How to Cancel LinkedIn Premium: The Direct Answer
To cancel LinkedIn Premium, go to Settings & Privacy > Subscriptions > Manage Premium account, select "Cancel subscription," and confirm. You keep all Premium features until the end of your current billing period, after which your account returns to the free version. Cancel before your renewal date to avoid the next charge.
Step-by-Step: Cancelling on Desktop
- Click your profile icon and select Settings & Privacy
- Go to the Subscriptions section
- Click Manage Premium account
- Select Cancel subscription
- Follow the prompts and confirm cancellation
Cancelling on the Mobile App
In the LinkedIn app, tap your profile photo, go to Settings > Subscriptions > Manage Premium account, and tap Cancel. The steps mirror the desktop process.
What Happens After You Cancel
Your Premium features remain active until the end of the current billing period — you do not lose them immediately. After that date, your account reverts to free LinkedIn. Your profile, connections, messages, and any LinkedIn Learning certificates you earned all remain intact.
About Refunds
LinkedIn generally does not refund partial billing periods, so the smart move is to cancel just before renewal. You still get the full period you paid for, then billing simply stops.
When to Cancel vs Keep
Most job seekers subscribe for one to three months during an active search and cancel when they land. If you are between searches, cancelling saves money; you can always resubscribe later. See the product below if you decide to restart Premium at a competitive price.
The Bottom Line
Cancelling LinkedIn Premium takes under a minute: Settings > Subscriptions > Manage Premium account > Cancel. You keep features until the period ends, then billing stops with no penalty.
