1B | +18% |
| Source: Microsoft Q3 FY2026 Earnings Press Release, April 29, 2026 |
Intelligent Cloud — the segment housing Azure — overtook Productivity & Business Processes in revenue for the second consecutive quarter, cementing a shift in Microsoft’s revenue center of gravity. More Personal Computing declined modestly, as Xbox hardware revenue fell 33% amid console cycle headwinds, partially offset by 12% growth in search advertising revenue excluding traffic acquisition costs.
Microsoft Cloud Statistics
Microsoft Cloud is the company’s aggregate of commercial cloud products: Azure, Microsoft 365 Commercial Cloud, LinkedIn, Dynamics 365, and other cloud services. This is not synonymous with Azure alone.
Microsoft Cloud revenue reached $54.5 billion in Q3 FY2026 (+29% YoY), per the Q3 FY2026 earnings press release. Annualizing Q3 puts the Microsoft Cloud on a $218 billion run rate — a figure that places it in a category occupied by very few businesses worldwide.
The commercial remaining performance obligation (RPO) — contracted but unrecognized future revenue — hit $627 billion in Q3 FY2026, up 99% year-over-year. Approximately 30% of that backlog is expected to convert to revenue within the next 12 months, per CFO Amy Hood’s commentary during the earnings call. This figure is the clearest available signal of the scale of multi-year Azure and Microsoft 365 Copilot commitments already signed.
Azure Growth Sequence (FY2025–FY2026)
| Quarter | Azure YoY Growth (Reported) | Azure YoY Growth (Constant Currency) |
|---|---|---|
| Q3 FY2025 (Mar 2025) | +33% | N/A |
| Q4 FY2025 (Jun 2025) | +39% | +39% |
| Q1 FY2026 (Sep 2025) | +40% | +40% |
| Q2 FY2026 (Dec 2025) | +39% | +39% |
| Q3 FY2026 (Mar 2026) | +40% | +39% |
| Source: Microsoft Q3 FY2026 Earnings Press Release and comparable-period disclosures |
The consistency of Azure’s growth across five consecutive quarters — maintained while adding approximately $7.9 billion in quarterly Intelligent Cloud revenue year-over-year — is the statistical signature of durable capacity absorption rather than a one-quarter spike. CFO Amy Hood noted that capacity constraints from AI infrastructure demand are expected to persist at least through 2026.
Azure operates across 70+ regions and 400+ datacenter facilities globally, giving it one of the largest publicly disclosed cloud footprints. Microsoft reports that 95% of Fortune 500 companies use Azure, per the company’s own disclosures. Synergy Research Group’s Q1 2026 hyperscaler tracker estimates Azure holds approximately 24% of global cloud infrastructure spending, trailing AWS (approximately 30%) but growing faster (+40% YoY vs. AWS’s +19%).
Microsoft AI Statistics: The $37 Billion Business
The AI numbers are the most consequential story in Microsoft’s 2026 data, and they deserve careful unpacking. Three separate metrics together tell the story.
First: the aggregate. CEO Satya Nadella stated on the Q3 FY2026 earnings call (April 29, 2026) that Microsoft’s AI business has surpassed a $37 billion annual revenue run rate, up 123% year-over-year. This figure encompasses Azure AI services, Microsoft 365 Copilot seat revenue, GitHub Copilot subscriptions, Copilot Studio, and other AI-powered cloud revenues across segments. It does not equal AI net profit; capital expenditures for AI infrastructure are running at levels that compress near-term free cash flow.
Second: enterprise seat monetization. Microsoft 365 Copilot crossed 20 million paid enterprise seats as disclosed during Q3 FY2026 earnings — up 33% sequentially from the 15 million seats reported in January 2026. The number of organizations purchasing more than 50,000 Copilot seats quadrupled year-over-year. Accenture committed to over 740,000 seats — the single largest known Copilot deployment. Bayer, Johnson & Johnson, Mercedes, and Roche each operate more than 90,000 seats. Weekly engagement on Copilot is now described by Nadella as reaching “the same level as Outlook” among active users, though Microsoft has not released independent third-party verification of that engagement benchmark.
Third: the developer layer. GitHub Copilot reached 4.7 million paid subscribers as disclosed in Microsoft’s Q2 FY2026 earnings (January 28, 2026), growing approximately 75% year-over-year. GitHub Copilot is now deployed at approximately 90% of Fortune 100 companies, per Microsoft’s commentary. Enterprise subscriptions for GitHub Copilot nearly tripled year-over-year.
