How to Cancel LinkedIn Premium (Pick Your Plan First)
LinkedIn bills seven separate Premium products. Canceling one does not touch the others. Find your plan in the table below and skip the parts that don't apply.
"Cancel LinkedIn Premium" hides a question: which Premium? LinkedIn sells seven independently-billed Premium products. Canceling Premium Career does nothing to a Sales Navigator line ($119.99/mo) or a standalone LinkedIn Learning line ($39.99/mo), both documented in LinkedIn's Premium FAQ.
Where do you pay? The statement merchant tells you: LINKEDIN (direct), APPLE.COM/BILL, GOOGLE *LinkedIn, or MICROSOFT (M365 bundle). Cancel where you pay.
Which product? Sign in at linkedin.com on desktop, click your profile photo, select Premium features. The plan name appears at the top. Match it to the table.

Prices from LinkedIn's Premium FAQ as of May 2026. Enterprise tiers are negotiated and may differ.
Premium Career ($29.99/mo)
The most common LinkedIn Premium subscription, aimed at job seekers. If you signed up during a job search that wrapped months ago, this is probably you.
Open linkedin.com on a desktop browser
Phone web doesn't cut it for purchases made via mobile web. The iPhone app has no cancel button for those.
Profile photo → Premium features → Manage subscription
This kicks you into the LinkedIn Admin Center, which is a separate UI. Don't be surprised.
Purchases → Active subscription → Cancel
Under Actions, click Cancel subscription. LinkedIn now shows the reason survey, the 50%-off-for-two-months retention offer (if you pick "too expensive"), and the Insights screen that lists how many InMails you've sent this period. None of those are blocking. Click through.
Click Confirm cancel
You keep Premium until the end of the current billing period. LinkedIn emails a confirmation. Unused InMail credits expire with the subscription, per the official cancel FAQ. Spend them this week if you've got any left.
The one-day rule. LinkedIn requires cancellation at least one calendar day before the next billing date. Cancel on the renewal date itself and you're charged for another cycle. If your renewal is tomorrow, do it tonight.
Premium Business ($59.99/mo) and All-in-One ($99.99/mo)
Cancel path is identical to Premium Career. But before you hit cancel, ask the question most Business users skip:
The downgrade trick
You can switch Premium Business down to Premium Career instead of canceling. Same Manage subscription page, look for Change plan. Annual savings: $360. You keep Premium status, InMail credits, search filters. You lose company-page insights and the extra InMails Business adds.
Desktop only, per LinkedIn's FAQ. The app won't surface it.
To cancel: Profile photo → Premium features → Manage subscription → Purchases → Cancel. Premium All-in-One uses the same flow. Cancellation runs to the end of the current billing period. No prorated refund on annual billing under standard policy (regional exceptions below).
App Store, Google Play, Microsoft: cancel where you paid
Apple App Store
iPhone Settings → tap your name → Subscriptions → LinkedIn → Cancel. LinkedIn cannot refund App Store purchases. Refund requests go to reportaproblem.apple.com.
Google Play
Play Store app → profile icon → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions → LinkedIn → Cancel. Play has a 48-hour self-serve refund window.
Mobile web (iOS Safari, not App Store)
If you bought Premium by signing up at linkedin.com inside Safari on your phone, the iPhone LinkedIn app gives you no cancel button. You must cancel on a desktop browser. This catches a lot of people.
Microsoft 365 bundle
If your LinkedIn Premium came as a Microsoft 365 perk: Microsoft 365 Admin Center → Billing → Your products → cancel from there. LinkedIn Support has no record of these subscriptions. The bundle promotion has ended; no new codes are being issued.
The refund language LinkedIn doesn't lead with
The 7-day refund window is effectively zero
LinkedIn's refund policy grants a 7-day refund, but only if you have not used any Premium feature. InMail, Who Viewed Your Profile, and applicant insights all load on the homepage. Touching any counts as "use." In practice the window applies only to people who subscribed by accident and never logged in.
Annual plans have no prorated refund under standard policy. Pay in February, cancel in May, you keep Premium until next February but the unused nine months are gone. See when annual plans are traps.
Regional exceptions worth knowing
- EU (all member states): 14-day Consumer Rights Directive withdrawal window. Full refund, no usage questions.
- Denmark & the Netherlands: One-month cancellation notice. LinkedIn refunds the remaining period.
- Germany: Same one-month notice, but it does not apply to the first year of an annual plan.
- SEPA Direct Debit: 8-week bank-side claim window, independent of LinkedIn's policy.
- Charged after a confirmed cancellation: LinkedIn refunds. Contact support with the cancel confirmation email.
Cross-plan gotchas (the ones that show up on your statement next month)
LinkedIn Learning is not Premium.
Standalone Learning is its own $39.99/mo or $239.88/yr line item. Cancel at linkedin.com/learning/settings/subscriptions. See our Learning cancel guide.
Sales Navigator survives a Premium cancel.
Premium and Sales Navigator bill independently. If you have both, cancel both separately.
Canceling a free trial costs you future trials.
Per LinkedIn's cancel FAQ, ending a trial early locks you out of another free trial for 12 months. Trials end immediately; paid subs run to period end.
Promotional pricing doesn't come back.
Cancel a grandfathered rate and you can't resubscribe at that price. Worth keeping a $4.99/mo legacy rate if you have one.
Active class action on auto-renewal disclosures.
A 2022 suit alleges LinkedIn failed to make legally required auto-renewal disclosures at sign-up. One plaintiff was charged monthly for two years. Documented at Top Class Actions; unresolved as of May 2026.
Questions people actually ask
Does canceling LinkedIn Premium also cancel LinkedIn Learning?
No. They are separate products with separate billing. Cancel Learning at linkedin.com/learning/settings/subscriptions. This is the single most common LinkedIn billing surprise, and the reason we wrote a separate guide for it.
Will LinkedIn refund my unused months on an annual plan?
Under standard policy, no. The 7-day window only applies if you have not used any Premium feature, which is hard to avoid. EU subscribers get a 14-day withdrawal window. Denmark, the Netherlands, and Germany can give one-month notice and receive a refund for the remaining period (Germany excludes the first year of an annual plan). Everywhere else, the unused months are gone.
Can I downgrade Premium Business to Premium Career instead of canceling?
Yes, on desktop only. Same Manage subscription page, look for Change plan. Saves $30 a month vs. cancelling, keeps Premium status and InMail credits. The mobile app does not show this option, which is why most people miss it.
I subscribed on my iPhone. Why can't I cancel in the LinkedIn app?
If you bought through the iOS App Store, cancel in Settings → your name → Subscriptions → LinkedIn. If you bought by visiting linkedin.com in Safari on your phone (mobile web, not App Store), you have to cancel on a desktop browser. The app gives no cancel button for mobile-web purchases.
What happens to unused InMail credits when I cancel?
They expire at the end of the current billing period. LinkedIn's help docs are explicit that credits "can't be credited back." Use them before the period ends, because the value disappears with the subscription.
I got Premium free through Microsoft 365. How do I cancel?
Microsoft handles it. Microsoft 365 Admin Center → Billing → Your products → cancel the LinkedIn Premium line. LinkedIn Support has no record of bundle subscriptions and cannot help.
LinkedIn isn't the only one running this playbook.
Multi-product billing, downgrade-instead-of-cancel prompts, "use it or lose it" credits. Half the apps on your card do some version of this. Subcut spots every recurring charge in about 60 seconds so you can decide ahead of the renewal, not inside a cancel flow.
