Limited resale profit calculator
Flipping a Roblox limited only works if the resale clears Roblox's 30% marketplace fee. Enter what you paid and your asking price to see what you actually keep — and whether it's a profit or a loss.

How the limited resale calculator works
When you sell a limited through Roblox's official system, Roblox takes a 30% marketplace fee out of the sale price. So a limited that lists for 1,000 Robux only puts 700 Robux in your pocket. That fee is the single thing most new resellers forget, and it is why a flip that looks even on paper is usually a loss.
The math is simple. Your sale price, minus 30%, is what you keep. What you keep, minus what you paid, is your profit. Divided by what you paid, that is your return on cost. The break-even line is the sale price where your 70% take exactly equals what you spent — anything below it loses money. This tool runs all four numbers as you type, and shows the profit in real dollars at the DevEx rate as a rough sense of scale.
The fee comes from this site's shared constants file
(/assets/js/lib/roblox-constants.js), the same 30% used by the
Marketplace Tax Calculator,
so every tool here agrees on the rate.
Why break-even is higher than you think
To break even after a 30% fee, you have to sell for your cost divided by 0.7 — about 43% above what you paid. Buy a limited at 1,000 Robux and you need to sell at roughly 1,430 just to get your Robux back, before any profit. That is the reseller's real hurdle, and it is why patient buying (getting in well below value) matters more than optimistic selling.
Worked example
You buy a limited for 1,000 Robux and list it at 1,500. The fee is 450 Robux (30% of 1,500), so you keep 1,050. Your profit is 50 Robux — a thin 5% return, and only because you sold 50% above cost. List it at 1,300 instead and you keep 910, a 90-Robux loss. The calculator makes that cliff obvious before you commit.
What this tool is not
This is the math on a single resale, not trading advice or a value estimate. Whether a limited will actually sell at your price depends on demand, and a high RAP does not guarantee a buyer — projected items can sit unsold for weeks. The DevEx dollar figure is a rough scale only; you can't cash out Robux you bought, just Robux earned through developer or group payouts. And no site offering free or discounted Robux is real — those are scams.
FAQ
How much is the Roblox marketplace fee?
30% of the sale price on limited and marketplace transactions. The seller receives the remaining 70%.
What sell price do I need to break even?
Your cost divided by 0.7, which is about 43% above what you paid. The calculator shows the exact break-even figure for your numbers.
Is the profit in real money?
The USD figure uses the DevEx cashout rate as a rough scale. In practice you can only cash out Robux earned through developer or group payouts, not Robux you bought or traded for, so treat it as illustrative.
Does a high RAP mean it will sell?
No. RAP is a lagging average and can be manipulated. Demand decides whether a limited actually sells at your price; price it against real recent sales, not RAP alone.
