Graphic designer salary in Pakistan

Graphic design is a crowded entry market in Pakistan, so first salaries are low: Faisalabad averages about Rs 44,000 a month and junior roles there average about Rs 30,000 on Indeed. The pay ladder is real, though: mid-level designers earn Rs 50,000 to 100,000 and UI/UX work pays in a different league.

Remote and freelance

Design is a large part of Pakistan's non-IT freelance exports. One training provider claims skilled freelancers earn Rs 200,000 to 500,000 a month; that is far above every other source and should be read as the top of the market, not the norm. Source (17 Oct 2026)

Agencies, e-commerce sellers, printing and textile exporters in Faisalabad, and social media teams everywhere hire designers; the volume is high and so is the competition. Current graphic designer openings on Rozee.

What moves you up a band

A portfolio that solves business problems (a brand system, a campaign, packaging), fluency in Figma as well as Adobe, motion basics, and UI/UX skills, which move a designer from the Rs 50,000 band to the Rs 100,000-plus band faster than anything else.

How we read these figures

Each range is gross monthly pay from the source beside it, read on the date shown. Job sites report what their own users submit and the samples are small, so two sites can disagree about the same role and city; we show the sample size wherever the source states one, and we quote guides only where no survey exists. Treat every band as a range to negotiate within, not a promise. Figures older than 90 days are flagged to us for re-checking.
