How This Robux Tax Calculator Works
This tool simplifies understanding Roblox's marketplace fee structure for sellers.
- Enter Amount: Input the Robux (R$) amount relevant to your calculation in the input field.
- Choose Calculation Type:
- Click "Calculate Net Received" if the amount you entered is the listing price of an item you plan to sell. The calculator will show how much Robux you'll actually receive after the 30% fee is deducted.
- Click "Calculate Listing Price" if the amount you entered is the amount of Robux you want to receive after the tax. The calculator will show the minimum amount you need to list the item for to achieve that net earning.
- View Result: The calculated amount, clearly labeled, will appear in the result box below the buttons.
The calculations use the standard formulas:
- Net Received = Listing Price × 0.70 (Since 30% is deducted)
- Listing Price = Desired Net Amount / 0.70 (Rounded up, as you can't list fractions of Robux)
What is the Roblox "Tax"? Understanding the 30% Fee
On Roblox, the term "tax" typically refers to the 30% marketplace fee automatically deducted by the platform whenever a user sells certain items. This applies to transactions like:
- Selling clothing (shirts, pants, T-shirts) in the Avatar Shop.
- Selling accessories and other UGC (User-Generated Content) items.
- Selling Game Passes for an experience (game).
- Selling Developer Products within an experience.
Example: If you create a shirt and list it for 100 R$, when someone buys it, Roblox takes 30 R$ (30% of 100), and you receive 70 R$ in your account balance (usually after a pending period).
This fee is crucial for Roblox's operation, funding aspects such as:
- Server infrastructure and maintenance to host millions of experiences.
- Platform development, including new features for players and creators.
- Content moderation and safety systems to protect users.
- Customer support and operational costs.
While it reduces the direct earnings per sale, this fee structure supports the overall ecosystem that enables creators to monetize their work on a massive scale.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is the Roblox tax always 30%?
Yes, for the standard marketplace transactions involving user-created items like clothing, game passes, and developer products sold directly by creators, the fee deducted by Roblox is consistently 30%.
Does this calculator account for real-world income taxes?
No. This calculator only deals with the in-game Robux marketplace fee deducted by Roblox. It does not calculate or account for any real-world income taxes you might owe on earnings cashed out through the Developer Exchange (DevEx) program. Income tax obligations depend on your country's tax laws, your total income, and your status as a creator/business. Consult a tax professional for advice on real-world taxes.
Does this apply to Robux earned from Premium Payouts?
No. Premium Payouts (Robux earned based on the engagement time of Premium subscribers in your experience) are distributed directly to creators and are not subject to the 30% marketplace fee. The amount shown in your Premium Payouts report is the amount you receive.
What about group payouts? Is there tax on those?
When Robux is paid out from a group's funds to its members, there isn't an additional 30% tax applied *during the payout itself*. However, the Robux originally earned by the group (e.g., from selling group-owned clothing or game passes) would have already had the 30% marketplace fee deducted when the initial sale occurred.
Why do I need to round up when calculating the listing price?
Roblox only allows items to be listed for whole Robux amounts (integers). When calculating the listing price needed to receive a specific amount (e.g., you want 100 R$ net), the formula `Desired Amount / 0.7` often results in a decimal (e.g., 100 / 0.7 = 142.85...). Since you can't list for 142.85 R$, you must round up to the next whole number (143 R$) to ensure you receive *at least* your target amount after the 30% fee is taken from the listed price.
Does this tax apply if I trade items with other users?
The 30% marketplace fee generally applies to direct sales for Robux, not typically to direct peer-to-peer trading of Limited items using the Roblox trading system. However, the trading system itself might have its own mechanics or requirements (like Premium membership).
