LinkedIn Premium cost in India
LinkedIn adds 18% GST to the subscription price in India, and the rupees list price is set separately from the US one rather than converted from it. 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 India?

Three things that decide a Indian LinkedIn bill
India is one of the markets where LinkedIn prices furthest below its US list price. It is not a conversion — LinkedIn sets a separate rupee price — so the gap is a pricing decision rather than an exchange rate, and it does not move when the rupee does.
GST at 18% is added on top. On a subscription billed in rupees that is a fifth of the bill, and it is the part that surprises people who budgeted from a figure they read in a blog post.
A GSTIN entered in the billing details changes how the charge appears and is what your accountant will ask for. Enter it before the first charge rather than after — LinkedIn does not reissue invoices for a number added later.
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.
18% GST, added on top
From LinkedIn's own published table, read 18 September 2026. It is added to the advertised price rather than included in it.
| Buying as | Tax treatment | Effective cost |
|---|---|---|
| Private individual | Charged at 18% GST | List price plus 18% |
| Registered business | Charged, then reclaimed through your normal return | List price, once reclaimed |

US list prices, to judge your Indian 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We do not publish local-currency prices, and the reason is the same one that governs every other figure on this site: we cannot read a purchase flow in a market we are not in,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 Indian 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 rupees. It includes the GST for your billing address.
- If you are buying as a business, enter your GST or tax number first and watch the total change.

What people ask before buying here
How much is LinkedIn Premium in India?
In India, LinkedIn Premium costs the price LinkedIn sets for that market, plus 18% GST. 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.
Is LinkedIn Premium cheaper in India?
Substantially, yes — LinkedIn sets a separate rupee price rather than converting the US one, and India is among the markets it prices lowest. We do not print the rupee figure here because we cannot read an Indian purchase flow from outside India, and every number circulating for it traces back to another blog rather than to LinkedIn. Open the purchase page while signed in from India and the real figure is on the payment screen in about thirty seconds.
Does the price include GST?
No. LinkedIn states it charges GST at 18% in India, added on top of the subscription price. Budget the plan plus a fifth.
Can I pay the US price by using a VPN?
No, and it would be the wrong direction anyway — the Indian price is lower. LinkedIn determines the billing market from the payment method and billing address rather than from your connection, so a VPN changes what you see and not what you are charged.
Do the usage limits change in India?
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 Indian 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.
