You turn Robux into real money through Roblox's Developer Exchange program (DevEx). In 2026 the standard rate is $0.0038 per Earned Robux, and you need at least 30,000 Earned Robux to cash out, which pays $114. You also need to be at least 13, have a verified email, set up a DevEx account and submit a tax form. You can cash out once a month.
Below is everything that affects how much you actually get: which Robux count, the higher rate for some U.S. purchases, the leftover old rate, and the mistakes that get requests held up.
The 2026 DevEx Rates
| Rate | Per Earned Robux | 30,000 Robux pays |
|---|---|---|
| Standard rate (since September 5, 2025) | $0.0038 | $114 |
| U.S. 18+ rate (since June 8, 2026) | $0.0054 | $162 |
| Old rate (Robux earned before September 5, 2025) | $0.0035 | $105 |
The standard rate went up from $0.0035 to $0.0038 in September 2025. If you still have Robux you earned before that date, Roblox pays those out first at the old rate. You can't skip ahead to the new rate while old-rate Robux are still in your balance.
The U.S. 18+ Rate
Since June 2026, some Robux qualify for a higher rate of $0.0054. They have to come from developer products, passes, subscriptions or private servers, bought by U.S. players who have verified they're 18 or older with a face age estimate or an ID.
There's a catch that surprises a lot of developers: the game itself has to qualify. Player characters must be R15 (or a custom rig that meets Roblox's rules) for the whole time people play, and offering any R6 option, even one players can switch to, makes the game ineligible. Roblox checks this automatically and in the background. The details are on Roblox's U.S. 18+ rate page.
Requirements to Cash Out
According to Roblox's DevEx documentation, you need:
- To be at least 13 years old
- A verified email address on your Roblox account
- A DevEx portal account
- A tax form on file: a W-9 if you're a U.S. taxpayer, a W-8 if you're not
- At least 30,000 Earned Robux
- To follow Roblox's Terms of Use and Community Standards, and agree to the DevEx terms
You don't need Roblox Premium. Older guides say you do. That requirement is gone.
If you're under 18, a parent or guardian will usually need to help with the tax form and the payment account.
What Counts as Earned Robux
Only Earned Robux can be cashed out. These count:
- Sales of game passes, developer products and subscriptions
- Paid private servers and paid access to your game
- Creator Rewards
- Ads shown in your game
- Avatar items you sell in the Marketplace
- Models and plugins you sell in the Creator Store
- Payouts from a group (community), as long as the group's money was earned legitimately
These don't count:
- Robux you bought
- Robux from gift cards
- Monthly Robux from a Premium or Plus subscription
- Robux someone transferred or gifted to you
- Robux from trading or reselling items
- Sales from a template game that nobody really played
- Anything from content that was moderated for breaking the rules
That last group trips people up. If a friend sends you Robux, or you buy Robux and move them around, they never become Earned Robux.
How to Cash Out, Step by Step
- Check your Earned Robux balance in the Creator Hub. It's separate from your total Robux.
- Open the DevEx page from the Creator Hub and start a cash-out request.
- Set up your DevEx portal account the first time. This is where you add your payment details and your W-9 or W-8.
- Choose how many Earned Robux to exchange (at least 30,000) and submit.
- Wait for review. Roblox reviews the request before paying. You can have one completed request per calendar month, so if you were paid in January, your next request can go in from February.
Keep the name on your payment account matching the name on your tax form. A mismatch is one of the most common reasons requests stall, and fixing it can mean contacting Roblox Support and verifying your ID.
How Much Are Robux Worth?
It depends on which way you're going. Players pay roughly a cent or a little more per Robux when they buy them, depending on the bundle. Developers cash out at $0.0038. The gap is how Roblox, app stores and payment fees get paid.
Here's what common amounts of Earned Robux pay out at the standard rate:
| Earned Robux | Payout at $0.0038 |
|---|---|
| 30,000 | $114 |
| 50,000 | $190 |
| 100,000 | $380 |
| 263,158 | $1,000 |
| 1,000,000 | $3,800 |

Tips for Getting Paid Without Problems
- Don't count Robux before they clear. Purchase Robux are held for a few days, and Creator Rewards for 60 days, before they show up as earned.
- Keep your account in good standing. Moderation trouble can suspend DevEx access.
- Plan for taxes. DevEx payments are income. If you're earning regularly, ask a parent or an accountant how it works where you live.
- Pay collaborators the right way. If you share revenue with a team, use a group (community) and its payout tools instead of transferring Robux around.
