You can use this code to add underline with spacing in button.

1 - Interface builder reference

2 - using described code

public func setTextUnderline()
    {
        let dummyButton: UIButton = UIButton.init()
        dummyButton.setTitle(self.titleLabel?.text, for: .normal)
        dummyButton.titleLabel?.font = self.titleLabel?.font
        dummyButton.sizeToFit()

        let dummyHeight = dummyButton.frame.size.height + 3

        let bottomLine = CALayer()
        bottomLine.frame = CGRect.init(x: (self.frame.size.width - dummyButton.frame.size.width)/2, y: -(self.frame.size.height - dummyHeight), width: dummyButton.frame.size.width, height: 1.0)
        bottomLine.backgroundColor = self.titleLabel?.textColor.cgColor
        self.layer.addSublayer(bottomLine)
    }
