Changing your Roblox username costs 1,000 Robux
A username change on Roblox costs exactly 1,000 Robux, which is the platform's virtual currency. This is a flat fee — it does not vary based on how long you have owned your account, what your current username is, or how many times you have changed it before. You pay the 1,000 Robux once, make the change, and the transaction is complete.
Robux can be purchased with real money through the Roblox website or mobile app, or earned through certain in-game activities and creator programs. If you do not already have 1,000 Robux in your account, you will need to buy enough to cover the fee before you can proceed with the username change.
Key Takeaways

- You must have 1,000 Robux available in your account balance before you can complete a username change.
- Robux is purchased with real money through Roblox's official store, with prices varying based on how many Robux you buy at once.
- Once you change your username, you can change it again after 30 days have passed, and each change will cost another 1,000 Robux.
- The 1,000 Robux fee is non-refundable, even if you change your mind when ready after the change goes through.
How much real money 1,000 Robux costs
The real-money cost of 1,000 Robux depends on which Robux package you buy. Roblox offers several tiers: 400 Robux for $4.99, 800 Robux for $9.99, 1,700 Robux for $19.99, 4,500 Robux for $49.99, and 10,000 Robux for $99.99. To get exactly 1,000 Robux, you would need to purchase the 1,700 Robux package for $19.99, which gives you 700 extra Robux beyond what you need for the username change.
If you already have some Robux in your account from previous purchases or in-game earnings, you may only need to buy a smaller package to reach 1,000 total. For example, if you have 300 Robux saved, buying the 800 Robux package would give you 1,100 Robux total, enough to cover the fee with 100 left over.
Prices are in US dollars; if you are in another country, the cost in your local currency will be converted by your payment method or app store. Roblox occasionally runs promotions that add bonus Robux to purchases, so the effective cost per Robux can shift, but the base prices listed above are standard.
Where to buy Robux and complete the purchase
On a computer, go to the Roblox website, sign into your account, and click the Robux icon in the top right corner. This opens the Robux store, where you can select the package size you want and choose your payment method — credit card, debit card, PayPal, or gift card. After you complete the purchase, the Robux appear in your account within seconds.
On mobile, open the Roblox app, tap the menu icon (three horizontal lines), select "Robux," and choose your package. Mobile purchases go through your device's app store — Apple App Store on iOS or Google Play on Android — so your payment method is whatever you have set up there. The Robux will show in your account when ready after the purchase processes.
Once you have 1,000 Robux in your account, you can change your username by going to your account settings, selecting "Change Username," entering your new name, and confirming the purchase. The system will deduct the 1,000 Robux and explore your new username right away.
The 30-day waiting period between changes
After you change your username, you cannot change it again for 30 days. This timer starts the moment your new username goes live, not when you make the purchase. If you change your username on January 15th, you cannot change it again until February 14th at the earliest.
During this 30-day window, your new username is locked in. You can still play, chat, and use all other features of Roblox normally — the restriction only applies to username changes. If you want to change it again after the 30 days pass, you will need another 1,000 Robux and will go through the same process.
What happens if you change your mind after paying
The 1,000 Robux fee is non-refundable once you complete the username change. Roblox does not offer refunds for username changes, even if you realize when ready afterward that you made a mistake or want your old name back. The transaction is final.
If you want to return to your previous username, you will need to wait 30 days for the cooldown to expire, then pay another 1,000 Robux to change it again. This means reversing a username change costs you 2,000 Robux total — 1,000 for the original change and 1,000 to change back.
Robux earned through games and creator programs
Some Roblox games and creator programs allow you to earn Robux without spending real money, though the amounts are usually small. If you create games on Roblox, you can earn Robux through in-game purchases made by players, though Roblox takes a percentage. You cannot earn 1,000 Robux quickly this way unless you have a popular game with many players spending money inside it.
Most regular players do not earn enough Robux through gameplay alone to cover a username change. If you want to change your username and do not want to spend money, you would need to either create a successful game or wait for special promotions where Roblox gives bonus Robux to accounts.
