How much do UI/UX designers earn in India in 2025?

UI UX design is no longer a niche skill. In 2025, companies across IT, fintech, e-commerce, healthcare, and edtech are hiring designers who can build clean, user-focused digital products. This rising demand has pushed salaries upward, both for freshers and experienced professionals.

NOTE: Design field is the only field in the last 12 months that has not seen layoffs, but has grown by 4% in placements, where other fields like engineering and IT are struggling to retain people.

At EDIT Institute, we’ve tracked the real-world outcomes of our students. Here’s what the numbers show.

Salary for Freshers in UI UX

Fresh graduates entering the UI/UX field after completing our UI UX Design Course have received annual salaries between:

• ₹1.2 Lakhs to ₹8 Lakhs per annum

This range depends on factors like:

• City of placement (metros like Mumbai, Pune & Bengaluru offer more)
• Type of company (startups vs large-scale agencies or corporates)
• Skills in tools like Figma, Adobe XD, and prototyping methods
• Strength of the design portfolio

Students who take feedback seriously, improve their portfolios, and demonstrate real problem-solving in their projects often receive better offers.

Salary Growth for Working Professionals

Many students who join EDIT Institute already have some experience in graphic design, web design, any other design vertical or frontend development. After upgrading their skills through our UI UX Design course, they’ve seen salary hikes ranging from 30% to 150%.

For example:

• A graphic designer earning ₹3LPA landed a UI UX role at ₹6.5LPA in January 2024
• A frontend developer moved from ₹6LPA to ₹10LPA after switching to a product design role

These aren’t rare outcomes. They’re a result of:

• • Building structured design processes
  • Learning to present ideas clearly to stakeholders
  • Mastering real-world tools and workflows

NOTE: In 2024, an MNC placed 36 EDIT students as UI/UX designers in just 1 month.

We don’t focus on theory. The course is structured to:

• Simulate industry projects
• Train in research, wireframing, UI design, and prototyping
