After posting a pay-per-click job on LinkedIn, you’ll be charged based on several defined conditions. Your charge amount depends on the daily budget you’ve set for your job posts and the number of views your post receives.
After posting a pay-per-click job on LinkedIn, your default payment method on file will be charged when one of the following conditions is met:
- You’ll be charged every 30 days from the date of your first job post, and your billing cycle will begin on this date. Any accrued balance for subsequent job posts will be applied to your billing cycle for as long as the job remains open.
- You’ll be charged within 24 hours if your total account balance across all jobs is greater than or equal to $500.
- You’ll be charged within 24 hours if all open jobs are closed or suspended. If there is at least one job still open, you won’t be charged immediately.
Here's a tip
The date of your billing cycle will reset after all jobs are closed or suspended. If you post a new job, a new billing cycle will begin on this date.
Your charge amount depends on your job posts’ daily budget and the number of views from candidates. You only pay for job views by candidates and aren’t billed for views from LinkedIn employees or the job poster. As a result, you might see a discrepancy in the number of views and the amount charged.
We'll always charge the current default payment method on file. If you change your default payment method at any time before the end of your billing cycle, your new card on file will be charged. Learn more about adding, editing, or deleting a payment method.
