UI design cost depends on scope, product complexity, seniority, research, design-system needs, and how much implementation support is required. Screen count matters, but it is not the main driver.
Typical cost ranges
| Scope | Typical budget |
|---|---|
| Small visual refresh | $5K-$15K |
| Landing page or marketing UI | $8K-$25K |
| Product UI for one core flow | $15K-$50K |
| Full SaaS UX/UI redesign | $50K-$150K+ |
| Design system | $40K-$200K+ depending on scale |
What changes the price
Research and discovery depth.
Number and complexity of workflows.
Responsive states, accessibility, and edge cases.
Design system and component documentation.
Engineering handoff and QA support.
How to budget safely
Budget by risk, not only by screens. A billing workflow, trading interface, or enterprise permission system needs more design depth than a simple marketing page.
