Cancel LinkedIn Premium on the Website
Sign in to LinkedIn
Go to linkedin.com in your desktop web browser and sign in with the account that holds the Premium subscription. You must use the desktop website—the cancellation option is not always available on the mobile site.
Open your Premium settings
Click the Me icon (your profile picture) at the top of the LinkedIn homepage. From the dropdown menu, select Premium features. This takes you to your Premium account overview page. You can also navigate directly to linkedin.com/psettings/account.
Click Manage Subscription
On the Premium account page, look for the Subscription details dropdown near the upper right, next to your Premium Account and Features section. Click it and select Manage subscription from the dropdown options.
Cancel your subscription
Click Cancel subscription and follow the on-screen prompts. LinkedIn may offer you a discount or suggest downgrading to a different plan. If you want to proceed with cancellation, continue past these offers and confirm. You will see a confirmation message and receive a confirmation email.

What Happens After You Cancel LinkedIn Premium?
Your LinkedIn profile stays intact
Canceling Premium does not delete your profile, connections, recommendations, or messages. Your profile remains fully visible and functional on the free Basic tier.
You lose InMail credits and advanced features
Any unused InMail credits are forfeited when your billing period ends. You also lose access to advanced search filters, detailed Who Viewed Your Profile insights, LinkedIn Learning courses, and applicant insights on job postings.
Premium access continues until the billing cycle ends
After canceling, you still have access to all Premium features until your current billing period expires. Cancel at least one day before your next billing date to avoid being charged for another cycle.
Sales Navigator data may be affected
If you are on a Sales Navigator plan, your saved leads, lists, and notes are retained for a limited time but become inaccessible once your subscription ends. Resubscribing within the retention window can restore your data.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will I get a refund if I cancel LinkedIn Premium?
LinkedIn generally does not offer prorated refunds for partial billing periods. Your Premium features stay active until the end of your current cycle. In some cases, if you subscribed recently and have not used any Premium features, you may be able to contact LinkedIn support to request a courtesy refund.
What is the difference between canceling and downgrading?
Canceling ends your Premium subscription entirely and reverts you to the free Basic account. Downgrading means switching to a cheaper Premium tier (for example, from Business to Career). During the cancellation flow, LinkedIn may offer you a downgrade option as an alternative.
Can I cancel LinkedIn Premium from the mobile app?
If you subscribed directly through LinkedIn, you can cancel from the LinkedIn Android app by going to your Premium features and tapping Manage subscription. For iOS users who subscribed via the App Store, you need to cancel through iPhone Settings > Subscriptions.
Will I lose my LinkedIn profile if I cancel Premium?
No. Your profile, connections, messages, endorsements, and recommendations all remain. You only lose access to Premium features like InMail credits, advanced search filters, Who Viewed Your Profile details, and LinkedIn Learning.
Can I resubscribe to LinkedIn Premium after canceling?
Yes. You can resubscribe to any LinkedIn Premium plan at any time by visiting the Premium subscription page. LinkedIn sometimes offers returning members promotional pricing or a free trial if enough time has passed since your last subscription.
