DESIGN SALARY GUIDE

2025

At ADLIB we benchmark salaries using a combination of the latest data from our database, insight from niche industry surveys we’ve conducted + publicly available salary data, all paired with our extensive experience of working in the design industry for over 20 years.

Here, we aim to provide an overall range of salaries based on a variety of common job titles. This document provides the typical bandings for each role outside of London.

The purpose of this guide is to provide a snapshot of Design salary bandings across different skillsets and industries. Specific benchmarking is a much more detailed task and something we do 1:1 so these serve as rough guides only.

This guide provides:

  • Average bandings we see across different skillsets & industries.
  • Insight into how ADLIB benchmarks salaries.
  • Tips for employers on what to consider when assigning a salary to a role.
  • A guide to salaries based on job title and seniority level.
