Roblox says U.S. creators with a valid W-9 on file have no U.S. withholding. Creators outside the US see 0% to 30% U.S. withholding on DevEx payments related to sales to US players, set by country of residence and any tax treaty claim. 24% backup withholding may apply to the full payout if valid tax information is missing. Year-end forms are 1099-NEC and 1099-MISC for US creators and 1042-S for creators outside the US. Roblox does not give tax advice, and neither do we. Check with a tax professional.

Cash-out steps as Roblox describes them

Open Creator Hub.
Select Finances in the left-hand navigation.
Select the Cash Out button in the top-right corner.
Fill in your legal name and the Robux amount, and agree to the terms.
Click Cash Out at the bottom. A rejected request is refunded immediately.
First time only: Roblox emails an invitation from no-reply@roblox.com to create a Tipalti account on the DevEx Portal. Choose your payment method and tax form within one week of receiving the link, or the request is declined and the Earned Robux refunded.

Payment method	Estimated business days
PayPal	2 to 3
ACH	3 to 5
eCheck	3 to 5
Wire	1 to 5
Check	7 to 14

Available methods depend on your country. Tipalti deducts a transaction fee from the payout, and converting to local currency adds a foreign exchange fee of 1.9% to 3%. The business days above are on top of Roblox's own review time. Make sure the name in the DevEx Portal matches the name on your bank account.

Questions

What is the minimum to cash out?

30,000 Earned Robux in your account. At the standard rate of $0.0038 that is $114. Only Earned Robux counts, not Robux you bought.

How often can I cash out?

Roblox allows one completed DevEx request per calendar month. If your payment arrives in January, the next request can be made in February.

Do I need to verify my ID for DevEx?

The DevEx page does not list ID verification as an eligibility requirement. It says only that if the name on your account does not match the name on your payment or tax details, the people involved will likely need to follow the ID verification process. The tax form and a verified email are required.

What changes on November 1, 2026?

Roblox says DevEx payments will be classified as royalties from that date. For creators outside the US, 0% to 30% US tax withholding applies to DevEx payments related to sales to US players, depending on residence and any tax treaty claim. 24% US backup withholding may apply to the full payout if valid tax information is not on file by October 31, 2026. Roblox recommends requesting a payout by October 15, 2026 if you want it under the current Terms of Use.

How long does a payout take?

Roblox estimates around 10 business days for a first-time participant and around 5 business days for returning participants. Requests are not processed on weekends or holidays, and your payment method adds its own time (for example PayPal 2 to 3 business days, wire 1 to 5, ACH 3 to 5).
