As a LinkedIn Premium subscriber, you may need to access your invoice from time to time for accounting and reimbursement purposes. LinkedIn makes it easy to download your premium invoice right from your account. Here are the steps to download your LinkedIn Premium invoice:
Locate the Settings on LinkedIn
The first step is to locate the settings area in your LinkedIn account. To do this:
- Log into your LinkedIn account on the web (not the mobile app)
- In the top right corner of the screen, click on the “Me” icon (your profile picture)
- In the drop-down menu, choose “Settings & Privacy”
This will take you to the Account settings page where you can manage your Premium subscription.
Navigate to the Payments Page
Now that you are in the settings area, you need to navigate to the payments and billing page. Here’s how:
- On the left side of the screen, click “Payments”
- Under the “Premium Subscriptions” section, click “Purchase History”
This will open up your purchase history page which contains all the information about your Premium subscription, including invoices.
Download the Invoice
On the purchase history page, you will see a list of your LinkedIn Premium purchases and renewals. Each one will have an invoice associated with it.
To download the invoice:
- Locate the subscription billing period you need the invoice for.
- Click on “Invoice” to view the invoice details.
- Click the “Download” button in the top right to download a PDF copy of the invoice to your computer.
The PDF invoice contains your order details, billing address, payment information, and a breakdown of the LinkedIn Premium costs for that billing period. You can save or print this PDF for your records as needed.
What Does the LinkedIn Premium Invoice Include?
Your LinkedIn Premium invoice provides a detailed receipt and billing record for your subscription purchase. Here are some of the key details it includes:
- Invoice number – Unique identification number for the billing period
- Billing period – Dates the invoice covers for your Premium access
- Plan details – The type of Premium subscription plan purchased
- Payment details – Amount charged and payment method used

Having the invoice allows you to have a formal record of the transaction that may be needed for expense reporting, reimbursement, or tax purposes. The invoice provides proof of purchase and payment details all in one document.
Troubleshooting When the Invoice Won’t Download
In most cases, downloading your LinkedIn Premium invoice is a straightforward process. But occasionally, you may run into trouble accessing the invoice for download. Here are some things to try if you can’t download your invoice:
- Refresh the page – Sometimes just refreshing will allow the Download button to appear if it is missing.

- Clear cookies and cache – Removing cookies and cached files can help resolve display issues.
- Try incognito mode – Open an incognito/private browsing window and try downloading again.

As soon as you become a paying Premium member, you’ll be able to access and download invoices for your subscription fees on LinkedIn.
Switching LinkedIn Premium Plans
If you decide to change your LinkedIn Premium plan, for example upgrading from Premium Career to Premium Business, it’s good to know how it affects your invoices:
- Each plan has separate invoices – You will have independent invoices for your various Premium subscriptions.
- Old invoices remain available – Invoices from your past plan do not disappear when you switch.
- Upgrades process immediately – When upgrading plans, you gain instant access to new features.
- Downgrades take effect at renewal – If you downgrade your plan, the changes apply at the next billing cycle.
You can access invoices for all periods across different Premium plans from your account purchase history. Switching plans does not affect this invoice availability.
Cancelling Your Premium Subscription
If you decide to cancel your LinkedIn Premium subscription, you can still access all of your past invoices. Here’s what happens:
- Premium features turn off immediately after cancellation.
- Invoicing continues until the current billing period ends.
- You can download invoices even after canceling for recordkeeping.
- No new invoices are generated but past ones remain available.
Although you lose Premium member benefits if you cancel, your purchase history showing past invoices remains unaffected. Invoices always stay available for at least 6 years.
Downloading Invoices on Mobile

- Email invoice to yourself – On desktop, email the downloaded PDF invoice to access on mobile.
