How to use the calculator
- Pick the amount. Tap $5, $10, $15 or $20, Roblox’s $4.99 to $19.99 packs rounded up, or drag the slider anywhere from $1 to $50.
- Read the Robux. The green line gives the Robux that money buys on roblox.com, and which packs.
- Read the list together. Under it, what the same dollars buy instead, in whole items the money covers.
- Set the monthly budget. Pick one dollar amount a month; the table below turns it into Robux.
How many Robux $5, $10, $20 or $50 buys
At the U.S. prices on Roblox’s Robux page, read October 2026, in whole packs:
| You spend | Packs it covers | Robux |
|---|---|---|
| $5 | One $4.99 pack | 500 |
| $10 | One $9.99 pack | 1,000 |
| $15 | One $14.99 pack | 1,500 |
| $20 | One $19.99 pack | 2,000 |
| $25 | One $19.99 pack and one $4.99 pack | 2,500 |
| $50 | One $49.99 pack | 5,250 |
| $100 | One $99.99 pack | 11,000 |
Roblox lists each pack as a base amount plus extra Robux (“Enjoy up to 25% more Robux”): the $9.99 pack is 800 plus 200 more, and the totals here include the extra. That is about 100 Robux a dollar on the $4.99 to $19.99 packs, 110 on the $99.99 pack and 120 on the $199.99 pack.
Set a monthly Robux budget
Pick one dollar amount for Robux, the same each month, and let your kid choose the packs inside it. The Roblox spending guide explains why, and suggests $5 to $15 a month for a preteen. In Robux:
| Budget a month | Robux packs it covers | Robux a month | Over a year |
|---|---|---|---|
| $5 | One $4.99 pack | 500 | $60, 6,000 Robux |
| $10 | One $9.99 pack, or two $4.99 packs | 1,000 | $120, 12,000 Robux |
| $15 | One $14.99 pack, or a $9.99 and a $4.99 | 1,500 | $180, 18,000 Robux |
| $20 | One $19.99 pack, or a $14.99 and a $4.99 | 2,000 | $240, 24,000 Robux |
Roblox Plus, its monthly subscription, was $4.99 a month on the same page, and its bundles that add Robux every month were $8.99 (500 Robux), $12.99 (1,000 Robux), $21.99 (2,000 Robux) a month: a subscription belongs inside the same budget.
A worked example: a $10 budget from a $10 allowance
A $10 weekly allowance split 50 / 40 / 10 puts $4 a week in Spend, about $17 a month. A $10 Robux budget is a little over half of that, which leaves about $7 a month for everything else your kid buys. (The save, spend, give calculator works out the Spend jar for any allowance.)
At $10 the calculator shows 1,000 Robux, one $9.99 pack: 12,000 Robux over a year. The same money also buys 1 new paperback book, 1 kid matinee movie ticket or 2 weeks of a $5 Spend-jar allowance. If the pack still wins after that list is read out loud, it is this month’s Robux, and your kid chose it.
Make the budget hold with Roblox’s own limit
Roblox has a monthly spending limit in its parental controls. Its steps: go to parental controls in your settings, manage your child’s spending restrictions, and set your child’s monthly spending limit (Roblox, November 28, 2025). Roblox says the limit covers Robux and subscriptions to individual experiences. Set it to the budget you agreed, and the budget holds when nobody is watching.
For the store’s hardest push, the guide has what to say at 8, 11 and 15 when a limited-time pack appears. The FTC has acted on one game’s checkout:
$245 million
Epic Games, the maker of Fortnite, agreed to pay $245 million to refund consumers over what the FTC called dark patterns and billing practices.
