🧮 Robux Tax Calculator
Calculate Robux after the 30% marketplace fee
Understanding the 30% Roblox Tax
Roblox charges a 30% marketplace fee on all transactions where players sell items or game passes to other players. This includes:
- Game pass sales – When someone buys your game pass
- Item sales – Clothing, accessories, and other marketplace items
- Donations – Via PLS DONATE and similar games (game passes)
- Developer products – In-game purchases in your experiences
This fee is Roblox's cut for providing the platform, payment processing, and infrastructure. It's automatically deducted – you never see the full amount in your account.
The Formula
Quick Reference Table
| Sale Price | Roblox Takes (30%) | You Receive (70%) |
|---|---|---|
| 10 R$ | 3 R$ | 7 R$ |
| 25 R$ | 7-8 R$ | 17-18 R$ |
| 50 R$ | 15 R$ | 35 R$ |
| 100 R$ | 30 R$ | 70 R$ |
| 250 R$ | 75 R$ | 175 R$ |
| 500 R$ | 150 R$ | 350 R$ |
| 1,000 R$ | 300 R$ | 700 R$ |
| 5,000 R$ | 1,500 R$ | 3,500 R$ |
| 10,000 R$ | 3,000 R$ | 7,000 R$ |
Reverse Calculation: Friend Needs X Robux
If you want to donate Robux to a friend and they need a specific amount, you need to account for the 30% fee. Use this formula:
Reverse Formula
For example, if your friend needs 100 Robux:
- 100 ÷ 0.70 = 143 Robux (rounded up)
- You buy a 143 R$ game pass → Friend receives ~100 R$
Common Reverse Calculations
| Friend Needs | Game Pass Price | They Actually Get |
|---|---|---|
| 50 R$ | 72 R$ | ~50 R$ |
| 100 R$ | 143 R$ | ~100 R$ |
| 200 R$ | 286 R$ | ~200 R$ |
| 500 R$ | 715 R$ | ~500 R$ |
| 1,000 R$ | 1,429 R$ | ~1,000 R$ |
Ways to Avoid the 30% Fee
The marketplace fee applies to all standard transactions, but there are two exceptions:
1. Group Payouts (0% Fee)
If you own a Roblox group with earned funds (from group game sales), you can pay out to members with no fee. However, you can't deposit personal Robux into a group – the funds must be earned.
2. Gift Cards (0% Fee)
Instead of using Robux, you can purchase a Roblox gift card and give your friend the code. They receive the full value – no fee deducted. This costs real money but avoids the 30% loss.
💡 When to Use Gift Cards Instead
For large transfers, gift cards save money. Example: To give a friend 700 Robux via game pass, you'd spend 1,000 R$. A £10 gift card gives them 800 Robux directly – better value!
