How Much Is Robux? Prices, Roblox Plus and What Your Kid Is Actually Buying (November 2026)
TL;DR, bestie
In the US, 1,000 Robux costs $9.99 on the Roblox website or with a $10 gift card. The same money in the mobile app gets you 800. Roblox gives up to 25% more Robux on web, computer and gift cards, and says that's permanent.
Premium is gone. Roblox Plus ($4.99 a month) gives discounts and free private servers but no monthly Robux unless you pick a Plus 500, 1000 or 2000 bundle. If you're a parent, buy in a browser or with a gift card, set a spending limit, and ask what it's for.

This week’s Adopt Me pet costs 99 Robux, and I got three versions of the same question: “how much is that in actual money?” Fair. Robux pricing used to be simple, and in 2026 it really isn’t.
Here’s the honest breakdown, with Roblox’s own help pages as receipts. It’s written for parents first, but teens, you’re welcome too. Maybe forward it before you ask for a gift card.
What Robux actually costs right now
Roblox sells Robux in fixed packs. The price is the same everywhere, but how many Robux you get depends on where you buy. These are US prices from Roblox’s Buy Robux page, cross-checked with two independent price guides on 14 Nov.
| Price (USD) | Web, computer or gift card | Phone or console app |
|---|---|---|
| $4.99 | 500 | 400 |
| $9.99 | 1,000 | 800 |
| $14.99 | 1,500 | 1,200 |
| $19.99 | 2,000 | 1,700 |
| $34.99 | 3,625 | 3,150 |
| $49.99 | 5,250 | 4,500 |
| $99.99 | 11,000 | 10,000 |
| $199.99 | 24,000 | 22,500 |

The quick math for the common packs: on the web, Robux works out to roughly a cent each, or about 100 Robux per dollar. In the app at $9.99, it’s about 80 per dollar.
Outside the US, Roblox prices in your local currency and taxes can change the total. The number on your own checkout screen is the one that counts. The web-versus-app gap still applies everywhere, because Roblox's help page says the up to 25% bonus is global.
Why the browser gives you more
Roblox’s own help page says that when you buy on the web, on computers or with gift cards, you get up to 25% more Robux. It also says this isn’t a limited-time promo. Roblox plans to keep the pricing in place globally.
Roblox’s announcement gave the clearest example. $9.99 on the web or a gift card used to buy 800 Robux, and now it buys 1,000. A $10 gift card gets the same 1,000. You can literally see it on Roblox’s own gift card art, which prints “800 + 200 Bonus Robux” on the $10 card.
If your kid buys Robux inside the phone app, you're paying for fewer Robux every single time. Buying on a computer or with a gift card is the single easiest money tip in this whole post, and it costs you nothing.
Roblox Plus vs the old Premium
This is where a lot of parents are working from old info. Roblox Plus launched globally on 30 April 2026, and Roblox stopped selling Premium the same day.
| Feature | Roblox Plus | Old Premium (existing members) |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly Robux | None on plain Plus; 500, 1,000 or 2,000 with a bundle | Yes |
| Discount on items | 10%, rising to 20% from the third straight month | No |
| Free private servers | Yes (one per game since 24 Sep) | No |
| Send Robux with no fee | Yes (with age and parent rules) | No |
| 10% bonus when buying Robux | No | Ended after 30 May 2026 |
| Can you still buy it? | Yes | No |

Roblox’s Buy Robux page lists plain Plus at $4.99 a month, with the Plus 500, Plus 1000 and Plus 2000 bundles priced above that. The bundles are basically Plus plus a monthly Robux top-up in one payment.
Is Roblox Plus worth it?
My honest take: plain Plus is worth it for kids who already spend Robux every month, because the discount and free private servers add up. It’s not worth it for a kid who buys something twice a year. That kid is better off with a gift card on birthdays.
One thing parents should know: sending Robux to other players under Plus needs everyone involved to be age-verified and 18+, and for under-18s a parent or caregiver has to approve it. That’s a good rule. Kids being pressured to “send Robux” is a classic scam setup.
What kids actually spend Robux on
“Robux” sounds like one thing, but it goes to very different places. Here are real prices from games I cover, so you can picture it.
- A new pet: Adopt Me's Pupcicle is 99 Robux. My honest take on whether it's worth it is up today.
- A permanent upgrade: an Adopt Me Ride potion is 130 Robux and a Fly potion is 255.
- A big event pet: Halloween's Jester Dragon was 1,000 Robux, which is $9.99 of web Robux in one tap.
- Game passes: one-time unlocks like Brookhaven's passes. My Brookhaven game passes ranked covers which ones I'd skip.
- Avatar items: clothes, hair and accessories from the Marketplace.
- Private servers: a paid way to play with only friends (free with Plus).
The question I’d ask your kid isn’t “how much?” but “is it a one-time thing or a thing you’ll want again next week?” Pets and passes are usually one-time. Avatar shopping and mystery boxes are the ones that drain a balance.
Gift cards: the parent-friendly way to pay
Roblox gift cards are my favorite way for families to buy Robux. You get the web bonus, no credit card sits on the account, and the kid has a clear budget.
- Pick a card. Physical cards come in set amounts, and digital codes arrive by email.
- Redeem in a browser at roblox.com/redeem. Roblox's gift card page says Amazon digital codes can only be redeemed for Robux, not general credit.
- Check the free item. Each card comes with a virtual item, limited to one per account per month.
- Don't worry about expiry. Roblox says its gift cards don't expire.
Roblox also sells a Party Pack (25 cards of 200 Robux each) and a Mini Pack (40 coins of 50 Robux each). Those are great for stocking stuffers or chore rewards, though Roblox says they’re only in some regions.
If you’re choosing between card types, I compared them in digital or physical Roblox gift card.
If you or a parent want to buy something
Heads up: the Amazon links below are affiliate links. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases, at no extra cost to you. How I pick (and what I never link).
- Roblox Digital Gift Card, 1,000 Robux: sold by Amazon itself, US customers only, redeems for Robux at roblox.com/redeem.
- Roblox Physical Gift Card: a card you can actually wrap. In stock when I checked, sold by Amazon's own gift card company.
Parent checklist
- Set a monthly spending limit. My spending limits guide walks through it.
- Turn on parental controls and check who can message your kid. Steps are in my parental controls guide.
- Remove saved cards from phones and consoles if purchases keep surprising you.
- Talk about Robux like real money, because it is.
Scam check: Roblox's own help page says there's no such thing as a Robux generator, and free Robux doesn't exist. Anyone selling "cheap Robux," asking for a gift card code, or promising Robux for a password is scamming. Never read a gift card PIN to someone you don't know. More examples are in my free Robux scams guide.
My bottom line
Robux costs about a cent each when you buy the smart way, and noticeably more when you buy in a phone app. Gift cards are the best mix of value and control for most families. Plus is a decent deal for regular spenders, and Premium is a thing of the past.
And if anyone tells you they can get you 10,000 Robux for $5, that’s not a deal. That’s a dial-up-era chain email in a new outfit.
