Roblox Premium is a monthly subscription that gives you a monthly Robux allowance, a private server discount, and access to exclusive items
Roblox Premium comes in three tiers: Premium ($4.99/month), Premium Plus ($9.99/month), and Premium Max ($19.99/month). Each tier gives you a different amount of Robux each month — the in-game currency you use to buy items, cosmetics, and game passes. Premium also cuts the cost of renting a private server by 10 percent and lets you sell items you create in the catalog to other players.
You do not need Premium to play Roblox games. Most games are free to join. Premium is optional and only changes how much Robux you receive monthly and what marketplace features you can use. If you cancel, you keep any Robux you already earned, but you stop receiving the monthly allowance.
Key Takeaways
- Premium tiers range from $4.99 to $19.99 per month and each includes a different monthly Robux amount: 450, 1,000, or 2,200 Robux respectively.
- The private server discount saves you 10 percent on the cost to rent a server where only you and people you invite can play.
- Only Premium members can list items they create for sale in the Roblox catalog and earn Robux from other players buying them.
- Your subscription renews automatically each month on the same date you signed up, and you can cancel anytime through your account settings.
The Three Premium Tiers and Their Monthly Robux
Premium ($4.99/month) gives you 450 Robux each month. Premium Plus ($9.99/month) gives you 1,000 Robux. Premium Max ($19.99/month) gives you 2,200 Robux. These amounts arrive in your account on the same day each month, starting the day after you buy the subscription.
Robux is the currency you spend inside Roblox games and on the catalog. You can use it to buy cosmetics (skins, accessories, animations), game passes that unlock features in specific games, or items other players have created. The monthly Robux from Premium is separate from any Robux you buy with real money — you keep both.
If you upgrade from one tier to another mid-month, you do not get a refund for the difference. Your new tier takes effect on your next renewal date. If you downgrade, the same rule applies: the lower tier starts at your next renewal.
Private Server Discount and How It Works
A private server is a copy of a game that only people you invite can join. You rent it for a set monthly price that varies by game — usually between 100 and 200 Robux per month. Premium members pay 10 percent less than non-Premium players for the same server.
To rent a private server, you go to the game's page, click the private server option, and pay the Robux cost. The discount applies automatically if you have an active Premium subscription. If your Premium expires, you keep the server but pay the full non-Premium price when it renews.
Selling Items You Create and Earning Robux
Roblox lets creators build items like clothing, accessories, and animations. If you have Premium, you can list these items for sale in the catalog and earn Robux when other players buy them. Without Premium, you can create items but cannot sell them.
When someone buys your item, you earn a percentage of the Robux they paid — the exact percentage depends on the item type. Roblox takes a cut, and you receive the rest. This is how some players earn real money: they cash out their Robux through the Developer Exchange program, which converts Robux to USD at a set rate.
How Billing and Cancellation Work
Premium renews automatically every month on the same date you first subscribed. Your payment method is charged on that date. You can cancel anytime through your account settings under "Billing" — cancellation takes effect immediately, and you will not be charged again. You keep any Robux you already earned, but you stop receiving the monthly allowance.
If you cancel mid-month, you do not get a refund for that month. Your access to Premium features (the monthly Robux, the private server discount, and the ability to sell items) ends right away. If you resubscribe later, you start a new billing cycle on the day you resubscribe.
What Happens If Your Payment Fails
If your payment method declines, Roblox usually tries again a few days later. If it fails a second time, your Premium subscription pauses. You keep your Robux and your private servers, but you stop receiving the monthly allowance and lose access to selling items in the catalog.
To restart Premium, you update your payment method in your account settings and resubscribe. Roblox does not automatically resume a paused subscription — you have to manually restart it. Once you do, a new billing cycle begins on that date.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I lose my Robux if I cancel Premium?
No. You keep all the Robux you have earned or purchased. You only stop receiving the monthly allowance that comes with Premium. Any Robux in your account stays there whether you have Premium or not.
Can I gift Premium to someone else?
Roblox does not currently offer Premium gift cards or the ability to gift a subscription to another player. You can only buy Premium for your own account. You can gift Robux directly to other players, but not a Premium subscription.
What if I upgrade mid-month — do I get a refund?
No. If you upgrade from Premium to Premium Plus mid-month, you pay the full Premium Plus price and your new tier starts immediately. You do not receive a refund for the remaining days of your old tier. The upgrade takes effect right away, and your next renewal is one month from the upgrade date.
Does Premium give me an advantage in games?
Premium itself does not make you stronger or faster in games. It gives you a monthly Robux allowance and the ability to sell items. Some games offer Premium-only game passes or cosmetics, but those are optional purchases, not automatic advantages.
Can I use Premium on multiple accounts?
No. Each Premium subscription is tied to one Roblox account. If you have multiple accounts, you would need to buy a separate subscription for each one. Your Robux and Premium status do not transfer between accounts.