The gap between the aggregate ($37B run rate) and the visible seat counts is occupied by Azure AI Foundry consumption, Azure OpenAI Service metered usage, Dynamics 365 AI features, and Security Copilot — none of which carry publicly disclosed per-unit pricing that would allow independent reconstruction of the $37 billion figure.
Axis Intelligence Research — MAMI™ Score
The Axis Intelligence Research Microsoft AI Monetisation Index (MAMI™) is an original metric designed to measure how effectively Microsoft is converting its AI product surface into recurring, paid revenue. No competitor publishes this composite. The baseline reading is 6.40 / 10 as of July 2026.
Formula: MAMI™ = (C1 × W1) + (C2 × W2) + (C3 × W3) + (C4 × W4)
Components and inputs (all sourced from fetched primary documents):
| Component | Raw Input | Normalized Score (0–10) | Weight | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| C1: M365 Copilot Seat Penetration (CSPRTY) | 20M paid seats ÷ 450M commercial seats = 4.44% | 2.22 (ceiling: 20%) | 35% | Microsoft Q3 FY2026 & Q2 FY2026 earnings |
| C2: GitHub Copilot Paid Penetration (GCPPY) | 4.7M paid subs ÷ 100M GitHub users = 4.70% | 4.70 (ceiling: 10%) | 15% | Microsoft Q2 FY2026 earnings |
| C3: AI Revenue Growth Rate (ARARGY) | +123% YoY AI ARR growth | 10.00 (capped at 100%+) | 35% | Satya Nadella, Q3 FY2026 earnings call |
| C4: RPO-to-Revenue Ratio (RPORY) | $627B RPO ÷ $331.6B annualized revenue = 1.89× | 9.45 (ceiling: 2.0×) | 15% | Microsoft Q3 FY2026 earnings |
| MAMI™ Baseline (Jul 2026) | 6.40 / 10 | Axis Intelligence Research calculation |
Computation: (2.22 × 0.35) + (4.70 × 0.15) + (10.00 × 0.35) + (9.45 × 0.15) = 0.78 + 0.71 + 3.50 + 1.42 = 6.40
The score reveals a structural tension that any honest reading of the data must confront: Microsoft’s AI revenue momentum is exceptional (C3: 10/10) and its contracted future demand is locked in at record scale (C4: 9.45/10), but the conversion of its existing commercial seat base into paid AI seats remains early-stage (C1: 2.22/10). Only 4.44% of the 450 million commercial Microsoft 365 seats are paying for a Copilot add-on. The next inflection in MAMI™ will depend less on AI revenue growth and more on whether seat penetration can cross 10% before FY2028.

Microsoft Workforce Statistics
As of June 30, 2025 — the most recently available audited employee figure from Microsoft’s Form 10-K filed with the SEC — Microsoft employed approximately 228,000 people on a full-time basis: 125,000 in the United States and 103,000 internationally.
Workforce by Function (FY2025, per 10-K)
| Function | Employees | Share of Total |
|---|---|---|
| Operations (product support, datacenter, manufacturing) | 89,000 | 39% |
| Product R&D | 80,000 | 35% |
| Sales and marketing | 44,000 | 19% |
| General and administration | 15,000 | 7% |
| Total | 228,000 | 100% |
| Source: Microsoft Form 10-K, fiscal year ended June 30, 2025 (filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission) |
Axis Intelligence Research calculates FY2025 revenue per full-time employee at approximately $1.24 million ($281.7B ÷ 228,000 employees). This is not a metric Microsoft discloses; it is derived from the 10-K’s audited revenue figure and the 10-K’s employee count, both for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025. This figure has increased from approximately $893,000 in FY2021, reflecting the revenue composition shift toward high-margin cloud and AI products over the period.
Microsoft’s workforce has remained essentially flat at 228,000 since FY2024, despite revenue growing 15% in FY2025. In calendar year 2025, Microsoft disclosed two rounds of layoffs totaling approximately 15,000 positions, with a further voluntary retirement program expected to carry approximately $900 million in one-time costs in fiscal Q4 2026. The flat headcount against strong revenue growth is the workforce-level expression of what Azure and Copilot margins look like at scale.
Windows and Operating System Statistics
Windows runs on more than 1.6 billion installed devices, a milestone disclosed by Microsoft in July 2026. The company previously stated “over 1.4 billion monthly active devices” in a Windows Experience Blog post dated June 24, 2025.
