Robux tax calculator: see what you keep
A Robux tax calculator shows what you receive after Roblox’s fee on a sale, and what price to set to receive a target amount. The “tax” is Roblox’s fee, not a government tax.
- Seven kinds of sale
- Price to payout and back
- No login; nothing leaves your browser
The short answer
As of 18 October 2026, Roblox keeps 30% of each game pass, developer product, private server, Robux subscription and paid access sale, so you receive 70%. Since 14 July 2026, avatar items, classic clothing included, pay the creator 30%, plus 40% to the game owner when they sell inside a game. In-game Robux transfers pay the recipient 90% and the game 10%, with no Roblox fee.

How it works
How the math works
Your share of the price, rounded down to a whole Robux.
- 1
Pick what you sell
Each kind of sale has its own split. See the five splits.
- 2
Enter a price or a target
The price a buyer paid, or the Robux you want from each sale.
- 3
Read what reaches you
After Roblox’s share, pending for a few days, then ready for DevEx if it counts as Earned Robux.
The formula
you receive = price × your share, rounded down
game pass: 100 × 70% = 70 Robux
shirt on the Marketplace, base 30%: 50 × 30% = 15 Robux
price = target ÷ your share, rounded up
1,000 ÷ 70% = 1,428.6, so price 1,429
DevEx: 70 × $0.0038 = $0.266, about $0.27
-
By hand
- Look up the share for what you sell
- Multiply, then round down to a whole Robux
- Work backwards to price for a target
-
After a sale
- Your pending Robux show in My Transactions (Roblox help (opens in a new tab))
- Only once someone has bought it
- Too late to change the price for that sale

FAQ
Robux tax questions
What is the Roblox tax?
It is Roblox’s fee on a sale, not a government tax. On game passes, developer products, private servers, Robux subscriptions and paid access in Robux, Roblox keeps 30% and you get 70%, as of 18 October 2026.
How much does Roblox take from game passes?
30%. You keep 70% of the price, so a 100 Robux pass pays you 70 Robux after about 5 days pending. Roblox Plus discounts do not lower that: Roblox pays the difference.
Is the Roblox tax 30% or 40%?
Both numbers exist. On passes and developer products Roblox keeps 30%. On avatar items sold inside a game, the creator gets 30%, the game owner 40% and Roblox 30%. On the Marketplace, the creator gets 30% and Roblox keeps the other 70%.
How much does Roblox take from shirts and clothing?
Since 14 July 2026, classic shirts, pants and t-shirts follow the same rules as other avatar items: the creator gets 30%, plus 40% for the game owner when it sells in a game, and both shares are yours in your own game. Before that, classic clothing paid 70%. Uploading costs 80 Robux and publishing classic clothing needs a 10 Robux advance.
How much does Roblox take from UGC items?
The creator gets 30% at the base price. On Marketplace sales, an item priced above its price floor earns more, up to 70% at 6 times the floor. In-game sales always pay the creator the base 30%, plus 40% to the game owner.
How much does Roblox take from donations?
Nothing, when the donation is an in-game Robux transfer: the recipient gets 90% and the game gets 10%. Cross-game pass sales, which donation games used before, ended at the end of May 2026. Robux received from transfers cannot be cashed out through DevEx.
How long do pending Robux take?
About 5 days for game passes, developer products and Robux subscriptions, up to 7 days for paid access in Robux, and 30 days for avatar items. Then they move from pending to your balance.
How do I price a game pass to get a set amount?
Divide the amount you want by 0.7 and round up. To receive 1,000 Robux, price the pass at 1,429. The calculator’s What price to set mode does this for every kind of sale.
Does Roblox take a fee on group payouts?
Roblox lists no fee on group payouts. Its share was already taken when the item sold, and paid out Robux keep their DevEx rate.
Does regional pricing change what I get?
It can change what a buyer pays. With managed pricing, which Roblox turns on by default for new games and newly created items, regional prices sit between 30% and 100% of your default price. Enter the price a buyer actually paid to see your share of that sale.

Make the game that earns it
A 70% share starts with something players want to buy. RoCode, an independent AI agent for Roblox Studio, builds the scripts that sell passes and run a shop, in the place you have open.
The loops are illustrations of what each guide’s finished code does, not recordings of a RoCode run.
Free credits every day, no card. RoCode cannot create passes or spend Robux: you create the pass in Creator Hub, and RoCode writes the scripts that sell it and give its perks. To do it by hand, follow the game pass guide.
