How Much Does Robux Cost in Canada in 2026

Current prices, gift card options, Roblox Premium tiers, and why buying on a phone costs more than buying on the web.

  • Quick answer: Robux costs $0.0168 CAD per Robux through the web store. 1,000 Robux is $16.80 CAD. $20 CAD gets you 1,190 Robux. These figures are pre-tax and apply to roblox.com and desktop app purchases only.

The current Robux rate in Canada

As of June 2026, Roblox charges 0.0168 CAD per Robux in the Canadian web store. This is Roblox's own Canadian-dollar price set for Canadian accounts. It is not a USD amount converted at a live exchange rate. The rate applies to purchases made at roblox.com or through the Windows or Mac desktop app.

The table below shows common Canadian dollar amounts and how many Robux each one gets at the current rate.

Robux received per CAD spent at the 2026 web store rate of 0.0168 CAD per Robux
CAD Spent Robux Received
$5.00297 R$
$10.00595 R$
$20.001,190 R$
$25.001,488 R$
$30.001,785 R$
$50.002,976 R$
$75.004,464 R$
$100.005,952 R$

Calculated at 0.0168 CAD per Robux. Pre-tax. Actual Robux counts depend on the bundle tier selected at checkout, which may differ slightly from these calculated values.

For any specific amount, the Robux to CAD calculator on the homepage works in both directions: enter a Robux amount to get the CAD cost, or enter a CAD amount to see how many Robux it buys.

Web store vs mobile app

Buying Robux through the iOS or Android app costs more than buying through a browser. Apple and Google each charge developers a fee on purchases made through their app stores. Roblox passes that fee to the buyer as a reduced Robux count, not a higher listed price.

The same $20 CAD spent inside the Roblox mobile app gets you fewer Robux than spending $20 CAD at roblox.com. The gap can be 20% or more depending on the platform and purchase tier. This is not a Roblox policy specific to Canada. It applies in every country where Roblox is available through an app store.

To buy Robux at the base rate, use one of these three methods:

  • Buy at roblox.com in a browser on any device
  • Use the Roblox desktop app on Windows or Mac
  • Redeem a gift card at roblox.com/redeem

All three avoid the platform fee. None require making the purchase inside the iOS or Android app.

Roblox gift cards in Canada

Roblox gift cards are sold in Canadian dollars at major retailers across the country. Redeeming a card at roblox.com gives you the same Robux rate as a direct web purchase. You do not need a credit card or PayPal account on the account to use a gift card.

Current stockists include:

  • Walmart Canada
  • Best Buy Canada
  • Shoppers Drug Mart
  • EB Games
  • Microsoft Store

Denominations at most retailers run from $10 to $50 CAD. To redeem, go to roblox.com/redeem and enter the PIN from the back of the physical card or from your digital confirmation email. The credit is added to your Roblox account balance right away.

Gift cards work well in households where a parent is making the purchase for a child's account. They set a fixed spending limit and avoid storing a payment method on the child's Roblox account.

Roblox Premium in Canada

Roblox Premium is a monthly subscription available in three tiers. Each tier gives a fixed Robux stipend every month, a 10% bonus on any Robux purchased separately, and access to item trading between players.

Roblox Premium tiers and monthly Robux stipends
Tier Monthly Robux Listed USD Price
Premium 450450 R$$4.99 USD / month
Premium 10001,000 R$$9.99 USD / month
Premium 22002,200 R$$19.99 USD / month

USD prices are Roblox's published rates. Roblox sets its own CAD price in the Canadian store, which may differ from a straight USD-to-CAD conversion. Check roblox.com for the current CAD amount before subscribing.

To check whether a tier makes sense at your spending level, look up the current CAD subscription price at roblox.com and compare it against the cost of buying the same Robux amount directly. At the 2026 rate of 0.0168 CAD per Robux, 1,000 Robux costs $16.80 CAD to buy outright. If the Premium 1000 subscription is priced below $16.80 CAD in the Canadian store, subscribing gets you the same monthly Robux for less money. The 10% bonus on additional purchases adds more value if you buy extra Robux during the month on top of the stipend.

If you only buy Robux occasionally, a single gift card purchase as needed is usually more cost-effective than a recurring monthly charge.

