The cost depends on whether you have changed your name before

Changing your Roblox username costs 1,000 Robux if you have never changed it. If you have already changed your username once, the second change costs 1,000 Robux as well. After that, each additional change costs 1,000 Robux, but you can only change your name once every 30 days — Roblox enforces a waiting period between changes regardless of how many times you have done it before.

Robux is the in-game currency you use on the Roblox platform. You buy Robux with real money through the Roblox website or mobile app, or you earn it through the Roblox Developer Exchange if you create games or items that other players purchase. The price of Robux varies depending on how many you buy at once, but 1,000 Robux typically costs between $10 and $12 USD when purchased in smaller bundles.

If you do not have enough Robux in your account, you cannot complete the name change. The system will tell you how many Robux you need and give you the option to buy more before you proceed.

Key Takeaways

  • Every username change on Roblox costs 1,000 Robux, whether it is your first change or your fifth.
  • You can only change your username once every 30 days, even if you have Robux available.
  • Robux must be purchased with real money or earned through creating content, and 1,000 Robux costs roughly $10 to $12 USD in most regions.
  • If your account balance is below 1,000 Robux, you will need to buy more before the system allows you to change your name.

How to check your current Robux balance

Before you attempt a username change, check how many Robux you have in your account. Log into Roblox on the website or open the mobile app, then look at the top right corner of the screen — your Robux balance appears next to a Robux icon. On the website, it is in the upper right. On mobile, it is usually in the top left or top right depending on your device.

If the number shown is less than 1,000, you will need to buy more Robux before you can change your username. Click or tap on the Robux balance to go directly to the purchase page.

Where to buy Robux and what to expect

You buy Robux through the official Roblox website or the Roblox mobile app. On the website, click your Robux balance and select "Buy Robux." On mobile, tap the Robux icon and choose a package. Roblox offers several bundle sizes: smaller purchases (like 400 Robux) cost less per Robux than larger ones (like 10,000 Robux), so buying in bulk is more economical if you plan to spend regularly.

Payment methods vary by region and device. On the website, you can use a credit card, debit card, PayPal, or gift cards. On mobile, payment goes through your device's app store (Apple App Store or Google Play), so your payment method depends on what you have set up there. Roblox does not accept cryptocurrency or other alternative payment methods.

After you complete a purchase, Robux appears in your account when ready. There is no waiting period for the currency to arrive.

The 30-day waiting period between changes

Even if you have 1,000 Robux available, you cannot change your username more than once every 30 days. This rule applies to everyone, regardless of how many times you have changed your name in the past. If you changed your username on March 15, you cannot change it again until April 14 at the earliest.

When you go to change your username, Roblox will tell you if you are still in the waiting period and show you the date when you can change it next. You cannot bypass this waiting period by spending more Robux or upgrading your account type.

What happens if you change your mind after paying

Once you pay the 1,000 Robux and confirm the new username, the change is permanent and the Robux is spent. Roblox does not refund the cost if you change your mind about the new name. You would have to wait 30 days and pay another 1,000 Robux to change it again.

Before you confirm, Roblox shows you the new username and asks you to verify it is correct. Take time to check the spelling and make sure it is what you want, because the payment is non-refundable once you proceed.

Robux from the Developer Exchange as an alternative

If you create games, items, or other content on Roblox that other players purchase, you can earn Robux through the Developer Exchange program. This is a way to get Robux without spending money, though it requires time and effort to build something people want to buy.

The Developer Exchange converts your earned Robux into real money at a set rate, but you can also keep the Robux in your account and use it for a username change. However, you cannot exchange real money back into Robux through this program — it only works one direction, from Robux to cash.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I change my username without spending Robux?

No. Roblox charges 1,000 Robux for every username change, with no exceptions or free changes. The only way to avoid the cost is to keep your current username.

What if I buy Robux but do not use it for a username change?

Robux you purchase stays in your account and you can spend it on other things: game passes, avatar items, or anything else available in the Roblox catalog. Unused Robux does not expire or disappear.

Do I get a refund if I do not like my new username?

No. Once you pay and confirm the new username, the 1,000 Robux is spent and cannot be returned. You would need to pay another 1,000 Robux and wait 30 days to change it again.

Can I change my username more than once in 30 days if I pay twice?

No. The 30-day waiting period is a hard rule that applies to all accounts. Paying more Robux does not let you bypass it or change your name sooner.

Is there a cheaper way to change my username?

No. The cost is always 1,000 Robux per change. There are no discounts, sales, or alternative pricing tiers for username changes on Roblox.
