DevEx calculator: Robux to USD

How DevEx cashout works

DevEx, the Roblox Developer Exchange Program, is the only sanctioned route for turning Robux into money. You submit a request from the Creator Hub (Finances, then Cash Out), Roblox removes the Robux from your balance while it reviews the request, and if the request is approved the payment goes out in US dollars through Roblox's payment processor. The exchange rate is set by Roblox, not by a market: $0.0038 per Earned Robux, which is $380 for every 100,000 Robux and $114 for the 30,000 Robux minimum. For most balances that is the whole formula, Robux times $0.0038, and the calculator adds a check that you are at or above the minimum and a count of how far you are from the next round 100,000. Two other rates apply to part of some balances; the two optional fields price those Robux in the order Roblox cashes them out, explained below.

Who qualifies is spelled out in Roblox's DevEx documentation and the Developer Exchange Terms of Use, both re-read on October 15, 2026. You must be at least 13, hold at least 30,000 Earned Robux, have a Roblox-verified email address, have a DevEx portal account, have an IRS form W-9 (US taxpayers) or W-8 (everyone else) on file, and be in compliance with the Terms of Use and Community Standards. Roblox reviews eligibility after you submit, not before, and will not pre-confirm that an account qualifies. A completed request is allowed once per calendar month, and a submitted request cannot be cancelled.

"Earned Robux" is the phrase that decides most eligibility questions. Roblox counts Robux from selling passes, developer products, subscriptions, paid access and private servers in a game, its fees on in-game purchases of Marketplace items and on Robux transfers made through the Transfer API, Roblox Plus incentives, avatar items on the Marketplace, models and plugins on the Creator Store, ad revenue and affiliate fees, and Creator Rewards. It does not count Robux you bought, gift-card redemptions, the monthly grant from a Premium or Plus subscription, Robux received through transfers, anything made by trading or reselling items you did not create, passes sold for template games with no real visits, or earnings from content that was moderated. Group payouts count when the group's funds came from bona fide sales. The DevEx dashboard in the Creator Hub shows an estimate of your Earned Robux; the two Roblox pages that describe it disagree on how fast it updates (up to 24 hours on the creator docs, up to 72 on the help center), so treat the figure as a lagging one. This calculator assumes the number you type is already eligible.

The DevEx rate, three ways

The same rate reads differently depending on which direction you are converting, so here it is all three ways, each computed from the $380-per-100,000 figure in this site's constants file:

• Dollars per Robux: $0.0038.
• Robux per dollar: about 263 (100,000 ÷ 380 = 263.16). Every dollar of payout takes 263 Earned Robux.
• Dollars per 100,000 Robux: $380.

Roblox also runs a higher US 18+ rate of $0.0054 per Robux ($540 per 100,000, about 42% above standard) on in-game spend by age-checked US players 18 and older in games that meet its avatar requirements; it went live on June 8, 2026. Most balances have none, so the calculator assumes none unless you enter an amount in the 18+ field. When you do, those Robux are priced first, because Roblox cashes the 18+ rate out before every other rate.

DevEx rate history

Roblox's current documentation records exactly one change. Before September 5, 2025 at 10 am Pacific the standard rate was $0.0035 per Robux ($350 per 100,000, or $105 at the minimum); Roblox raised it to $0.0038 that day, announced at RDC 2025 as an 8.5% increase. The old rate still applies to any Earned Robux you held before the cutover: those balances cash out first, at $0.0035, before any newer earnings cash out at $0.0038, and spending Robux does not clear the old-rate balance. If a payout lands under what a flat $0.0038 predicts, that is the usual reason; enter the old-rate balance in the calculator to see by how much. Earlier rates are not documented on any current Roblox page, so this page does not quote them.

Mixed balances: which Robux cash out first

A balance can hold Robux at three rates, and a request does not get to choose among them. Roblox's creator documentation and its help center (both read October 15, 2026) set the order:

1. US 18+ rate, $0.0054. In the help center's words, "the US 18+ DevEx rate will cash out before all other rates." Group payouts carry the rate with them.
2. Old rate, $0.0035. Earned Robux from before 10 am Pacific on September 5, 2025. All of them must clear before any Robux at the current rate can cash out.
3. Standard rate, $0.0038. Everything else.

