How much padding should a button have?

Button padding is one of the most important aspects of button styling. My personal styling is to set vertical padding equal to font height, and set horizontal padding to 1.33 times vertical height. If a font height is 20px, vertical padding is 20px, and horizontal padding would be 27px.

What is padding in design?

Padding is the space between the content and the border of an element. Padding is valuable in making additional space inside an element, keeping it at a set distance from other aspects of a website.
