Roblox Premium break-even calculator
Pick a Premium tier and enter how many Robux you'd buy without it. The calculator tells you whether the subscription pays for itself in stipend alone, or only with purchases factored in.
How Premium pays for itself
Roblox Premium is a monthly subscription with three benefits worth pricing:
- A monthly Robux stipend (450, 1000, or 2200 depending on tier).
- A 10% bonus on Robux purchases.
- Trading and Limited-marketplace access (a qualitative benefit this tool doesn't price).
The stipend alone usually doesn't break even at face value: 450 Robux is worth roughly $5.62 at the in-store purchase rate, and that's a tier with a $4.99 sticker price — so you're slightly ahead in Robux, but you committed to a monthly recurring charge. At the 1000 and 2200 tiers, the stipend's purchase-rate value clearly beats the subscription price.
The 10% bonus on Robux purchases is the lever that tilts the math for buyers. If you'd normally spend $20 / month on Robux, Premium gets you an extra 10% Robux on that spend — which on a 1000 Robux subscription often pushes the total benefit comfortably over the subscription cost.
When to skip Premium
- You're not actively trading and you rarely buy Robux. The stipend on Premium 450 isn't worth a recurring charge.
- You only play occasionally and don't have Robux-priced wishlists.
When Premium probably pays off
- You spend on Robux regularly — even a $9.99 / month buyer captures most of the 10% bonus benefit.
- You trade Limited items. Trading access is Premium-gated.
- You play games that include Premium-only perks.
FAQ
What's the Robux stipend's real value?
Robux from the stipend is identical in-platform to bought Robux. It can be spent on anything Robux buys, and it's not DevEx-eligible (stipend Robux is not earned developer revenue).
Does Premium auto-renew?
Yes, on the same monthly schedule. Cancel before the renewal date if you don't want to continue. This calculator assumes monthly cost.
Does the 10% bonus apply to gift cards?
The 10% bonus applies to in-store Robux purchases. Roblox gift card top-ups follow card terms; check the small print on the specific card.
