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. Roblox does not offer discounts or sales on username changes, and the price does not vary based on how long you have owned your current name.

You pay this fee directly through Roblox when you initiate the change. The 1,000 Robux is deducted from your account balance when ready after you confirm your new username. If you do not have 1,000 Robux in your account, the system will not let you complete the change.

Key Takeaways

  • A username change costs exactly 1,000 Robux, with no exceptions or discounts.
  • You must have 1,000 Robux available in your account before you can change your name.
  • Robux purchased with real money and Robux earned through the Roblox Creator Fund both count toward the 1,000 needed.
  • Once you change your username, you can change it again when ready if you have another 1,000 Robux, though Roblox recommends waiting before making frequent changes.

Where to get Robux if you don't have enough

If your account has fewer than 1,000 Robux, you will need to add more before you can change your username. The most direct way is to purchase Robux with real money through the Roblox website or mobile app. Roblox sells Robux in bundles starting at 400 Robux for roughly $5 USD, though prices vary by country and payment method.

If you are a creator on Roblox — meaning you have built games, items, or clothing that other players buy — you can earn Robux through the Creator Fund. Money from in-game purchases and sales goes into your account as Robux that you can use for a username change. This path takes longer than purchasing Robux outright, but it costs no real money.

Some players also receive Robux as gifts from other users. If someone sends you Robux directly, it appears in your account and counts toward your 1,000 Robux total. However, you cannot trade Robux between accounts or sell items for Robux in most cases, so gifting is the only way to receive Robux from another player.

How to check your current Robux balance

Before you attempt a username change, check how many Robux you have. On the Roblox website, click the Robux icon in the top right corner of the page. A dropdown menu shows your current balance. On the mobile app, tap the menu icon (three horizontal lines) and select your username, then look for the Robux balance displayed near the top of your profile.

If the number shown is less than 1,000, you will know when ready that you need to purchase or earn more Robux before proceeding. The balance updates in real time as you spend or earn Robux, so checking again after a purchase or sale confirms that your account has the full amount needed.

What happens after you pay for the change

Once you confirm the 1,000 Robux payment and submit your new username, Roblox processes the change within a few seconds to a few minutes. Your profile, game servers, and friends' lists all update to show your new name. Any games you have created or items you have published remain linked to your account under the new username.

Your old username becomes available for other players to claim after a short waiting period, usually 30 days. During that time, no one else can use it. If you change your mind within those 30 days, Roblox does not offer refunds or the ability to reclaim your old name without paying another 1,000 Robux.

Limits on how often you can change your username

Roblox does not enforce a hard rule preventing you from changing your username multiple times in a row. Technically, if you have 2,000 Robux, you could change your name twice in one day. However, Roblox's terms of service discourage frequent username changes, and accounts that change names very often may be flagged for review.

The practical limit is your Robux balance. Each change costs 1,000 Robux, so you can change your name as many times as you can afford. Most players change their username only once or twice, making the cost a non-issue. If you are planning multiple changes, budget accordingly — 3,000 Robux covers three changes, for example.

Why Roblox charges for username changes

The 1,000 Robux fee serves two purposes: it generates revenue for Roblox, and it discourages spam and abuse. Without a cost, players could change their names constantly to evade moderation, impersonate others, or confuse their friends. The fee makes those tactics expensive and impractical.

The price has remained at 1,000 Robux for years and is unlikely to change. Roblox adjusts prices for other services occasionally, but username changes have stayed consistent. This stability means you can plan ahead if you know you want to change your name — the cost will not surprise you later.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I change my username for free?

No. Roblox charges 1,000 Robux for every username change, with no free option. Some games or events may offer Robux as rewards, but there is no way to change your username without spending Robux or real money to buy Robux first.

What if I buy Robux but don't use them for a username change?

Robux you purchase stays in your account and can be used for anything else — game passes, avatar items, in-game currency, or future username changes. There is no expiration date on Robux, so you can hold onto them as long as you want.

Do I get a refund if I change my mind after paying?

No. Once you confirm the username change and the 1,000 Robux is deducted, the transaction is final. Roblox does not refund the cost or restore your old username if you change your mind when ready after. Plan your new username carefully before confirming.

Can I change my username if my account is banned or suspended?

If your account is suspended or banned, you cannot access it to change your username. If the suspension is temporary, you can change your name once your account is restored. If the ban is permanent, your account and username are locked and cannot be changed.

Is the 1,000 Robux fee the same on mobile and desktop?

Yes. The cost is 1,000 Robux whether you change your username through the Roblox website on a computer or through the mobile app on a phone or tablet. The process is slightly different, but the price is identical.
