What the 30% cut leaves you
The fee compounds with the DevEx rate, which is why the gap between what a player spends and what a creator banks is so much wider than most people expect.

The number worth internalising
A player in Ontario spends $16.20 plus 13% HST to buy 1,000 Robux, so about $18.31 leaves their bank. If they spend all of it in your experience, the marketplace fee leaves you 700 Robux, worth about $3.67 CAD through DevEx. Roughly 20 cents of every dollar a Canadian player spends reaches the creator.
Where the fee does and does not apply
The 30% marketplace fee applies to game passes, developer products, in-experience purchases and avatar marketplace sales. It is deducted automatically at the point of sale, so the figure you see in your earnings is already net of it.
It does not apply to group payouts or to Robux moved between accounts you control, though group funds carry their own rules about who can withdraw and when. It is also unrelated to the platform markup on mobile purchases, which is charged to the buyer before any of this happens.
Pricing to hit a target
Because the fee is taken from the listed price rather than added to it, pricing backwards requires dividing by 0.7. To receive 700 Robux you list at 1,000. To receive a round 1,000 Robux you list at about 1,429. Rounding means the amount that actually lands can differ by a Robux either way.
It is not really a tax
The community calls it the "Roblox tax", which is why this page exists at that name, but it is a platform commission rather than a government levy. It has nothing to do with GST, HST or the income tax you owe on DevEx payouts. Those are separate and stack on top. See the sales tax calculator for what buyers pay and the DevEx calculator for what creators owe.
