Note: After canceling, you'll retain access to LinkedIn Premium features until the end of your current billing period. Your LinkedIn profile, connections, and activity will remain accessible, but you'll lose access to Premium features after your subscription expires.

Step 1: Sign in to Your LinkedIn Account

Go to www.linkedin.com and sign in with your LinkedIn account credentials.

Step 2: Access Settings & Privacy

Click on your profile picture in the top right corner, then select "Settings & Privacy" from the dropdown menu.

Step 3: Go to Subscriptions & Payments

In the Settings & Privacy page, click on "Subscriptions & Payments" in the left sidebar under the "Account" section.

Step 4: Find Premium Subscription

Locate your "Premium" subscription. You'll see your current plan (Premium Career, Premium Business, etc.) and next billing date.

Step 5: Manage Premium Account

Click "Manage Premium account" or "Manage subscription". This will open the Premium management page.

Step 6: Cancel Subscription

Click "Cancel subscription" or "Cancel Premium". LinkedIn will show you information about when your Premium access will end and what features you'll lose.

Step 7: Confirm Cancellation

Review the cancellation details carefully. LinkedIn may offer incentives to stay. If you want to proceed, click "Confirm cancellation" or "Cancel subscription" to finalize. You'll receive a confirmation email.

Troubleshooting

I can't find the Cancel button

  • Make sure you're signed in to the correct LinkedIn account
  • Try accessing the premium settings directly: www.linkedin.com/psettings/premium
  • Look for "Subscriptions & Payments" in Settings & Privacy, not in general settings
  • Clear your browser cache and cookies, then try again

I subscribed through a third party

If you subscribed through Apple App Store or Google Play, you'll need to cancel through that platform's subscription management system:

  • Apple: Settings > [Your Name] > Subscriptions > LinkedIn
  • Google Play: Google Play Store > Menu > Subscriptions > LinkedIn

I want to pause instead of cancel

LinkedIn Premium doesn't offer a pause option. However, you can cancel and reactivate anytime without losing your profile or connections.

I'm being charged after cancellation

  • Check your email for the cancellation confirmation
  • Verify the cancellation date matches the end of your billing period
  • Make sure you clicked "Cancel subscription" and confirmed
  • Contact LinkedIn Support if charges continue after the cancellation date

What happens to my LinkedIn Learning access?

If your Premium subscription includes LinkedIn Learning, you'll lose access to Learning courses when your Premium subscription expires. Make sure to complete or save any courses you're interested in before canceling.

What happens to my InMail credits?

Unused InMail credits will be lost when your subscription expires. Make sure to use any remaining InMail credits before canceling if needed.
