How do I get my billing statement from LinkedIn?

Getting your billing statement from LinkedIn is easy once you know where to look. LinkedIn provides detailed billing statements that allow you to keep track of charges, payments, credits, and account balances. In this article, we’ll walk through the steps for accessing your LinkedIn billing statement online or requesting a copy by email.

Viewing Your Billing Statement Online

The easiest way to access your LinkedIn billing statement is directly through your account settings. Here’s how:

1. Login to your LinkedIn account on the website (not the mobile app).
2. Click on your profile picture in the top right corner of the screen.
3. Select “Settings & Privacy” from the dropdown menu.
4. Click “Billing” on the left side of the page.
5. Under “Statements & Payment History”, click “See billing statement”.

This will display your current billing statement, which includes:

• Statement period – The date range the statement covers.
• Payment due date – When your next payment is due.
• Account number – Your unique billing account number.
• Charges – Fees for LinkedIn products/services since your last statement.
• Payments – List of payments applied to your account.
• Credits – Any account credits from refunds or promotional offers.
• Current balance – Total amount owed or in credit on your account.

Review the charges and credits carefully to ensure accuracy. You can download or print the statement directly from this page by clicking on the download icon.

Understanding LinkedIn Billing Cycles

LinkedIn bills on a monthly cycle. Your statement period will generally be the calendar month, closing on the last day of each month. However, your first statement may have a shorter period if you signed up mid-month. Payment due dates are usually within 30 days of the statement closing date.

For example, if you signed up on April 15, your first statement would cover April 15 to April 30. It would be due around May 30. Subsequent statements would run May 1 to May 31, June 1 to June 30, etc.

The timing of charges and credits on your statement depends on the LinkedIn products you use:

• Premium Subscriptions – Billed on the day of the month you originally subscribed.
• Sponsored Content Ads – Billed when you are charged after meeting spending thresholds.
• Talent Solutions – Billed on varying cycles based on product.
• Other Services – Billed when used or on a monthly subscription.

Knowing these billing cycles helps avoid any surprises when reviewing your statement.

Requesting Billing Statements by Email

If you need a copy of your statement sent to you, LinkedIn allows you to easily request this by email. Here’s how it works:

1. From your LinkedIn account, go to your profile picture > Settings & Privacy > Billing.
2. Under “Statements & Payment History”, click “Request statement”.
3. Select the statement period you need from the dropdown menu.
4. Enter the email address to send it to.
5. Click “Send”.

The selected LinkedIn billing statement will be emailed to you as a PDF attachment. You can request statements going back up to a year. This is useful for tracking expenses over time or providing to your accounting department.

Managing Billing Notifications

Along with accessing statements on demand, LinkedIn provides options for receiving regular billing notifications:

• Email reminders – Get an email before your payment due date.
• Paperless billing – Go paperless and receive statement via email.
• Billing notifications – Set threshold alerts for account balance.

You can manage these notifications in your account under Settings & Privacy > Billing > Communications Preferences. The options include:

• Payment reminder – 3, 7, or 14 days before due date.
• Paperless billing – Monthly statement PDF by email.
• Billing threshold alerts – $10, $25, $50, or custom threshold.

Enabling some of these notifications can help you stay on top of your LinkedIn expenses and account balance. Be sure to keep your email address up to date in your Profile settings.
