Direct Answer

TypeScript Developer salaries in the UK range from £32,000 (junior/mid) to £640–£850/day (senior/lead). TypeScript is now the baseline expectation for JavaScript roles — plain JavaScript CVs are increasingly screened out at senior level. TypeScript + React + Node.js (full-stack) commands the highest premium. Strict TypeScript (strict: true config) expertise is a positive signal. TypeScript + AI/ML integration is the fastest-growing TypeScript specialism in 2025.

Market Outlook

TypeScript Developers are in consistent demand across UK software development — TypeScript has become the standard for professional JavaScript in the UK, replacing plain JavaScript for most new projects. The role encompasses frontend (React/Next.js), backend (Node.js/Fastify), and full-stack TypeScript development.
