How the Roblox gamepass tax works
Roblox charges a 30% marketplace fee on every gamepass sale. Flat rate, no exceptions.
Formula: Net Robux = FLOOR(Price × 0.70)
You keep 70% of whatever you listed. Always. The FLOOR means Roblox rounds down so if the math produces a decimal, it goes to Roblox, not you. On larger amounts this barely matters. On a 25-Robux gamepass, you feel it.
This Roblox gamepass tax applies to game passes, developer products, clothing, catalog items, and private server subscriptions. The one thing it does NOT apply to: Premium Payouts Roblox’s engagement-based revenue share for games with Premium-subscribed players. That’s the only tax-free Robux income stream on the platform.
Gamepass tax vs. Pls Donate tax — what’s the difference?
| Type | Roblox fee | Game cut | Total tax | You keep |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Regular gamepass | 30% | 0% | 30% | 70% |
| Inside Pls Donate | 30% | 10% | 40% | 60% |
A standard gamepass sold via Roblox.com or inside your own game: 30%, you keep 70%.
A gamepass sold inside Pls Donate: 40% total. Roblox still takes its 30%, then the Pls Donate developer takes an additional 10% as a platform commission. That extra 10% only applies inside donation-game environments, not on regular gamepass sales.

How much should you charge to earn a specific amount?
Most creators price forward: “I’ll list at 1,000 Robux, what do I get?” The smarter move is backward: “I want 700 Robux per sale, what do I list at?”
Reverse formula: Listing Price = CEILING(Target ÷ 0.70)
- Want 700 Robux? → CEILING(700 ÷ 0.70) = CEILING(1,000) = 1,000 Robux ✓
- Want 1,000 Robux? → CEILING(1,000 ÷ 0.70) = CEILING(1,428.57) = 1,429 Robux
- Want 350 Robux? → CEILING(350 ÷ 0.70) = CEILING(500) = 500 Robux ✓
CEILING means you round up, which protects against FLOOR rounding eating into your target on the other end. If you round your listing price down, you’ll land 1 Robux short of your goal. The Roblox gamepass tax calculator above also handles reverse pricing — type in what you want to receive, it tells you what to list.
What is the 30% gamepass tax used for?
Roblox’s 30% covers platform infrastructure — servers, payment processing, moderation, and the discovery tools that surface your game to players. It’s also their margin.
The rate isn’t unusual. As Roblox notes in their Developer Forum, the 30% Roblox gamepass tax became uniform for all users in April 2020 — previously, non-Premium users paid 90%. The current 30% has held steady since then. Apple’s App Store takes 30%. Steam takes 30% on the first $10M. Same logic, different platform.
What this means practically: the fee is stable. Price your gamepasses knowing 30% is the permanent cost of distribution on Roblox. It’s not going away, and it’s not going up.
Gamepass tax and DevEx — real money calculations
Earned Robux from gamepass sales can eventually be cashed out via Roblox’s Developer Exchange (DevEx) program. Here’s how the math chains together after the Roblox gamepass tax:
Standard DevEx rate (post Sep 5, 2025): $0.0038 per Earned Robux US 18+ special rate (as of June 8, 2026): $0.0054 per Earned Robux Minimum to cash out: 30,000 Earned Robux
Example with a 1,000 Robux gamepass:
- Player pays 1,000 Robux
- Roblox takes 300 Robux (30%)
- You receive 700 Earned Robux
- Via DevEx at standard rate: 700 × $0.0038 = $2.66 USD
At scale, 1,000 sales of that same gamepass:
- 700,000 Earned Robux
- $2,660 USD at standard rate
- $3,780 USD if you qualify for the US 18+ rate

Common gamepass pricing tiers
What actually sells at each tier, and what you net after the roblox gamepass tax:
25–99 Robux — Small cosmetic perks: emotes, visual effects, minor badges. Net: 17–69 Robux per sale. Low friction for impulse buys; high volume required to accumulate meaningful Earned Robux.
100–499 Robux — Meaningful upgrades: VIP area access, speed boosts, extra inventory slots. Net: 70–349 Robux. The sweet spot for most casual-to-mid games. Players expect real value at this tier.
500–1,500 Robux — Game-changing passes: flight, all weapons, admin commands, permanent XP boosts. Net: 350–1,050 Robux. Requires a well-established player base willing to invest.
1,500+ Robux — Premium and endgame passes. Net: 1,050+ Robux. Works in games with dedicated communities and clear pay-to-win value. Hard to sell cold in a new game.
After the 30% gamepass tax: a 100 Robux pass earns you 70 Robux. A 1,000 Robux pass earns 700 Robux. Planning your DevEx cashout timeline? Check our Robux to USD Calculator → to see how many sales you need to hit the 30,000 Robux minimum.
