Roblox charges 1,000 Robux to change your username

A username change on Roblox costs 1,000 Robux, which is the platform's virtual currency. Robux does not convert to a fixed dollar amount — the cost in real money depends on which Robux package you buy and whether you have a Roblox Premium membership, which gives you a small bonus when you purchase Robux.

You can change your username once every 30 days. If you change it and then want to change it again, you must wait a full month before the next change is available. There is no way to bypass this waiting period.

Key Takeaways

  • Changing your username costs 1,000 Robux, and you can do it once every 30 days.
  • The real-money cost varies based on Robux package pricing and whether you have Premium membership, but typically ranges from roughly $10 to $12 USD for a single username change.
  • You make the change through your account settings on the Roblox website or app, and the new username takes effect when ready.
  • Once you change your username, your old username becomes available for other players to claim after a short period.

How Robux pricing works

Roblox sells Robux in bundles, and the price per Robux changes depending on which bundle you buy. Smaller purchases cost more per Robux than larger ones. For example, buying 400 Robux costs more per unit than buying 4,500 Robux.

To spend exactly 1,000 Robux on a username change, you would need to buy a package that gives you at least 1,000 Robux. The smallest package that covers this is typically around 1,700 Robux, which costs roughly $12 USD, though pricing varies by region and changes over time. If you already have Robux in your account from previous purchases or gifts, you can use that balance instead of buying a new package.

Roblox Premium members receive a 10 percent bonus on Robux purchases. This means if you buy a 1,700 Robux package as a Premium member, you receive 1,870 Robux instead. The username change still costs 1,000 Robux, so the bonus gives you extra Robux left over for other uses.

Where to change your username and what happens next

You change your username through your account settings on the Roblox website. Log in, go to Settings, then Account, and look for the Username section. You will see your current username and a button to change it. Click that button, enter your new username, and confirm that you want to spend 1,000 Robux. The change takes effect when ready.

On the Roblox mobile app, the process is similar: open your profile, tap Settings, go to Account, and find the Username option. The steps are the same as on the website.

After you change your username, your old username does not disappear right away. Other players cannot use it for a period of time — Roblox holds it temporarily. Eventually it becomes available for others to claim, but this does not happen when ready. Your friends will see your new username in their friends list and in games, and any messages you sent before the change will still show your old username.

The 30-day waiting period between changes

Once you change your username, you cannot change it again for 30 days. This timer starts from the moment you make the change, not from the start of the calendar month. If you change your username on March 15, you cannot change it again until April 14.

If you change your username and then regret it within the 30-day window, you cannot when ready switch back. You have to wait the full 30 days, and then you can change it to whatever you want — including your old username, if no one else has claimed it by then. There is no way to speed up or reset this timer.

What to know before you spend the Robux

Username changes are permanent once you confirm them. Roblox does not offer refunds for Robux spent on username changes, even if you change your mind seconds after making the change. Make sure you have typed your new username correctly before you confirm, because you cannot undo it without waiting 30 days.

Your username is different from your display name. Your username is what appears in your profile URL and is used to log in. Your display name is what other players see in games and on your profile, and you can change your display name as often as you want for free. If you only want to change how your name appears to other players, you do not need to spend Robux — change your display name instead.

Keep in mind that changing your username does not change your account history, your Robux balance, your inventory, or your friends list. Everything stays the same except the name itself.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I change my username without spending Robux?

No. The 1,000 Robux fee is required every time. However, you can change your display name for free as many times as you want, and that is what most other players see. If you only want to change how your name appears in games, use the display name feature instead.

What if I do not have 1,000 Robux right now?

You need to buy a Robux package first. The smallest package that covers a 1,000 Robux cost is typically around 1,700 Robux. You can buy Robux through the Roblox website or app using a credit card, debit card, gift card, or other payment methods available in your region.

Can I change my username back to my old one after 30 days?

Only if no one else has claimed it. After you change your username, Roblox holds your old username for a period of time, but eventually it becomes available for other players. If someone else takes it, you cannot use it again unless that player changes their username and releases it.

Do Roblox Premium members pay less for a username change?

No. The username change always costs 1,000 Robux regardless of membership. Premium members do get a 10 percent bonus when they buy Robux packages, so they receive more Robux for their money, but the change itself costs the same amount.

Will my friends still see me after I change my username?

Yes. Your friends list does not change, and your friends will see your new username in their friends list and in games. Your account history and everything on your profile stays the same — only the name changes.
