The cost to change your username is 1,000 Robux

Changing your Roblox username costs 1,000 Robux each time you do it. This is a flat fee — it does not matter whether you are changing to a completely new name or a slight variation of your current one. You pay the same amount regardless.

Robux is the in-game currency in Roblox. You can buy Robux with real money through the Roblox website or mobile app, or you can earn it through certain games and activities if you have a Roblox Premium membership. The 1,000 Robux fee goes directly to Roblox Corporation when you confirm the name change.

Once you pay and confirm your new username, the change takes effect when ready. Your old username becomes available for other players to use after a short period. You can change your username again in the future, but each change will cost another 1,000 Robux.

Key Takeaways

  • Each username change costs exactly 1,000 Robux, with no discounts for multiple changes or bulk purchases.
  • You must have 1,000 Robux in your account before you can initiate a username change through your account settings.
  • Robux can be purchased with real money or earned through Premium membership activities and certain games.
  • The fee is non-refundable once you confirm the change, so double-check your new username spelling before you pay.

How to check if you have enough Robux

Before you attempt to change your username, you should verify that you have at least 1,000 Robux in your account. On the Roblox website, click the Robux icon in the upper right corner of the page — it looks like a small coin symbol. This will show you your current Robux balance when ready.

On the Roblox mobile app, tap the menu icon (three horizontal lines) at the bottom right, then select your username at the top. Scroll down to find your Robux balance displayed prominently. If you do not have 1,000 Robux yet, you will need to purchase more before you can proceed with the username change.

Where to buy Robux if you need more

If your balance is below 1,000 Robux, you can purchase more through the Roblox website or app. On the website, click the Robux icon and select "Buy Robux." You will see several package options ranging from small amounts to larger bundles. The more Robux you buy at once, the better the rate — for example, buying 4,500 Robux costs less per Robux than buying 400.

On mobile, tap the menu icon, select your username, then tap "Buy Robux." The same packages are available. Roblox accepts credit cards, debit cards, PayPal, gift cards, and other payment methods depending on your region and device. The Robux will appear in your account within seconds after payment is processed.

If you have a Roblox Premium membership, you also receive a monthly Robux stipend — the amount varies by membership tier. Premium members can also earn Robux by creating and selling items in certain games, though this is a slower way to accumulate currency.

What happens after you pay the 1,000 Robux fee

Once you have confirmed your new username and paid the 1,000 Robux, the change is permanent and when ready. Your profile will display your new name right away, and all your games, friends, and inventory remain attached to your account — nothing is lost or reset.

Your old username becomes available for other players to claim after a waiting period of several days. This prevents someone from when ready snatching your previous name. During this time, your account history and achievements are still tied to your new username, not the old one.

If you change your mind about the new username shortly after paying, Roblox does not refund the 1,000 Robux. You would have to pay another 1,000 Robux to change it again. For this reason, it is worth taking a moment to verify the spelling and capitalization of your new name before you confirm the purchase.

Why the fee exists and what it covers

Roblox charges for username changes to prevent spam, account takeovers, and abuse. If username changes were free, bad actors could rapidly cycle through names to evade bans or impersonate other players. The fee creates a small barrier that discourages this behavior while remaining affordable for legitimate players.

The 1,000 Robux fee also helps Roblox maintain the service and support the platform. Unlike some games that offer one free name change, Roblox treats every change as a transaction. This approach keeps the system stable and ensures that players who change their names frequently are contributing to the platform's upkeep.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I change my username for free?

No. Every username change on Roblox costs 1,000 Robux, and there are no exceptions or free changes. Some accounts created very long ago may have had a free change option when the feature first launched, but that is no longer available to any new or existing accounts.

What if I do not have 1,000 Robux yet?

You will need to purchase Robux before you can change your username. You can buy Robux packages starting as low as 400 Robux for a few dollars. If you have a Premium membership, you can also wait for your monthly stipend to accumulate, though this takes longer than purchasing outright.

Do I get the 1,000 Robux back after I change my username?

No. The 1,000 Robux is a one-time fee that you do not recover. Once you confirm the change, the Robux is deducted from your account permanently. If you want to change your username again in the future, you will need to pay another 1,000 Robux.

Can I change my username multiple times?

Yes, you can change your username as many times as you want, but each change costs 1,000 Robux. There is no limit on how often you can change it, only the cost each time. Plan your changes carefully so you do not spend more Robux than necessary.

What if I misspell my new username?

If you notice a spelling error after confirming the change, you will need to pay another 1,000 Robux to change it again. Roblox does not offer refunds for typos, so take time to verify your new username is spelled correctly before you click the final confirmation button.
