How to cancel LinkedIn Premium

A quick, up-to-date guide to cancelling LinkedIn Premium — and keeping proof that you did, in case you're charged anyway.

Before you click cancel: the moment you cancel is exactly when proof matters. CancelProof records your cancellation — the pages, the clicks, the confirmation — so if LinkedIn Premium bills you after you cancel, you have a refund pack ready. Get notified at launch

Cancel LinkedIn Premium in 6 steps

  1. Sign in to LinkedIn.com from a desktop browser, then click your profile photo (the Me icon) in the top-right corner.
  2. Select Settings & Privacy, then open the Account preferences tab.
  3. Scroll to Subscriptions & payments and click Manage next to your Premium subscription.
  4. Under your plan details, click Cancel subscription (it may read Cancel Premium).
  5. Choose a reason if prompted, decline any retention offers, then click Continue to cancel and confirm.
  6. Save or screenshot the on-screen confirmation and the cancellation email LinkedIn sends you as proof.

What happens after you cancel

Your Premium features stay active until the end of the current billing cycle, so you keep access to InMail, who-viewed-your-profile, courses and other perks until that date. LinkedIn does not typically issue prorated refunds for the remaining time, and your account simply reverts to a free Basic account when the paid period ends. Any unused InMail credits and Premium-only data are lost once the subscription lapses.

Subscribed through Apple, Google, or another provider?

These steps only work if you subscribed directly through LinkedIn. If you signed up through the Apple App Store (iTunes) or Google Play, LinkedIn cannot cancel it for you - you must cancel through that platform. On iPhone/iPad go to Settings > [your name] > Subscriptions, tap LinkedIn and choose Cancel Subscription; on Android open the Google Play Store > Subscriptions, select LinkedIn Premium and tap Cancel.

Charged after cancelling LinkedIn Premium?

It happens more than it should. If a charge lands after you cancelled, here's how to get your money back from LinkedIn Premium — and why documented proof is what makes the difference.

Frequently asked questions

Will LinkedIn Premium charge me after I cancel?
It shouldn't. After you cancel, LinkedIn Premium keeps your access until the end of the billing period you've already paid for, then stops billing. If a charge still appears, see our guide on being charged after cancelling LinkedIn Premium.
Does cancelling LinkedIn Premium delete my account?
No. Cancelling stops future billing but usually keeps your account so you can return later. Deleting your account is a separate action in LinkedIn Premium's settings.
How do I know my LinkedIn Premium cancellation worked?
Look for a cancellation confirmation email from LinkedIn Premium and check that your account shows the plan ending. Keeping that confirmation — an email or a screenshot — is your proof if there's ever a dispute.

Cancelling something? Keep the proof.

CancelProof records your cancellation automatically — so if you're charged anyway, you're covered.
