Cancel LinkedIn Premium: 2026 Step-by-Step Guide
Cancelling LinkedIn Premium isn't always straightforward — it depends on how you're being billed. The process varies if you signed up directly through LinkedIn, through a mobile app store, or as part of a corporate account. This guide walks through every method.

LinkedIn Premium is often purchased through corporate accounts or bundled with recruiting tools. If you don't see a cancel option in your personal LinkedIn settings, your subscription may be managed by your employer or through a business account instead.

How to Cancel LinkedIn Premium Online
Follow these steps to cancel your LinkedIn Premium subscription. The process may vary slightly depending on your plan type or billing method.

Go to LinkedIn.com and sign in to your account using your email and password.
2. Access your Premium settings
Click your profile picture in the top right corner, then select Access My Premium from the dropdown menu.
3. Navigate to manage subscription
On the Premium page, look for Manage Premium account or Change or cancel Premium link in the billing section.

LinkedIn Premium-specific things to know
LinkedIn Premium subscriptions can work differently depending on your plan or how you signed up. These tips cover common edge cases.
Corporate accounts work differently
If your Premium is provided by your employer, you can't cancel it yourself. Contact your HR department or IT administrator instead.
InMail credits don't roll over
Unused InMail credits expire when you cancel, so use them before your subscription ends if you want to get full value.
LinkedIn Learning access ends immediately
Unlike other Premium features, your LinkedIn Learning course access may end right when you cancel, not at the end of your billing period.
Before you cancel, keep this in mind
1. Check who's actually billing you
If you signed up through your company or a recruiter account, the cancel button won't be in your personal LinkedIn settings. You'll need to contact the account administrator.
2. Premium features continue until billing ends
You'll keep your Premium features until your current billing period expires, so you don't need to time your cancellation perfectly.
3. Free trial cancellations are immediate
Unlike paid subscriptions, if you're still in a free trial period, cancelling will end your Premium access immediately rather than at period end.
Other options to consider
If cost is the issue, you might be able to downgrade to a cheaper Premium tier instead of cancelling completely.
Downgrade to a cheaper Premium plan
LinkedIn offers multiple Premium tiers at different price points, including:
- Premium Career - Basic job search tools
- Premium Business - For sales and networking
- Sales Navigator - Advanced lead generation
- Recruiter Lite - Basic recruiting tools
Switch Your Billing Cycle
LinkedIn Premium offers both monthly and annual billing options, with annual plans typically offering 2-3 months free. Save up to 20% with annual billing.
Negotiate a Deal
LinkedIn sometimes offers retention discounts or free months if you contact support before cancelling, especially for longer-term subscribers.
Alternative ways to cancel LinkedIn Premium
If you can't cancel through your LinkedIn account, you may need to go through app stores or contact support. The right option depends on how you're being billed.
Apple App Store
iPhone and iPad users who subscribed through the LinkedIn app must cancel through their Apple ID subscription settings.
"Settings > Click [Your Name] > Subscriptions"
Google Play Store
If you subscribed through the LinkedIn Android app, you'll need to cancel through Google Play Store subscriptions.
Use the Direct link Below or

You can request cancellation by emailing LinkedIn customer support, though using the website is typically faster.
