Buy Microsoft Office for Mac – Buyer's Guide 2026

Buying Microsoft Office for Mac in 2026 is easier than many people think. Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook have been running smoothly on macOS for years. The difference from Windows isn’t in the files or features, but in which edition of Office you choose. On this page, you’ll find at a glance which versions work on your Mac, how much they cost, and how to install them.

Which version of Office works on a Mac?

Not every Office license is compatible with macOS. These are the versions that are officially supported by Microsoft on Mac and that you can order directly from us:

  • Office Home & Business 2024 (Windows + Mac) — one-time purchase, single license, works on both Mac and Windows. Includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook. Ideal for those who prefer a one-time payment over a subscription.
  • Microsoft 365 Personal — 1-year subscription for 1 user, works on up to 5 devices at the same time, including PCs, Macs, Chromebooks, smartphones, and tablets. Includes 1 TB of cloud storage.
  • Microsoft 365 Family — the same subscription, but for up to 6 users, and you can install it on up to 5 devices at a time per user, such as PCs, Macs, Chromebooks, smartphones, and tablets.
  • Office Home & Business 2021 for Mac — This product can be installed on one MacBook, iMac, or Mac Mini running one of the last three versions of macOS, and you can reinstall it on the same device if necessary.

macOS compatibility

Microsoft follows a simple rule: Office for Mac works on the three most recent versions of macOS. Specifically, as of May 2026, this means:

  • macOS Tahoe 
  • macOS Sequoia 
  • macOS Sonoma
