How Do I Upgrade PlayStation Plus Essential to PlayStation Plus Extra or Deluxe / Premium?

The cost to upgrade depends on how long you have left in your subscription. For example, if you’ve just subscribed to PlayStation Plus Essential for £49.99 (per year) and want to upgrade to PlayStation Plus Extra, you will pay £34 to upgrade for the year.
