Product Designer vs UX Designer: which pays more?
The median for Product Designer is $175,000 per year (typically $142,895–$207,625), versus $170,000 for UX Designer ($130,000–$200,000). That puts Product Designer about 3% ahead at the median.
Both figures are computed live from active listings on JobsRadar and normalized to annualized USD, so Product Designer and UX Designer are compared on equal terms regardless of the currency each role was originally posted in. Only roles that publish a salary range feed the medians; numbers refresh every few hours as new roles post and older ones close, so this comparison reflects the market right now rather than a fixed survey. Use it as a directional benchmark when weighing one path against the other.
