Short answer: in 2026, most South Florida small businesses pay roughly $75 to $250 per user per month for managed IT, depending on how much security and compliance work is included. Compliance-heavy offices (medical, legal, financial) can run higher. On top of that come Microsoft 365 licenses, one-time onboarding and project work.
The ranges below come from pricing that South Florida and Florida providers have published themselves, so you can check every number. At the end we show The Techie Guy's own published prices, so you can compare like for like.

What a real office pays: three examples
Using the ranges above, here is what the monthly IT fee alone (before licenses and projects) looks like at different sizes:
| Office | Basic tier | Security-focused tier |
|---|---|---|
| 5 users | $325–$625 / month | $550–$1,250 / month |
| 10 users | $650–$1,250 / month | $1,100–$2,500 / month |
| 15 users | $975–$1,875 / month | $1,650–$3,750 / month |
As a cross-check, PC Network Solutions estimates a typical 15-person professional office at "somewhere between $2,000 and $3,500 per month" for security-focused managed IT.
Costs that are usually extra
- Microsoft 365 licenses. Usually passed through on top of the IT fee; Simply IT estimates about $27 per user per month.
- Onboarding. Simply IT puts typical onboarding fees at $1,500–$5,000 for 5–25 user businesses. It covers documenting your environment and deploying the provider's tools.
- Projects. New network installs, office moves and server replacements. iFeeltech lists $3,500–$8,000 for an installed 10–25 person office network and $1,500–$5,000 for a security assessment; Simply IT suggests small firms reserve $5,000–$25,000 a year for project work.
- After-hours work. Simply IT lists $150–$250 per hour for non-emergency after-hours work when it isn't in the plan.
- Hardware. Laptops, firewalls and switches are bought separately.
What drives your price up or down
- Security depth. Basic antivirus vs managed detection and response (EDR/MDR). iFeeltech lists managed detection and response alone at $40–$60 per user per month.
- Compliance. HIPAA or financial regulations add documentation, risk assessments and audit evidence.
- Support hours. Business hours only vs 24/7 coverage.
- On-site vs remote. Plans with included on-site visits cost more.
- Complexity. Servers, multiple locations, line-of-business software and older equipment all add work.