Sales tax on Roblox purchases in Canada

Roblox applies sales tax at checkout based on your province. All prices shown on this page are pre-tax. Your total at roblox.com will show the tax amount before you confirm the payment.

Common provincial rates for digital purchases:

  • Ontario: 13% HST
  • British Columbia: 12% (5% GST + 7% PST)
  • Quebec: 14.975% (5% GST + 9.975% QST)
  • Alberta: 5% GST only
  • Nova Scotia: 15% HST

Roblox sets the rate automatically based on your billing address. If your account shows the wrong province, updating your billing address in account settings will correct the tax rate at checkout.

How to get more Robux per dollar in Canada

A few straightforward steps make a real difference:

  • Buy through roblox.com or the desktop app, not the iOS or Android app, to avoid the platform fee.
  • Redeem gift cards at roblox.com/redeem rather than buying Robux through the in-app purchase screen on a phone.
  • Check the current CAD subscription price for Roblox Premium and compare it against buying the same Robux amount outright before subscribing.
  • Watch for promotional Robux bonuses on higher purchase tiers, which Roblox runs from time to time.

The calculator on the homepage converts any Robux or CAD amount at the current rate, in both directions, so you can check the numbers before you commit to a purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does Robux cost in Canada?

Robux costs $0.0168 CAD per Robux through the web store as of June 2026. At that rate, 1,000 Robux is $16.80 CAD, 5,000 Robux is $84.00 CAD, and 10,000 Robux is $168.00 CAD. Tax is added at checkout based on your province. Buying through the iOS or Android app costs more due to platform fees charged by Apple and Google.

How much is $20 CAD in Robux?

$20 CAD gets you approximately 1,190 Robux through the web store at the current rate. The calculation is 20 divided by 0.0168, which equals 1,190.48. Roblox uses whole Robux only, so you receive 1,190. Buying through the Roblox mobile app on iOS or Android for the same $20 will give you fewer Robux due to app store fees.

How much is $50 CAD in Robux?

$50 CAD gets you approximately 2,976 Robux at the current web store rate. The calculation is 50 divided by 0.0168, which equals 2,976.19. This is the pre-tax figure for purchases through roblox.com or the desktop app. Tax is added at checkout based on your province.

Can I buy Roblox gift cards at Walmart in Canada?

Yes. Roblox gift cards are sold at Walmart Canada in the gift card or electronics section. They are also available at Best Buy Canada, Shoppers Drug Mart, EB Games, and the Microsoft Store. Denominations typically run from $10 to $50 CAD. Redeeming the card at roblox.com/redeem gives you the same Robux rate as a direct web store purchase and avoids the mobile platform fee.

Is Roblox free in Canada?

Roblox is free to download and play. Most games on the platform are free to access. Robux is the optional in-game currency used to buy cosmetics, clothing, game passes, and items inside games. You do not need Robux to play most games, but paid items and upgrades within games do require it. There is no subscription required to access the platform itself.

Why does Robux cost more on iPhone?

Apple charges app developers a fee on every purchase made through the App Store. Roblox passes this cost to the buyer as a reduced Robux count, not a higher listed price. The same dollar amount buys fewer Robux inside the iOS app than at roblox.com. The same situation applies on Android through Google Play. Buying at roblox.com in a browser, using the desktop app, or redeeming a gift card all avoid this extra cost entirely.

What is Roblox Premium and is it worth buying in Canada?

Roblox Premium is a monthly subscription with three tiers: 450, 1,000, and 2,200 Robux per month. It also includes a 10% bonus on additional Robux purchases and access to player-to-player item trading. To judge whether it is worth the cost, check the current CAD subscription price at roblox.com and compare it against what the same amount of Robux would cost to buy outright at the current rate of 0.0168 CAD per Robux. If the subscription is cheaper, it saves money on Robux. If you buy Robux infrequently, individual purchases as needed will likely cost less overall.

Does Roblox charge sales tax in Canada?

Yes. Roblox adds applicable sales tax at checkout based on your province. Ontario adds 13% HST, British Columbia adds 12%, and Alberta adds only 5% GST. The rates and prices on this page are pre-tax. Your final total at roblox.com will show the tax amount separately before you confirm the purchase.
