This can be achieved like so:

UILabel *myLabel = [[UILabel alloc] init];

// allows the UILabel to wrap text across multiple lines
myLabel.lineBreakMode = UILineBreakModeWordWrap;

// allows the UILabel to display an unlimited number of lines
myLabel.numberOfLines = 0;

You can add line breaks to the text using new-line characters (“\n”), as mentioned in the comments above.

You only need to set some properties like this

UILabel *myLabel = [[UILabel alloc] init];
[myLabel setFrame:CGRectMake(20, 20, 300, 200)];
myLabel.lineBreakMode = NSLineBreakByWordWrapping;
myLabel.numberOfLines = 2;

[myLabel setText:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@\n%@", @"$2500.50", @"per ride"]];

[self.view addSubview:myLabel];
