LinkedIn has more than 1.4 billion members, according to its Pressroom, up from 1.2 billion in July 2025. Europe, the Middle East and Africa is the largest region, with 32.0% of members by our calculation. LinkedIn revenue was $19,817 million in Microsoft's fiscal year 2026, up 11%, according to Microsoft's 10-K. That is about $15 per member. In the US, 31% of adults use LinkedIn, according to Pew Research Center. Use rises to 51% of college graduates and 45% of adults in households earning $100,000 or more. In the EU, LinkedIn had 54.7 million logged-in users a month in the first half of 2025.

## How many LinkedIn members are there

LinkedIn reports members, meaning registered accounts. It does not publish monthly or daily active users worldwide. Its Pressroom gives a rounded total and a split by four regions.

LinkedIn says it has more than 1.4 billion members. That figure comes from its Pressroom, which is undated, so we read it on 3 November 2026. LinkedIn gave 1.3 billion in April 2026 and 1.2 billion in July 2025. By our calculation the count grew about 8.3% in the nine months to April 2026. LinkedIn says membership has grown at a double-digit rate for five years in a row.

Europe, the Middle East and Africa is the largest region, with more than 450 million members. Asia Pacific follows with 427 million. North America has 296 million, or 21.1% of the total by our calculation. The four regions add up to 1,406 million, which matches the 1.4 billion headline.

A member is not the same as an active user. LinkedIn's EU filings show 54.7 million logged-in users a month in the EU, a small fraction of its European members. Pew Research Center finds 31% of US adults use LinkedIn, while LinkedIn counts 296 million members in the US and Canada.

## LinkedIn revenue and growth

Microsoft bought LinkedIn in December 2016 and reported its revenue as a separate line until fiscal year 2026. Microsoft's fiscal year ends on 30 June. From fiscal 2027, LinkedIn's revenue is split across other reporting lines.

LinkedIn revenue was $19,817 million in fiscal year 2026, up $2.0 billion or 11%, according to Microsoft. Revenue has grown 3.77 times since fiscal 2018, the first full year under Microsoft. By our calculation that is a compound rate of 18.0% a year. Growth peaked at 27% in fiscal 2021. It then slowed to about 9% to 10% a year in fiscal 2023 to 2025, before picking up to 11% in 2026.

The quarter to June 2026 was LinkedIn's biggest of the last two years, at $5,189 million. Revenue grew 12% that quarter, or 10% in constant currency. Advertising grew faster. LinkedIn Marketing Solutions revenue rose 16%, 4 points ahead of the total by our calculation. LinkedIn also reported a $450 million annual run rate for its agentic hiring products.

LinkedIn is a small part of Microsoft. It made up 6.0% of Microsoft revenue in fiscal 2026, down from 6.3% a year earlier, because Microsoft's total revenue grew faster, by 17.8%. Dividing revenue by members gives about $15.2 per member a year. That is a rough guide only, because revenue comes from recruiters, advertisers, sales teams and paying subscribers, not from the average member.

## LinkedIn usage in the US by age, education and income

Pew Research Center asks a national sample of US adults which platforms they ever use. It asked about LinkedIn in 2024 and 2026 but not in 2025. Its figures show who actually uses LinkedIn, which member counts cannot.

31% of US adults used LinkedIn in 2026, according to Pew Research Center. That is close to the 32% in 2024 and almost double the 16% in 2012. By our calculation LinkedIn ranks sixth of the 11 platforms Pew asked about, behind YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and WhatsApp. Growth has flattened since 2023.

Education and income matter more than age. 51% of college graduates use LinkedIn, against 13% of adults with a high school education or less. That makes graduates 3.9 times as likely to use it, by our calculation. Adults in households earning $100,000 or more are 2.5 times as likely to use it as those earning under $30,000. No other platform on Pew's list shows a gap this wide by education. Reddit comes closest, at 36% against 12%.

