The cost to change your Roblox username

Changing your Roblox username costs 1,000 Robux. This is a flat fee that applies whether you are changing your name for the first time or the tenth time. Robux is the in-game currency that Roblox uses, and you purchase it with real money through the Roblox website or app.

The 1,000 Robux fee goes directly to Roblox Corporation when you make the change. You cannot use Robux you earned through games or activities — only Robux you purchased counts toward the username change. This prevents players from changing names repeatedly without spending actual money.

If you do not have 1,000 Robux in your account, the username change option will appear greyed out or locked when you try to access it. You will need to buy Robux before you can proceed.

Key Takeaways

  • A username change on Roblox costs exactly 1,000 Robux, which you must purchase with real money.
  • Earned Robux from games and activities cannot be used for a username change — only purchased Robux counts.
  • The fee is the same regardless of how many times you have changed your name before.
  • You can change your username as often as you want, as long as you pay the 1,000 Robux fee each time.

How to buy Robux for a username change

To purchase Robux, log into your Roblox account on the website or open the Roblox app. Look for the Robux icon or a button that says "Buy Robux" — this is usually in the top right corner of the screen or in the menu. Click it and you will see a list of Robux packages with different amounts and prices.

The smallest package typically includes 400 Robux, which is not enough for a username change. The next tier up is usually 800 Robux, still short of the 1,000 needed. You will need to buy a package that contains at least 1,000 Robux, such as the 1,000 Robux package itself or a larger bundle. Prices vary by region and by whether you are buying on a computer, phone, or console.

After you select a package, you will be asked to choose a payment method. Roblox accepts credit cards, debit cards, gift cards, PayPal, and other payment options depending on where you live. Complete the payment and the Robux will appear in your account when ready.

Where to find the username change option

Once you have 1,000 Robux in your account, go to your account settings. On the website, click the gear icon in the top right corner and select "Settings." On the mobile app, tap the three horizontal lines (the menu) and look for "Settings."

In Settings, find the "Account" tab. Look for a field or button labeled "Username" — this is where you can see your current name and the option to change it. Click on the username field or the "Change" button next to it. A window will pop up asking you to confirm that you want to spend 1,000 Robux and showing you the new name you want to use.

Type your new username into the text box. Roblox will check whether that name is already taken or violates the community standards. If the name is available, you will see a confirmation button. Click it, and the 1,000 Robux will be deducted from your account when ready. Your username will change right away.

Rules and limits on username changes

Roblox does not limit how many times you can change your username, as long as you pay the 1,000 Robux fee each time. You can change it again the next day if you want, or wait months between changes — there is no waiting period.

Your new username must be between 3 and 20 characters long and can include letters, numbers, and underscores. Roblox will reject names that contain profanity, impersonate famous people or brands, or violate the platform's community standards. If your chosen name is rejected, you will see an error message and can try a different name without losing your Robux.

Once you change your username, your old name becomes available for other players to use after a short delay. Your account history, friends list, and game progress stay with your account — only the display name changes.

What happens if you do not have enough Robux

If you have fewer than 1,000 Robux, the username change option will be locked or disabled in your Settings. You cannot proceed until you buy more Robux. The system will not let you partially pay or use a mix of earned and purchased Robux.

If you are close to 1,000 Robux but do not want to buy a full package, check whether Roblox is running any promotions or bonus offers. Occasionally the platform gives free Robux to members of Roblox Premium, which is a paid subscription service. However, this is not may provide and should not be relied on as a way to reach 1,000 Robux.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use Robux I earned in games to change my username?

No. Only Robux you purchased with real money can be used for a username change. Robux earned through gameplay, events, or other in-game activities cannot be spent on account changes, even if they appear in your total balance.

Is there a waiting period between username changes?

No. You can change your username as many times as you want, as long as you pay 1,000 Robux each time. There is no cooldown or limit on how often you can make changes.

What if the username I want is already taken?

Roblox will tell you the name is unavailable before you spend your Robux. You can try a different name without losing any currency. Keep trying different variations until you find one that is not taken.

Do I get my Robux back if I change my mind after paying?

No. Once you confirm the username change and the Robux are deducted, the transaction is final. Roblox does not refund Robux spent on username changes under normal circumstances.

Can I change my username on mobile the same way as on a computer?

Yes. The process is the same on the Roblox mobile app as it is on the website. Go to Settings, find your username, and pay 1,000 Robux to change it. The menu layout is slightly different on mobile, but the steps are identical.
