See how much GitHub Copilot costs for your engineering team
Current organization pricing (verified August 18, 2026): Business is $19/user/month with 1,900 pooled AI credits per seat. Enterprise is $39/user/month with 3,900 pooled credits per seat and requires GitHub Enterprise Cloud. Usage above the pool is $0.01/credit. Paid-plan code completions and next edits do not consume credits; chat, CLI, agents, Spaces and Spark can. Code review can also add GitHub Actions charges. Existing customers may temporarily receive higher promotional pools through August 31, 2026; this calculator uses the standard ongoing allowances.
