See the related cost guide if you want the explainer rather than the full matrix.

What it costs for a team your size
Find your team size, read across, and that is the monthly price. There is no separate per-user charge, and no headcount reconciliation inside the band. The band price is the price.

| 1 to 10 users | $750 | $1,200 | $3,600 | $5,800 |

Priced at August 2026, NZD excluding GST. This table is the 36 month price. The first 90 days are money back, no reason required. There is a fee-free break at nine months on 90 days notice. On Complete IT, hardware and Microsoft licences run to the end of the 36 month term even if the service stops.
A team smaller than ten is priced as ten.
Above 200 users, the next step is a Co-Managed IT conversation. We do not publish a band price past 200, and this page does not invent one.
Some 1 to 10 offers also have a published 12 month and 24 month price on the current site. This table does not rebuild that term matrix, and it does not invent 12 or 24 month figures for any other size. The 36 month price is the price.

How to read a managed IT quote fairly
Industry quotes often arrive as a per-user headline. That is a habit of the market. It is not how OxygenIT prices. A band set by team size is not comparable to a naked per-user number, and we do not charge per user or per seat.
A per-user quote usually leaves at least some of this out:
- Security stack depth
- Onboarding and documentation
- After-hours cover
- Onsite attendance and travel
- Microsoft licences and hardware
- Project work outside the monthly scope
- Exit terms, notice, and who owns the documentation
Ask any provider for the same four band rows in writing, and see what comes back. How to read the quote is on the managed IT cost guide. A longer test is on how to choose an MSP, and the break-fix comparison is on managed IT vs break-fix.
Hours, after-hours, and who we are not for
Business hours are 8.00am to 5.00pm, Monday to Friday, excluding New Zealand public holidays. A team in the United Kingdom covers part of the evening. Overnight is unmanned. Early morning is uncovered.
After-hours support is a paid add-on, from $600 a month for a team of up to ten. Response targets, including what response actually means, are on the published SLA.
OxygenIT is built for New Zealand businesses of about 20 to 200 staff, with a New Zealand team in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch. A team smaller than ten is priced as ten. Residential support is not a fit.
Frequently asked questions
How much does managed IT support cost in New Zealand?
Managed IT support in New Zealand starts at $750 a month for a team of up to ten on Remote IT Support, excluding GST. OxygenIT publishes four bands priced by team size. For a team of up to ten the 36 month prices are $750 on Remote IT Support, $1,200 on Managed IT Support, $3,600 on Fully Managed IT, and $5,800 on Complete IT. The full table on this page runs to 200 users. Priced at August 2026. How to read a quote is on the managed IT cost guide, and every published price is on the pricing hub.
What is the minimum spend for managed IT services?
We price a team smaller than ten as ten, so the minimum spend is $750 a month on Remote IT Support, excluding GST. That is why the first row reads 1 to 10 users. Fully Managed IT and Complete IT start higher, at $3,600 and $5,800, because the virtual CIO is a fixed cost that does not shrink with the team. The rows are in the band price tables.
Is onsite support included, or is it charged separately?
On Remote IT Support, onsite is not included. It is $180 an hour, half hour minimum, plus travel. On Managed IT Support and every band above it, onsite is included at one hour per ten users per month. Those hours bank for six months and can be spent on project work. Past the banked balance, overage is $180 an hour. What the service covers day to day is on IT support services.
Are Microsoft 365 licences included in the price?
Not on Remote IT Support, Managed IT Support or Fully Managed IT. On those bands Microsoft 365 licences are billed separately. Microsoft 365 Business Premium is included on Complete IT. Hardware is included on Complete IT only. SMB1001 pricing is a separate product, from $525 a month fully managed, and it is not inside these bands.
What is the difference between Managed IT Support and Fully Managed IT?
Managed IT Support is the operational band: remote helpdesk, the onsite allowance, monitoring, patching, a named engineer, hardware lifecycle planning and a quarterly report. Fully Managed IT adds a virtual CIO who owns the roadmap, the IT budget and board-level reporting. The virtual CIO is a fixed cost, which is why Fully Managed IT starts at $3,600 a month for a team of up to ten rather than $1,200. A longer selection test is on how to choose an MSP.
Is there a setup or onboarding fee?
Yes. Onboarding is one month of the band fee on Remote IT Support and Managed IT Support, and two months of the band fee on Fully Managed IT and Complete IT. For a team of ten that is $750, $1,200, $7,200 and $11,600, excluding GST. The timeframe matches the fee: about one month on the first two bands and about two months on the top two. How those fees sit in a quote is on the managed IT cost guide.
What do you charge for IT project work?
Project work starts at $1,440 a day and can reach $3,000 a day where third party specialists are involved, excluding GST. On Managed IT Support and above, banked onsite hours are used first. Published prices sit on the pricing hub.
Does the price go up during the contract?
The band price is fixed for the term you sign. On Complete IT the whole fee is locked for the 36 months, including the Microsoft licence component, so a Microsoft price rise during the term is our cost. On the other bands, licences are billed separately and move with Microsoft pricing. The 36 month cells are in the band price tables.
What happens if our user count changes?
Your price follows the band your user count sits in. Hiring inside a band changes nothing. Cross into the next band and you move to the published price for that band from the following quarter, and the same applies in reverse, down to the ten user floor. Complete IT carries a committed minimum user count that can rise but cannot fall during the 36 months, because the hardware is financed. There is no separate per-user charge and no headcount reconciliation inside a band.
How do we get out if it is not working?
In the first 90 days you get your money back for any reason. You do not need to give a reason. After that there is a fee-free break at nine months on 90 days notice, on every band. On Complete IT the service can stop, and the hardware and the Microsoft licences still run to the end of the 36 month term. We would rather earn month ten than enforce it. Response targets are on the published SLA. To talk it through, book a 15 minute scoping call.
