Tally Price for Small Business in India 2026
For most small businesses, Tally costs about Rs 22,500 plus 18% GST (roughly Rs 26,550) for TallyPrime Silver, the single-user edition with the full feature set and one year of TSS included. TSS renews at about Rs 4,500 per year. A small business with one Tally user rarely needs more than this.
If you run a small business, a shop, a small trading firm or a solo practice, you want to know what Tally will really cost you, without overpaying for features you do not need. As a Tally 3 Star Certified Partner in Purnea, Bihar, we set up Tally for small businesses across the region, so here is the honest, complete picture of Tally pricing for a small business in 2026.
What a small business actually pays
| Item | Amount (approx.) |
|---|---|
| TallyPrime Silver licence | Rs 22,500 + GST (~Rs 26,550) |
| First year TSS | Included free |
| TSS from year two | Rs 4,500 + GST per year |
| Basic setup and GST configuration | One-time, varies |
For a typical small business that is the whole cost: a one-time Silver licence you own for life, plus a modest annual TSS. See the full price guide and the Silver price page for detail.
Why Silver is the right fit for most small businesses
Silver is the single-user edition with the complete TallyPrime feature set: GST billing with e-invoicing, inventory, banking and reports. For a small business where one person handles the accounts, that is exactly what is needed, at the lowest one-time cost. You are not missing any features by choosing Silver; you simply have one user at a time. If you later add staff who need Tally simultaneously, you upgrade to Gold for the difference.
What you get for the money
A small business on Tally gets GST-compliant billing, automatic tax calculation, inventory tracking, party-wise outstanding, and instant financial reports, all from one licence. Compared with manual books or spreadsheets that break and make GST filing painful, Tally pays for itself quickly in time saved and penalties avoided. It is one of the highest-return tools a small business can buy.
How to keep your Tally costs low
- Choose Silver if one user is enough; do not buy Gold you will not use.
- Keep TSS active to avoid compliance problems; it is cheap insurance.
- Skip customization unless a specific format or report genuinely saves you time.
- Add Tally on Cloud only if needed, for remote access or stronger backups; see Tally on Cloud.
A worked example
A small kirana shop in Purnea with one owner doing the billing needs GST bills, basic stock and daily reports. TallyPrime Silver at about Rs 26,550 with GST, with the first year of TSS free, covers everything. In year two the owner renews TSS for about Rs 5,310 with GST. Total ongoing cost is small, and the shop runs fully compliant accounts on software it owns outright. That is typical small-business Tally economics.
