What plans LinkedIn Premium can be paid in 2026
LinkedIn has four main paid plans: job search, networking, sales and recruiting. Each one has a free month - you still need to link a card for it.
Below are US prices billed monthly, verified October 29, 2026. When paying annually, a month is cheaper; LinkedIn will show you the exact amount before payment.
| Plan | Price | What gives |
|---|---|---|
| Premium Career | $39.99 per month | InMail, who viewed the profile, comparison with other candidates |
| Premium Business | $69.99 per month | More InMail, company analytics, advanced search |
| Sales Navigator Core | $119.99 per month | Client search, lead lists, recommendations |
| Recruiter Lite | $170 per month | Search for candidates and projects to hire |
Sales Navigator Core costs $89.99 per month when paid annually. Prices may vary depending on the profile country and applicable discounts.

Why a Russian card is declined
LinkedIn does not accept cards from Russian banks. Since 2022, Visa and Mastercard cards from Russian banks do not work abroad, and LinkedIn Mir does not accept them, so the payment is rejected.
The P2D card is issued abroad in dollars and is suitable for regular subscription charges.
Paying for LinkedIn Premium with a P2D card
For LinkedIn Premium use the P2D virtual card “Purchases and subscriptions”. You subscribe yourself in your profile - you don’t need to share your password with anyone.
A month of Premium Career costs $39.99: when topping up with $45, after debiting and a fee of $0.75, $4.26 will remain on the card. For Premium Business, top up your card to a minimum of $70.74.
Even for a free month, LinkedIn checks the card. After the trial period, the debiting will take place automatically - by this date, the amount of the plan and fee should be on the card. Top-up via SBP with no fee.

If a LinkedIn Premium payment fails
First, understand where everything stopped: the card did not go through, a confirmation code is needed, or Premium was paid for, but did not appear.

| Card declined | Check that the card covers the payment plus the $0.75 fee, and compare the card details. If they are correct, write to P2D support with the time, amount and error text |
