A *tenant* is an account for an organization that has its data stored separately from that of other organizations but which is accessed through a shared service. As you plan for and manage your Azure subscriptions, understand the relationship between billing and your tenant account or accounts.

Every contract is associated with a price sheet specific to a customer. This association determines the individual customer prices in the agreed billing currency. In an MCA, the default associated price sheet equals the Azure retail price list in US currency (USD). You can access the price sheet in the Azure portal.

### Billing roles

With both EA and MCA contracts, you can manage certain aspects of the contract with *billing roles*. There's a key difference between billing roles for an EA account and those for an MCA account. In an EA account, you can associate any valid work, school, or Microsoft account to EA billing roles. In an MCA account, you can associate only work accounts of an approved tenant to billing roles.

Every subscription can only have one billing relationship to one contract. This billing relationship can be moved to a different contract based on certain conditions (for example, in EA/MCA transition scenarios or M&A scenarios). Every contract can manage 5,000 subscriptions by default.

5858
The billing relationship determines the prices for the consumed resources within the subscription. If you have a subscription that is associated with a contract that uses Azure retail prices, you pay the retail price. If the associated contract has customer specific prices (for example, by signing a MACC with applicable discounts), the resources within this subscription are charged at these prices.
