BlockPlayGuide Robux to USD: What Robux Cost vs What They're Worth
Updated 2026-10-06 · 4 min read
“How much is a Robux worth?” has two very different answers. Buying Robux, you pay the package price, which works out to well over a cent per Robux in the packages we checked. Cashing out Robux you earned as a creator, Roblox pays under half a cent each. This page lays out both, with numbers checked against Roblox’s own pages.
There’s no interactive calculator here, on purpose: the tables below are the calculator, and the math is simple enough to do on a phone.
The two rates you need
| Direction | Rate | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Buying Robux | Depends on package and where you buy | Roblox’s Robux page at checkout |
| Cashing out earned Robux (DevEx, standard) | $0.0038 USD per Robux | Roblox’s DevEx help page |
| Cashing out Robux earned before Sept 5, 2025 | $0.0035 USD per Robux | Roblox’s DevEx help page |
| US 18+ DevEx rate (eligible spend, from June 8, 2026) | $0.0054 USD per Robux | Roblox’s DevEx help page |
The US 18+ rate applies only to eligible in-game spending by players over 18 in the United States, and Roblox cashes out that balance first. Most creators should plan with the standard rate.
Buying Robux: package prices
Roblox sells Robux in fixed packages, and you get up to 25% more Robux buying on the web, on a computer or with a gift card than through many app stores. The table below shows the packages on roblox.com/robux as checked on October 6, 2026, alongside what the same Robux would pay out if earned and cashed out through DevEx.
| Package (web) | Robux without web bonus | Price | DevEx value if earned (USD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 270 | 240 | CA$3.99 | $1.03 |
| 500 | 400 | CA$6.99 | $1.90 |
| 1,000 | 800 | CA$13.99 | $3.80 |
| 1,500 | 1,200 | CA$19.99 | $5.70 |
| 2,000 | 1,700 | CA$27.99 | $7.60 |
| 3,625 | 3,150 | CA$49.99 | $13.78 |
| 5,250 | 4,500 | CA$69.99 | $19.95 |
| 11,000 | 10,000 | CA$139.99 | $41.80 |
| 24,000 | 22,500 | CA$279.99 | $91.20 |
Cashing out: DevEx value table
DevEx (Developer Exchange) is how creators turn Earned Robux into real money. At the standard rate:
| Earned Robux | DevEx payout (USD, standard rate) |
|---|---|
| 1,000 | $3.80 |
| 10,000 | $38.00 |
| 30,000 (minimum to cash out) | $114.00 |
| 50,000 | $190.00 |
| 100,000 | $380.00 |
| 1,000,000 | $3,800.00 |
Formula: Earned Robux × 0.0038 = USD. For Robux earned before September 5, 2025, use 0.0035.
DevEx pays in US dollars. Your bank or payment method converts it to CAD at its own rate.
Who can use DevEx
Roblox’s DevEx terms set minimum requirements, including:
- Being 13 or older.
- Having at least 30,000 Earned Robux.
- A Roblox-verified email address.
- A DevEx portal account and the right tax form on file (W-9 for US taxpayers, W-8 for others).
Only Robux earned on Roblox count. Robux you bought, or got as a gift card, can’t be cashed out. For the full process, see DevEx explained.
Quick conversions
- Buying: divide the price by the Robux in the package to get the cost per Robux, then compare packages.
- Earned to USD: multiply by 0.0038.
- USD target to Robux needed: divide by 0.0038. For example, $100 needs about 26,316 earned Robux, but you still need 30,000 to make a cash-out request at all.
Getting Robux the right way
Buying through roblox.com, the Roblox app or a gift card from a real retailer is the only way to get purchased Robux. Creators earn them through things like selling game passes, which starts with Roblox Studio. Every other route is covered in legit ways to get Robux. Any site that “converts” or “generates” Robux for free is a scam; read our guide to free-Robux scams and protect the account with our security checklist.
