Cancel Robinhood Gold through the app or website in under two minutes

To cancel Robinhood Gold, open the app or website, go to your Account settings, select Membership, and choose Cancel Membership. Robinhood will ask you to confirm the cancellation. Your membership ends immediately, though you keep access to Gold features through the end of your current billing cycle. You will not be charged again after cancellation.

The process is the same whether you pay monthly or annually. If you paid for a full year upfront, Robinhood does not refund the unused portion — cancellation stops future charges only. Your regular Robinhood account remains active after Gold ends; canceling Gold does not close your brokerage account or affect your holdings.

Key Takeaways

  • Cancel Gold by navigating to Account > Membership > Cancel Membership in the app or on the website.
  • Cancellation takes effect immediately, but you retain Gold features through the end of your current billing period.
  • Annual Gold subscriptions are not refunded if you cancel partway through the year.
  • Canceling Gold does not affect your brokerage account, holdings, or ability to trade.
  • You can resubscribe to Gold at any time after cancellation without penalty.

Where to find the cancel button in the app

On the Robinhood mobile app, tap the Account icon at the bottom right of the screen. Scroll down and select Membership. You will see your current Gold subscription status and a Cancel Membership button. Tap it, and Robinhood will ask you to confirm that you want to cancel. Confirm, and the cancellation is complete.

If you do not see a Cancel Membership option, check that you are logged into the account that holds the Gold subscription. Some users have multiple Robinhood accounts, and Gold is tied to a specific account.

Canceling Gold on the website

Log into your Robinhood account on a web browser. Click the Account menu (usually in the top right or accessible from a hamburger menu). Select Membership or Subscription. You will see your Gold status and a Cancel option. Click it and confirm the cancellation.

The website version is often faster if you are on a computer, and the steps are identical to the app. Either method works; use whichever is more convenient.

What happens to your money and features after cancellation

When you cancel Gold, you lose access to Gold-specific features like extended trading hours, premium research, and the Gold cash management account after your current billing cycle ends. You keep your regular Robinhood account and all your holdings. Any cash in your account remains yours and can be withdrawn or used to trade during regular market hours.

If you had a Gold cash management account (a money market fund that pays interest), that account closes when your Gold membership ends. Robinhood will move any cash in it back to your regular Robinhood account. You will receive a notice before this happens.

Refunds and what you paid

Robinhood does not refund unused portions of annual Gold subscriptions. If you paid $168 for a year of Gold and cancel after four months, you lose the remaining eight months of payment. Monthly subscriptions also do not refund the current month if you cancel mid-cycle, though you keep access through the end of that month.

Check your billing date before canceling if you are close to the end of a cycle. If your next charge is in three days, waiting to cancel might save you a month's fee. Robinhood shows your next billing date in the Membership section.

Resubscribing to Gold later

You can resubscribe to Robinhood Gold at any time after cancellation. Go back to Account > Membership and select Subscribe to Gold. There is no penalty for canceling and resubscribing, and you will not lose any account history or holdings. Your regular account stays active the entire time.

Some users cancel Gold temporarily to avoid the fee during months when they do not use extended hours or premium research, then resubscribe later. Robinhood allows this without restriction.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does canceling Gold close my Robinhood account?

No. Canceling Gold only removes the paid membership. Your brokerage account, all your stocks and funds, and your ability to trade remain unchanged. You can still buy and sell during regular market hours.

Can I cancel Gold if I have an outstanding loan from Robinhood Gold?

Robinhood Gold offers margin loans to some users. If you have an active loan, you may not be able to cancel Gold immediately. Contact Robinhood support to discuss your options, as the policy depends on your loan balance and account status.

What if I cancel Gold by accident?

If you cancel by mistake, resubscribe immediately through Account > Membership > Subscribe to Gold. You will be charged the next monthly or annual fee, but you regain Gold features right away. Robinhood does not reverse cancellations or issue refunds for accidental cancellations.

Will I get a refund if I cancel before my annual billing date?

No. Annual Gold subscriptions are non-refundable. Once you cancel, you lose the unused portion of your payment. You keep access to Gold features through the end of your current billing cycle, but no money is returned.

Can I pause my Gold membership instead of canceling?

Robinhood does not offer a pause feature for Gold. Your options are to keep the subscription active or cancel it. If you want to stop paying temporarily, cancel now and resubscribe when you are ready to use Gold again.
