The median UK frontend developer salary falls in the £55k - £75k range. Senior frontend and UI architects frequently break £100k in London.
React roles are the most common and cluster around the median. Vue and Angular roles are slightly scarcer and often pay a small premium, though the difference is driven more by seniority than the framework itself.
Frontend and backend salaries are within a few percent of each other at the same seniority level. The largest gap is at senior level, where backend leads and staff engineers can pull ahead.
