LinkedIn Premium cost in Germany
What you pay in Germany depends on one field in the billing form: a valid VAT number removes the tax entirely, and without one you pay your own country's rate on top. Those two facts decide more of the bill than which tier you pick. Below: what changes here, the US baseline to judge it against, and the thirty-second way to read your own real figure.

How much is LinkedIn Premium in Germany?
In Germany, LinkedIn Premium costs the price LinkedIn sets for that market, plus VAT unless a valid VAT number is on the bill.

The US list price it is set around: Premium Career $39.99 a month or $239.88 a year, Premium Business $69.99 a month or $575.88 a year — US dollars, excluding tax, checked against LinkedIn's own pricing on .

Three things that decide a German LinkedIn bill
LinkedIn bills its European business from Ireland, so a German purchase is an EU cross-border supply and the VAT treatment depends on whether you are buying as a business or as a private person.
A private buyer is charged German VAT at 19% on top of the price. A business that enters a valid USt-IdNr is not charged VAT at all, because the liability reverses onto the business under EU place-of-supply rules.
That single field is worth about 19% of the bill. It is also the most common thing people forget, and LinkedIn does not go back and re-issue an invoice because the number arrived late.
The usage ceilings are identical everywhere. Roughly 100 connection invitations a week, the same InMail allowance per tier, the same 2,500-result cap on a Sales Navigator search — none of it moves with the currency. The full list is here.
Whether you pay VAT at all is one field in the billing form
LinkedIn bills its European business from Ireland, so this is a cross-border supply inside the EU. In LinkedIn's words: “LinkedIn is not required to apply VAT on services for EU members outside of Ireland who have provided a valid VAT number.”
| Buying as | Tax treatment | Effective cost |
|---|---|---|
| Private individual | Charged at your country's VAT rate | List price plus VAT |
| Business with a valid VAT number | Not charged — the liability reverses onto you | List price |
| Business in Ireland | Charged at 23% regardless, unless exempt | List price plus 23% |

US list prices, to judge your German figure against
We do not publish local-currency prices, and the reason is the same one that governs every other figure on this site: we cannot read a purchase flow in a market we are not in, so any number we printed would be someone else’s number with our date on it. The US list price below is the baseline LinkedIn prices its other markets around — it is not a conversion target — and the thirty-second method further down gets you your own real figure, tax included.
| Plan | Monthly (US) | Annual (US) |
|---|---|---|
| Premium Career | $39.99 | $239.88 |
| Premium Business | $69.99 | $575.88 |
| Sales Navigator Core | $119.99 | $1,079.88 |
| Sales Navigator Advanced | $159.99 | $1,799.88 |
| Sales Navigator Advanced Plus | Quote only | Quote only |
| Recruiter Lite | $170 | $1,680 |
| Recruiter Corporate | Quote only | Quote only |
| LinkedIn Learning (standalone) | $39.99 | $239.88 |
| Premium Company Page | $99.99 | Quote only |
US list prices per seat excluding tax, last verified 12 September 2026. Premium Career at $39.99 and Sales Navigator Core at $119.99 are the two figures most people are comparing against when they search for a local price.
Read your own German price instead
No table on the web can be right about this, including ours. The payment screen can, and it does not charge you for looking.
- Sign in with the account that will hold the subscription.
- Open the plan page and pick monthly or annual.
- Advance to the payment screen — nothing is charged until you confirm.
- Read the total in euros. It includes the tax for your billing address.
- If you are buying as a business, enter your VAT number first and watch the total change. Inside the EU it should remove the tax entirely.

What people ask before buying here
How much is LinkedIn Premium in Germany?
In Germany, LinkedIn Premium costs the price LinkedIn sets for that market, plus VAT unless a valid VAT number is on the bill. LinkedIn does not publish that figure outside its own purchase flow, so it is not printed here. The US list price it is set around: Premium Career $39.99 a month or $239.88 a year, Premium Business $69.99 a month or $575.88 a year — US dollars, excluding tax, checked against LinkedIn’s own pricing on 10 September 2026.
Do I pay VAT on LinkedIn in Germany?
As a private buyer, yes — German VAT at 19% on top of the price. As a VAT-registered business that has entered a valid USt-IdNr, no: LinkedIn states it is not required to apply VAT for EU members outside Ireland who provide a valid VAT number, and the charge reverses onto you instead.
Why is the German price not the US price in euros?
Because LinkedIn sets a euro price per plan rather than converting. The euro figure and the dollar figure move independently, and neither one is derived from the other.
Do the usage limits change in Germany?
No. The invitation ceiling, the InMail allowance and the search caps are the same in every market — they are product limits, not commercial ones. That is worth knowing because it means a cheaper market buys you a cheaper seat, not a bigger one. The full list of ceilings is here.
The German number is on your payment screen
We publish the US baseline because we read it, and the tax because LinkedIn publishes it. The local list price is one click away inside your own account, and that is the only version of it worth trusting.
