Robux Tax Calculator

Why you get less than the sale price

Players pay one number. You get a smaller number. Roblox keeps a cut, then rounds down to a whole Robux. A 5 Robux pass pays 3, not 4. A 99 Robux pass pays 69, not 70.

This calculator does that math for you. Use “I know the sale price” to see what you keep. Use “I know how much I want” to see what to charge.

Want to keep 500 Robux from a game pass? Sell it for 715, not 714. Pick “I know how much I want” and the calculator finds the price for you.

Game passes, developer products, and private servers

For in-experience purchases that Roblox treats as standard monetization — game passes, developer products, paid access, and private server subscriptions — the published split is simple: the platform keeps 30% of the list price and you keep 70%, floored to a whole Robux. A 100 Robux pass therefore credits 70. A 1,000 Robux product credits 700. There is no regional modifier on that Robux-to-Robux step. A creator in Manila and a creator in Dallas receive the same 140 from a 200 Robux pass.

Developer products follow the same keep rate as passes. If your economy sells a 25 Robux revive, do not budget 17.5 into a spreadsheet as if Roblox will round in your favor. Floor(25 × 0.7) is 17. Price in whole Robux with the floor in mind, or use the reverse mode and let the desk bump the list price until the floored keep meets your target.

Private servers are easy to under-price for the same reason. A 99 Robux/month reserved server looks tidy in the prompt and pays 69. If the reserved-server feature is the actual product — a roleplay community that lives there — model the 69, not the 99, before you promise a staff cut or a Discord perk tied to that income.

Quick examples

Figures use floor(price × 0.7). The platform column is list minus credited amount, so it can absorb the discarded fraction.

Avatar items are a different contract

Copying the 70/30 pass rule onto a shirt, hair, or bundle is the most expensive pricing mistake on the Marketplace. Creator Hub documents a progressive creator share for catalog sales. At the item’s price floor you keep about 30% of the sale. As the list price rises relative to that floor, your share climbs. Around 2× floor it is near 50%. Around 6× floor it reaches the 70% cap. The interpolation on this desk follows the published ladder (1× → 30%, 1.3× → 37%, 1.5× → 41%, 2× → 50%, 2.5× → 57%, 3× → 62%, 3.5× → 65%, 4× → 67%, 5× → 69%, 6×+ → 70%).

Example: a shirt with a 100 Robux floor listed at 200 is 2× floor. Creator share is about 50%, so you keep 100, not 140. The “missing” 40 is not a bug. It is the progressive schedule doing what the docs say. Enter the current floor for that asset type — floors differ by category and can change — then read the keep percentage on the slip.

Sales that happen inside an experience (Avatar Editor, inspect menu, or MarketplaceService) do not use that ladder. Those purchases split 30% creator / 40% experience owner / 30% Roblox. If you are the item creator and someone else owns the place, you keep 30% of the list, floored. If you own both the item and the place, you still only keep the creator 30% in this mode; the 40% owner share is a separate bucket. Switch the sale type to “UGC in an experience” so the slip shows the owner line.

Confirm live floors and commissions on Creator Hub marketplace fees before you publish. This desk approximates the ladder; Roblox’s production system is the authority if a doc update lands after August 2026.

Robux in trades

When a trade offer includes Robux, that Robux is not a free add-on. It uses the same 30% platform fee as a pass, then the floor. Offer 1,000 Robux and the other account is credited 700. Offer 5 and they receive 3. If you are balancing a limited-item trade with “a little Robux to make it fair,” run the trade type on this desk so the sticker amount matches the credit the other player will actually see.

Reverse pricing without the spreadsheet guess

Dividing your target by 0.7 and rounding feels right and is often one Robux short. The desk instead starts from ceil(target / keepRate) and increments until floor(list × keepRate) is at least the target. For catalog UGC the keep rate itself depends on the list price, so the search is not a single division. It raises the candidate price until the progressive share, after flooring, covers what you typed.

Use reverse mode when a group payout, a commission, or a content budget is a fixed Robux number. Example: you promised a scripter 2,000 Robux from pass sales this week. You still need to cover the platform cut. From amount kept, sale type game pass, target 2,000 → list 2,858 (because 2,857 floors to 1,999). Price the pass (or the number of products) against 2,858 of player spend, not against 2,000.

Donation booths and extra game cuts

Experiences such as PLS Donate typically collect gifts through a game pass, so Roblox’s 70/30 floor applies first. Many booth games then take their own percentage — commonly around 10% of what you received, though each game sets its own rules. Combined, the recipient might see something closer to 60% of the player’s spend. This desk stops at Roblox’s cut. If the booth UI shows a second fee, subtract that yourself from the credited amount.

That distinction matters for “raise 10,000 Robux” goals. Ten thousand after Roblox tax is 14,286 of pass spend (floor math). If the booth also keeps 10% of the 70% credit, you need still more player spend. Do not treat a donation game’s on-screen “you received” as interchangeable with this slip unless you have confirmed they are showing the post-Roblox figure.

This is not sales tax, VAT, or GST

Players sometimes call the marketplace cut “Roblox tax.” It is a revenue share on creator and player-to-player sales, not a government sales tax on buying Robux. Card-network VAT, Apple or Google store tax, and any GST on a Robux purchase are separate bills between the player, the store, and Roblox. They do not change the 70% keep on a pass. If you later cash out Earned Robux, that is a third step: DevEx converts a qualified balance to USD at a published rate. Use the DevEx calculator for that conversion. Do not multiply a list price by $0.0038 and call it take-home; the marketplace floor happens first.

What this desk will not invent

It will not apply Premium payouts, engagement-based Creator Rewards, or regional DevEx premiums. It will not guess unpublished floor changes for a new asset type. It will not add a donation-game’s house cut. Amounts stay in your browser; there is no account and no calculation history uploaded to rbxcalc.net — see the privacy policy.
