Where these numbers come from
Every figure on this page is aggregated from 5 live designer jobs on OnJob.io that openly disclose pay. We take each listing's salary, convert it to an annual INR amount, and report the minimum, quartiles (p25/p75), median and maximum across them. We only count roles priced in INR, and we drop any value that falls outside a sane band so a single typo can't skew the result.
These are indicative market ranges, not guaranteed offers. Because the band is drawn from current openings, it updates automatically as designer jobs are posted or expire — so it reflects what employers are paying right now, not a year-old survey. Your own number depends on your experience, skills, city and company tier.