Windows 11 reached 1 billion users, announced by Microsoft leadership during the Q2 FY2026 earnings call (January 28, 2026).
Desktop OS Market Share
StatCounter, which measures web traffic across billions of monthly page views globally, reported the following for June 2026:
| OS | Global Desktop Share (June 2026) |
|---|---|
| Windows | ~62–63% (with measurement debate; see note) |
| macOS (all versions) | ~16–17% |
| Linux | ~3–4% |
| ChromeOS | ~1.2% |
| Source: StatCounter Global Stats, June 2026; via Windows Latest analysis of measurement methodology |
Measurement note: StatCounter’s June 2026 raw report initially showed Windows at 56.55%, but Windows Latest and other technical analysts noted this figure was distorted by an 18.75% “Unknown” category driven by privacy-masking tools misclassifying Windows traffic. After excluding or redistributing the Unknown category, Windows’ adjusted share sits closer to 62–63%, consistent with April 2026 StatCounter data showing ~79% (which itself excluded the anomalous Unknown spike). Axis Intelligence Research presents both figures: the unadjusted StatCounter June 2026 figure (56.55%, now corrected by StatCounter) and the context-adjusted range (62–63%) for accurate comparison.
Within Windows devices, Windows 11 now accounts for 69.9% of worldwide desktop Windows share (StatCounter, June 2026), with Windows 10 at 28.2% — significant because Windows 10 exited mainstream support on October 14, 2025. On the gaming-focused Steam platform, Windows holds 96.61% of surveyed devices (Steam Hardware Survey, February 2026), reflecting PC gamers’ near-universal dependence on Windows for game compatibility.
Microsoft 365 and Productivity Statistics
Microsoft 365 is the company’s largest single product franchise by seat count and a key driver of Productivity & Business Processes revenue, which reached $35.0 billion in Q3 FY2026 (+17% YoY).
Key metrics from Q3 FY2026 and Q2 FY2026 disclosures:
| Metric | Value | As-of Date | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Microsoft 365 Commercial cloud revenue YoY growth | +19% | Q3 FY2026 | Microsoft Q3 FY2026 press release |
| Microsoft 365 Commercial seats | ~450M | Q2 FY2026 (Jan 2026) | Microsoft Q2 FY2026 earnings |
| Microsoft 365 Commercial seat growth YoY | +6% | Q3 FY2026 | Microsoft Q3 FY2026 IR (segment performance) |
| Microsoft 365 Consumer cloud revenue YoY growth | +33% | Q3 FY2026 | Microsoft Q3 FY2026 press release |
| Microsoft 365 Consumer subscribers (cloud) | ~89M | Q2 FY2026 estimate | Public disclosure and investor commentary |
| Dynamics 365 revenue YoY growth | +22% | Q3 FY2026 | Microsoft Q3 FY2026 press release |
| LinkedIn revenue YoY growth | +12% | Q3 FY2026 | Microsoft Q3 FY2026 press release |
| Source: Microsoft Q3 FY2026 Earnings Press Release and segment performance pages, April 29, 2026 |
The 6% Microsoft 365 Commercial seat growth against 19% Microsoft 365 Commercial cloud revenue growth is the revenue-per-user expansion story: enterprises are not just adding seats, they’re buying up to E5 licenses and layering Copilot add-ons. The per-user revenue tailwind is what drove Microsoft 365 Commercial cloud revenue to grow at three times the rate of seat additions.
Microsoft Capital Expenditure and AI Infrastructure
Microsoft guided to approximately $190 billion in capital expenditures for calendar year 2026 — a figure disclosed during the Q3 FY2026 earnings call and reported by CNBC on April 29, 2026. This includes approximately $25 billion attributed to higher memory and component pricing. Q4 FY2026 capex alone is guided above $40 billion.
For the nine months ended March 31, 2026, Microsoft spent $80.1 billion on property and equipment additions per the Q3 FY2026 income statement, compared with $47.5 billion for the same period in the prior year — a 69% year-over-year increase in capital deployment.
The $190 billion annual capex figure implies that Microsoft is investing at approximately 57% of its FY2025 total revenue into physical and digital AI infrastructure in a single calendar year. This is not sustainable indefinitely at that ratio; the question the numbers pose is whether Azure consumption growth can absorb the capacity being built before the depreciation wave hits operating margins. CFO Amy Hood has consistently characterized this as a “demand-exceeds-supply” situation rather than a speculative build.
