The cost depends on whether you have ever changed your username before

Your first username change on Roblox is free. After that, each change costs 1,000 Robux. Robux is Roblox's in-game currency that you buy with real money. The price stays at 1,000 Robux for every change after the first one, no matter how many times you change it.

If you have never changed your username since you created your account, you can change it once without spending anything. Once you use that free change, the 1,000 Robux cost applies to all future changes. This is a one-time benefit that every account receives when it is created.

Key Takeaways

  • Your first username change is free; every change after that costs 1,000 Robux.
  • 1,000 Robux costs between $10 and $20 USD depending on which Robux package you buy, since packages do not align exactly with 1,000.
  • You can change your username once every seven days, whether it is free or paid.
  • The username change happens when ready after you pay, and your old username becomes available for other players to claim right away.
  • You can check whether you have used your free change by opening your account settings and looking at the username field.

How much 1,000 Robux costs in real money

Robux packages do not line up evenly with 1,000, so you will spend slightly more than the username change itself costs. A 1,000 Robux package does not exist. The closest options are 800 Robux for around $10 USD or 1,700 Robux for around $20 USD. Some regions also offer packages at different price points depending on local currency and payment methods available.

If you buy the 1,700 Robux package, you will have 700 Robux left over after the 1,000 username change. You can use that remaining balance toward other purchases in Roblox games or on the platform. If you buy the 800 Robux package, you will be 200 Robux short and need to buy another package to cover the full cost. The exact dollar amount varies by country and payment method — some regions pay in euros, pounds, or other currencies, and exchange rates affect the final price you see.

When you can change your username again

You must wait seven days between username changes. This applies whether your first change was free or whether you paid. If you change your username on a Monday, you cannot change it again until the following Monday at the same time. The timer is strict and does not reset or pause.

The seven-day timer starts the moment your username change goes through, not when you initiate the change. If the change takes a few seconds to process, the timer begins after it completes. You will see a countdown in your account settings showing how many days remain before you can change again.

What happens to your old username

Once you change your username, your old one becomes available when ready for any other player to claim. You cannot reserve it or get it back later. If you think you might want your old username again, you should wait before changing, or be prepared to pay 1,000 Robux again if someone else takes it first.

Other players will see your new username right away in games, on your profile, and in chat. Any messages, friend requests, or game invitations sent to your old username will not reach you — people need to use your new username to contact you going forward. Your friends list and followers will automatically see your new name without you having to do anything else.

How to check if you have used your free change

Open your Roblox account settings by clicking the gear icon in the top right corner of the website or app, then select "Settings". Go to the Account section. Look for the username field. If you see a button that says "Change Username" without any Robux cost displayed next to it, you have not used your free change yet. If it shows "1,000 Robux", you have already used your free change and will pay for the next one.

You can also try to change your username and the system will show you the cost before you confirm the purchase. If it says 0 Robux, your change is free. If it says 1,000 Robux, you will need to buy Robux first. This preview happens after you type in your new username but before any money is charged.

Buying Robux to pay for a username change

Go to the Robux purchase page on the Roblox website or open the Roblox app on your phone. You can find the purchase page by clicking your avatar, selecting "Robux", and then "Buy Robux". Select the Robux package that gives you at least 1,000 Robux. The 1,700 Robux package is the most common choice because it covers the cost and leaves you with extra Robux.

Choose your payment method — credit card, debit card, gift card, PayPal, or other options depending on your region. Complete the purchase. The Robux will appear in your account within a few minutes. Once you have at least 1,000 Robux, go back to your account settings, select "Change Username", type your new username, and confirm the purchase. The 1,000 Robux will be deducted from your balance when ready.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I change my username for free more than once?

No. You get one free username change for your entire account, ever. After you use it, every change costs 1,000 Robux. There is no way to get another free change, even if you wait a long time or reach a certain level in games.

What if I do not have enough Robux?

You cannot change your username without having at least 1,000 Robux in your account. You must buy a Robux package first. The smallest package that covers the cost is 1,700 Robux for around $20 USD, which will leave you with 700 Robux after the change.

Can I change my username back to my old one?

Yes, but only if no one else has claimed it. If someone else took your old username after you changed it, you cannot get it back. You would have to pay 1,000 Robux to change to a different new username instead.

Do I have to wait seven days between free and paid changes?

Yes. The seven-day waiting period applies to all username changes, whether your first free change or any paid change after that. You cannot change your username again until seven days have passed since your last change.

Will my friends still be able to find me after I change my username?

Yes. Your friends list does not change, and they will see your new username automatically. However, if someone tries to search for your old username, they will not find you. Make sure to tell people you know about your new username if you think they might try to search for you.
