Your WordPress.com plan and other purchases can be paid for at different intervals. This guide explains how to switch all WordPress.com plans from monthly to annual or multi-year payments and vice versa.
Pay for your WordPress.com plan in one-year, two-year, and three-year installments. You can also pay monthly. However, the price per month is higher than if you were to pay for a year upfront. Most people expect to run their site for at least a year. So paying annually is cheaper in the long run.
You can pay for Professional Email or Google Workspace on a monthly or annual schedule.
Domain fees are per year and can’t be paid monthly.
WordPress.com offers monthly, annual and multi-year plans. To switch any plan’s payment frequency to a longer term (monthly to annual, or annual to multi-year), follow these steps:
- Hover over your name at the top right corner of any screen while logged into WordPress.com.
- Select the “My WordPress.com account” button:
- On the side, select the Billing menu option.
- Select the “Active Upgrades” option:
- Select your plan.
- Click the Upgrade button.
- On the next screen, select the payment term you want to upgrade to from the drop-down menu (yearly, two years, or three years).
- Continue to checkout to complete your purchase.
You will receive a prorated upgrade credit for the unused portion of your existing plan. The credit is calculated based on the remaining time, and you will see the credit applied to the payment due on the checkout page.

The monthly plan cost is higher than if you were to pay for one year upfront. Most people expect to own their website for at least a year, so paying annually is economical for you.
To change any plan from a two- or three-year subscription to a one-year or even monthly subscription, contact us for help. We can help change your multi-year plan subscription to a shorter payment frequency.
