If you're using auto layout, you can set the horizontal constraints and use an NSDictionary in the metrics parameter to set this dynamically.

For instance, if you wanted to give a 10pt padding to the inner content of a UIButton, you could do something like the following:

NSDictionary *padding = @{ @"padding" : @(button.intrinsicContentSize.width + 20) };
NSArray *buttonHConstraints = [NSLayoutConstraint constraintsWithVisualFormat:@"H:|[button(==padding)]|" options:0 metrics:padding views:NSDictionaryOfVariableBindings(button)];