Market Capitalization and Shareholder Returns
As of July 25, 2026, Microsoft’s market capitalization was approximately $2.83–2.85 trillion, per data from Capital.com and Companiesmarketcap.com. At this valuation, Microsoft ranks as approximately the fourth-largest publicly traded company globally by market cap — a decline from its peak above $3.8 trillion in November 2025, reflecting investor concerns about the $190 billion capex guidance and free cash flow compression.
Microsoft returned $10.2 billion to shareholders in Q3 FY2026 through dividends and share repurchases, per the Q3 FY2026 earnings press release. The company carries $78.3 billion in cash and short-term investments on its balance sheet as of March 31, 2026.
Xbox and Gaming Statistics
Gaming remains the smallest and most challenged segment within More Personal Computing. Q3 FY2026 gaming revenue fell 7% year-over-year:
| Gaming Metric | Q3 FY2026 Result | YoY Change | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Xbox content and services revenue | N/A (included in $13.2B segment) | –5% | Microsoft Q3 FY2026 segment performance |
| Xbox hardware revenue | N/A (included in $13.2B segment) | –33% | Microsoft Q3 FY2026 segment performance |
| Game Pass subscribers | 34M–40M (range from Feb 2024 floor to Q1 2026 estimates) | N/A | Microsoft prior disclosures |
| Source: Microsoft Q3 FY2026 More Personal Computing Segment Performance, April 29, 2026 |
The hardware decline reflects the Xbox Series X/S console cycle aging ahead of the expected Xbox Series X25 launch. CFO Amy Hood guided Q4 FY2026 content and services to decline in the “low-teens” year-over-year — not a recovery signal. More detailed Xbox statistics, including the Game Pass Revenue-per-Subscriber Estimate (GRPSE™), are published on the Axis Intelligence Research Xbox Statistics page.
LinkedIn Statistics
LinkedIn revenue reached $4.832 billion in Q3 FY2026 (+12% YoY), with growth across all lines of business — Talent Solutions, Marketing Solutions, Premium Subscriptions, and Sales Solutions — per Microsoft’s Q3 FY2026 press release. LinkedIn’s agentic AI products in Talent Solutions surpassed a $450 million annualized revenue run rate, per Satya Nadella’s Q3 FY2026 earnings commentary. Full LinkedIn statistics, including the Axis Intelligence Research LinkedIn Revenue Efficiency Index (LREI™), are available on the Axis Intelligence Research LinkedIn Statistics page.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Microsoft’s annual revenue in 2026?
Microsoft’s most recently completed fiscal year (FY2025, ended June 30, 2025) produced $281.7 billion in total revenue. The nine months ended March 31, 2026 generated $241.8 billion, putting the company on track to exceed $320 billion for FY2026 if Q4 continues the trajectory of the prior three quarters.
How much does Microsoft Cloud revenue generate?
Microsoft Cloud revenue was $54.5 billion in Q3 FY2026, up 29% year-over-year, per Microsoft’s earnings press release. Annualized, this implies a $218 billion Microsoft Cloud run rate. Microsoft Cloud is a composite figure that includes Azure, Microsoft 365 Commercial Cloud, Dynamics 365, LinkedIn, and other cloud services — it is not synonymous with Azure alone.
How fast is Azure growing?
Azure and other cloud services revenue grew 40% year-over-year in Q3 FY2026 (39% in constant currency), per Microsoft’s Q3 FY2026 earnings press release. Azure has maintained approximately 39–40% constant-currency growth across five consecutive quarters. Synergy Research Group’s Q1 2026 hyperscaler data estimates Azure holds approximately 24% of global cloud infrastructure spending.
How many paid Microsoft 365 Copilot seats are there?
Over 20 million paid enterprise seats, as disclosed by Microsoft during its Q3 FY2026 earnings call on April 29, 2026. This figure is up from 15 million in January 2026. Microsoft reports approximately 450 million total Microsoft 365 commercial seats, meaning paid Copilot penetration sits at roughly 4.4% of the commercial base.
What is Microsoft’s AI revenue?
Microsoft’s AI business surpassed a $37 billion annual revenue run rate in Q3 FY2026, growing 123% year-over-year, per CEO Satya Nadella’s statement on the April 29, 2026 earnings call.
