As of October 2026, LinkedIn Premium Career starts at US$39.99 a month or US$239.88 a year per licence. In the UK it starts at £29.99 a month, in Australia A$54.99 and in Canada C$49.99.
LinkedIn sells several Premium plans, but the one most people mean when they search for the cost of Premium is Career, the plan for job seekers. LinkedIn publishes its starting prices on the Premium Career page, including country prices and a Duo option for two people. Here's what it costs and what you get.
LinkedIn Premium Career cost by country
| Currency | Monthly | Annual |
|---|---|---|
| US dollars | US$39.99 | US$239.88 |
| British pounds | £29.99 | £179.88 |
| Australian dollars | A$54.99 | A$323.88 |
| Canadian dollars | C$49.99 | C$299.88 |
| Euros | 29,98 euros | 179,88 euros |
LinkedIn describes the annual price as a big saving over monthly billing, and on these numbers it's the cheapest way to hold Premium all year. Prices are per licence and LinkedIn notes they're estimates that may exclude VAT, GST and promotional discounts, may change, and can vary slightly across device types.
LinkedIn Premium Career Duo
Duo is an option where two people each get their own Premium Career licence under one subscription. LinkedIn lists these per licence starting prices:
| Currency | Monthly | Annual |
|---|---|---|
| US dollars | US$59.98 | US$359.88 |
| British pounds | £44.98 | £269.81 |
| Australian dollars | A$82.48 | A$485.80 |
| Canadian dollars | C$74.99 | C$449.80 |
If two people in your household are job hunting at the same time, Duo is the plan to price against two separate Career subscriptions.
What LinkedIn Premium Career includes
- 5 InMail credits a month to message people outside your network, including hiring managers
- Who's viewed your profile, with viewers, trends and insights for the past 365 days, plus private browsing
- Job match insights and advanced job search filters
- The option to apply to jobs where you're a top applicant and mark top choice roles
- Tools to refine your profile and your messages to prospects
- Access to more than 25,000 LinkedIn Learning courses
Who Premium Career is for
LinkedIn positions Career for job seekers and people pushing for their next move: discovering relevant jobs, applying with more confidence, getting insights other applicants don't see, and building credibility so you stand out. It also bundles LinkedIn Learning, so it doubles as a training subscription while you search. If you're hiring, selling or recruiting, LinkedIn sells other Premium and Sales Navigator plans built for those jobs, and their prices aren't on the Career page.
The Duo option is aimed at partners, family members or friends who are job hunting at the same time. Each person gets full individual access to the Career features, at a lower combined price than two single licences, according to LinkedIn.
Monthly or annual billing?
LinkedIn says annual billing works out at half the cost of paying monthly. That makes annual the better deal if you'll hold Premium for a long stretch, for example while you build a career change over a year. For a short, focused job search, monthly is still the safer choice, because you can stop paying as soon as you've accepted an offer.
Why the price you see may differ
Here's the detail most guides skip. LinkedIn says its listed prices are starting prices, that slight variations may occur across device types, and that the Try Career for free button on its page shows actual prices for your account, along with whether you qualify for a free trial. In practice that means the app store price on your phone can differ from the web price, so if you're paying monthly, compare both before you subscribe.
Is the InMail allowance enough?
Five InMail credits a month sounds small, and it's small if you spray messages at every recruiter. Used well, it's plenty: pick the five hiring managers for roles where you're a strong match, write each message for that person, and follow up through normal connection requests. The profile viewer list is the other quiet win, because it shows which companies are already looking at you.
How to pay less for LinkedIn Premium
- Check whether your account qualifies for a free trial using the Try Career for free button.
- If you'll keep Premium for most of a year, choose annual billing rather than monthly.
- Compare the web price with the in-app price on your phone.
- If two of you are job hunting, price Duo against two single licences.
- Cancel when you land the job: you don't need Premium once the search is over.
If your goal is selling rather than job hunting, Premium Career isn't the right tool. See LinkedIn Premium vs Sales Navigator for the difference, and here's how to cancel LinkedIn Premium when you're done with it.
My verdict
At US$39.99 a month, LinkedIn Premium Career is worth paying for during an active job search, when InMail, top applicant insights and profile views all earn their keep. It isn't worth leaving on for years out of habit. My advice: start with a free trial if LinkedIn offers you one, use the InMail credits every month, and cancel the moment you've signed an offer.