The calculator takes the amount you request from those buckets in that order. Say a request is for 100,000 Robux, from a balance holding 10,000 Robux at the 18+ rate and 40,000 from before the cutover. The first 10,000 pay $54.00, the next 40,000 pay $140.00 and the last 50,000 pay $190.00: $384.00 in all, $4.00 more than a flat 100,000 × $0.0038, a blended $0.00384 per Robux. The 18+ Robux add $16.00 over the standard rate and the old-rate Robux take away $12.00.

The old rate can also take a whole request. A creator holding 80,000 old-rate Robux who requests 60,000 is paid entirely at $0.0035: $210.00, not the $228.00 the standard rate suggests, and the other 20,000 old-rate Robux still sit at the front of the queue for next month. Spending does not help, because Roblox deducts spent Robux from the total balance, not from the old-rate part. The only way through the old-rate Robux is to cash them out.

When to use it

• You're deciding whether to cash out now or wait until you're at a round 100k.
• You want a realistic dollar number to plan around — taxes, processor fees, and your local conversion will all eat a little.
• You're estimating future revenue from a game and want to translate Robux projections into dollars.

Worked example

You have 250,000 eligible Robux. Type it in and the three cells read Above minimum? Yes, USD payout $950.00 (250,000 × $0.0038, with the line "at $0.0038 / Robux" underneath), and Robux short of next 100k: 50,000 — the distance to 300,000, which would pay $1,140.00. Cash out now and the request is worth $950.00; wait for the round number and it is worth $190.00 more, which only makes sense if the extra 50,000 would arrive before next month's slot anyway, since you can only complete one request per month.

The same page with 24,000 Robux reads No in the eligibility cell, $91.20 in the payout cell (what the balance would be worth if it qualified) and 76,000 short of 100,000. You cannot submit at 24,000: the 30,000 minimum is a hard floor in Roblox's form, not a rounding guideline. At exactly 30,000 the payout is $114.00, which is the figure Roblox itself uses to illustrate the rate.

DevEx rate table — Robux to USD

The DevEx rate is a flat $0.0038 per Robux ($380 per 100,000). Common cashout amounts at or above the 30,000 Robux minimum, each one Robux times the rate:

Below 30,000 Robux you can't initiate a DevEx cashout at all. Only earned developer Robux is eligible — see the Robux to USD converter for the buy-side rate, which is more than three times higher.

How many Robux for a DevEx payout?

Working backwards, divide the payout you want by the rate and round up to the next whole Robux. At the standard rate every dollar takes 263.16 Earned Robux, at the old rate 285.71, and at the 18+ rate 185.19. These are gross payouts, before the processor fees below:

Each figure is the smallest whole number of Robux whose payout reaches the target. The 30,000 minimum applies to a request as a whole, so a $100 payout is not possible at the standard rate on its own: the smallest request pays $114.00. A balance that mixes rates needs a number in between; the calculator gives the exact payout for any mix.

Payout timeline and fees

Submitting is only the first step. Roblox's published estimates are around 10 business days for a first-time participant and around 5 for a returning one, with no processing on weekends or holidays. First-timers receive an invitation to the DevEx Portal (run by Tipalti) after approval and must add a payment method and tax form within one week, or the request is declined and the Robux refunded. The portal pays by ACH, eCheck, PayPal, wire or paper check depending on country, and the money then takes its own time to land: 3 to 5 business days for ACH or eCheck, 2 to 3 for PayPal, 1 to 5 for a wire, 7 to 14 for a check.

Roblox says it adds no fee of its own, but the processor charges per payment and the fee comes out of the payout. The published PayPal schedule is $1 plus 2% capped at $21 for international payments and $0.10 plus 2% capped at $1 for US domestic ones; converting to a local currency adds a foreign-exchange fee of 1.9% to 3%. Bank-method fees are shown inside the portal rather than on a public page, so they are not quoted here. On the $950.00 payout above, the international PayPal cap alone is 2.2%.

What this calculator cannot see

It does the arithmetic and nothing else. It does not know how much of your balance Roblox will classify as earned, how much of it is at the old or 18+ rate unless you enter those figures, or whether your account passes the compliance review. It shows the gross dollar figure before processor fees and before tax: Roblox treats DevEx payments as payment for services, reports US payouts over $600 on a 1099-NEC, and leaves the tax liability with you regardless of country — income earned by a minor can affect a parent's return. Payouts are made in US dollars; if you take local currency, the FX fee above and the processor's exchange rate apply. Roblox can change the rate, the minimum or the eligibility rules by updating its terms, and an account with no sign-in for two and a half years drops out of the program and must re-apply.
