Salary · India LPA
Frontend Developer salary in India
Frontend pay tracks product vs services split closely. React/TypeScript depth and shipped performance wins move you toward the upper band; template-heavy agency work usually sits lower even at similar YOE.
LPA bands by experience
Ranges reflect mixed services + product hiring — not top-decile outliers or internship stipends.
| Experience | Typical fixed CTC band |
|---|---|
| 0–2 years | 4–9 LPA |
| 3–5 years | 9–18 LPA |
| 5–8 years | 15–26 LPA |
City and remote notes
- Bengaluru (BLR): product startups often +10–15% vs national mid
- Hyderabad (HYD): GCC and product mix; React-heavy roles pay closer to BLR
- NCR (Delhi NCR): agency + product; product bands can match BLR, agencies lower
- Pune: services UI roles often at national mid; product slightly below BLR
- Remote (India): remote-first SaaS can pay tier-1 for strong React/Next.js depth
Negotiation tip
If the JD demanded TypeScript and Next.js, use your portfolio and Core Web Vitals wins as leverage — generic 'frontend' titles often get lower bands than 'UI engineer' at product firms.

FAQ
How much do Frontend Developers earn in India?
Rough honest bands: 0–2 YOE 4–9 LPA, 3–5 YOE 9–18 LPA, 5–8 YOE 15–26 LPA. Product companies and D2C apps pay more than pure services body-shop UI roles.
Does React Native or Next.js change the band?
It can. JDs that name Next.js, design systems, or accessibility often sit in product bands. Generic 'HTML/CSS/JS' services roles cluster at the lower end even with the same years on paper.
Can I negotiate frontend offers without a competing offer?
Yes — bring shipped app links, LCP/CLS improvements, and stack match to the JD. Ask for higher fixed if variable is fuzzy, or a signing bonus for immediate joiners.
