Does part of a keyword phrase need to be repeated in a sub folder?

[designquotes]

I have a page that targets "web design" at /web-design/

I also have a page at /web-design/price-cost-calculator/

In the second page the target keyword is "web design price" and "web design cost".

Do I need to repeat the "web design" part in the sub folder, or is it sufficient to have it in the root folder?

I.e., /web-design/price-cost-calculator/ or /web-design/web-design-price-cost-calculator/

The first option i.e.  /web-design/price-cost-calculator/ looks natural and is a better choice. Although you can have the second option as well but it doesn't look nice from users' point of view and gives an impression of over optimization.

Do not repeat it.  The structure of web-design/price-cost-calculator is good and will get the keywords you want in the URL.  On the other hand, if you lengthen it out and say the keyword again you'd be more likely to lose keywords in the URL because of how much of the URL google actually shows in the SERPs.
