Can I cancel LinkedIn Premium at any time?

Yes, you can cancel your subscription at any time. LinkedIn does not charge early cancellation fees, though it does not provide pro-rated refunds for the remainder of a billing month.

Will I lose my data if I cancel?

No. Your profile information, connections, messages, and saved posts remain intact. You will only lose access to Premium features like salary insights, unlimited profile viewing, and LinkedIn Learning credits.

How do I get a refund?

LinkedIn generally does not offer refunds for partial months. However, LinkedIn officially allows a full refund within a 7-day reflection window from the date of the charge, provided you have not used any premium features (such as sending InMails or starting courses) since the renewal. In addition, residents of the EU and UK possess statutory withdrawal windows allowing full refunds within 14 days of activation.

Cancellation Assistant

Go to Cancel Page

On the Web / Desktop

Click the 'Me' icon at the top of your LinkedIn homepage.

Select 'Access My Premium' from the dropdown menu.

On the right-hand rail of the Premium settings page, click the 'Manage Premium account' link.

Under the 'Account Type' section, click the 'Cancel subscription' button.

Click 'Continue to cancel' and follow the remaining prompts to confirm your cancellation until you see a confirmation message.

Advisory: Cancel Where You Subscribed

You can only stop billing on the platform you originally paid on. If you subscribed inside an app, cancelling on the website won't stop the charge — and vice versa. Watch out for retention “dark patterns” too: keep going until you see a clear “Cancellation Confirmed” screen and a confirmation email.

Aftermath

What Happens After Cancelling LinkedIn Premium?

Once you cancel, your LinkedIn Premium subscription will remain active until the end of your current billing cycle. You will continue to have full access to Premium features, including LinkedIn Learning, advanced search filters, and profile viewers, until your expiration date. After that date, your account will revert to the free version of LinkedIn. You will not lose your connections, profile data, or messaging history, though you will lose access to Premium-exclusive metrics.

Alternative Solutions

LinkedIn Premium Alternatives Worth Considering

If you are cancelling to reduce costs, consider utilizing LinkedIn's free features, which sufficiently cover networking and job hunting for most users. If you require skill development, platforms like Coursera or Udemy offer individual course purchases that do not require monthly recurring fees. If you found Premium useful but too expensive, check periodically for LinkedIn's 'win-back' promotions, which often offer discounted rates if you have been inactive for a few months.

Pre-Cancellation Review

Before You Cancel — Things to Consider

Verify your billing date to ensure cancellation occurs before the next cycle to avoid a new $29.99 to $39.99 charge.
Download any existing LinkedIn Learning certificates of completion. While LinkedIn traditionally retains completed course history directly on your profile, backing up files ensures you don't lose direct access to verification links.
If you signed up via the iOS App Store or Google Play Store, you must cancel through those specific platform subscription managers rather than the LinkedIn website.
Ensure you have finished any pending InMail messages, as unused InMail credits do not persist after the subscription expires.