Age matters less than on TikTok or Instagram. 41% of 18 to 29 year olds use LinkedIn, and 37% of 30 to 49 year olds. Use drops to 13% among adults 65 and over. Rural adults (20%) are much less likely to use it than urban (34%) or suburban (35%) adults. For how younger adults use video apps instead, see our [TikTok statistics](https://statisticsglobal.org/tiktok-statistics/).

## LinkedIn users in the EU

LinkedIn must publish average monthly active users in the EU under the Digital Services Act. These are the only active-user figures LinkedIn releases. They cover the 27 EU countries and exclude the UK.

LinkedIn had an average of 54.7 million logged-in users a month in the EU in the first half of 2025. That is up from 51.9 million a year earlier, a rise of 5.4% by our calculation, or 2.8 million more users.

France is LinkedIn's largest EU market by logged-in users, with 12.2 million, or 22.3% of the EU total. Germany has 7.4 million logged-in users but more logged-out visits, 32.0 million a month, against 25.5 million in France. EU users also made 213.1 million logged-out visits a month. LinkedIn says these visits are not fully deduplicated, so they should not be read as people.

Fake accounts dominate LinkedIn's own enforcement. Of the 1.73 million items it removed in the EU without a user report in the first half of 2025, 92.3% were fake accounts by our calculation. It also permanently suspended 6,931 EU accounts for repeated policy breaches. The latest EU report we could fetch covers the first half of 2025, so these figures will be updated when a newer one is found.

## LinkedIn engagement statistics

LinkedIn reports engagement as growth rates, not totals, in its quarterly highlights. Its Pressroom adds a set of rounded per-minute figures.

About 9,000 job applications are sent on LinkedIn every minute, according to LinkedIn. By our calculation that is about 13 million a day. More than 19,000 connections are made and 110 people add a new role each minute. These are rounded Pressroom figures with no stated period, so treat them as orders of size.

Engagement is growing, led by posts and comments. Time spent on content grew 10% in the quarter to June 2026, and knowledge-oriented posts rose 24%. In fiscal 2025, comments rose more than 30% and video uploads more than 20%. LinkedIn does not publish the base numbers, so the growth rates cannot be turned into totals.

The two paid video figures do not agree. The April 2026 update said paid video grew nearly 30%. The Pressroom now says 25%. They likely cover different periods, and neither gives its exact time frame. For how LinkedIn compares with other ad channels, see our [B2B marketing statistics](https://statisticsglobal.org/b2b-marketing-statistics/).

## How the sources measure LinkedIn

The numbers on this page come from three kinds of source. Each counts something different, so they should not be mixed without care.

LinkedIn's member count includes every registered account, whether or not it is used. The Pressroom gives figures as lower bounds ("1.4B+") with no date. Microsoft's revenue figures are audited, but Microsoft restated fiscal 2022 in later filings, and it stopped reporting LinkedIn as a separate line from fiscal 2027. Fiscal 2026 is likely the last standalone annual figure.

Pew's survey is designed to represent all US adults. Pew changed survey modes in 2023 and 2024 and warns this may affect trends. Its figures for Asian adults cover English speakers only. LinkedIn's EU user counts are self-reported under the Digital Services Act and are not audited for this page. We could not fetch Ofcom's UK report in this update, so the page has no UK user figure yet.


Table: Main sources on this page and what they measure

| Source | Population | Measure | Period |
|---|---|---|---|
| LinkedIn Pressroom | All members worldwide | Registered members, rounded, by region | Undated, read 3 November 2026 |
| Microsoft 10-K and 8-K filings | LinkedIn as a business | Audited revenue in US dollars | Fiscal years to June, 2017 to 2026 |
| Pew Research Center | 5,511 US adults | Share who say they ever use LinkedIn | 30 January to 18 June 2026 |
| LinkedIn DSA transparency reports | EU users | Logged-in monthly users and moderation actions | First half of 2024 and 2025 |
