Two different taxes are involved: the 30% fee when Robux are earned, and tax withholding when you cash out. Pick your tax situation below to see what you keep.
Before you can cash out, Roblox already keeps 30% of Robux spent on your passes and products, so a 1,000 Robux sale adds 700 Earned Robux. See the Robux tax calculator for that step.
When you cash out, tax withholding can apply depending on the tax form you have on file. This calculator offers the common cases: a US creator with a W-9 (0%), backup withholding (24%), a non-US creator with no treaty (30%) or a treaty rate you enter. For non-US creators, withholding applies only to the share of your earnings that came from US players, so enter that percentage too. Confirm your own situation in Roblox’s tax information.
Worked example
30,000 Earned Robux at the standard rate is $114. A non-US creator with no treaty and 50% of earnings from US players has 30% × 50% = 15% withheld, which is $17.10, leaving $96.90. For the full cash-out tool with mixed balances, use the DevEx calculator.
FAQ
Is there tax on DevEx?
Tax withholding can apply to DevEx payouts depending on your tax forms and country. US creators with a W-9 have 0% withheld; backup withholding is 24%; non-US creators with no treaty have 30% withheld on earnings from US players.
Does withholding apply to all my earnings?
For non-US creators, withholding applies only to the portion of earnings from US players. Enter that percentage in the calculator.
Is the 30% Roblox fee a DevEx tax?
No. The 30% Marketplace Fee comes off sales before you earn Robux. DevEx is the separate step of cashing Earned Robux out for money.
What do I need to cash out?
At least 30,000 Earned Robux, a DevEx account, a verified email, age 13+ and a W-9 or W-8 on file.
