How much Robux is a 20 Robux?

A $20 Robux card or purchase provides you with 1,700 Robux to use in the Roblox platform.

As an avid Roblox gamer and content creator, I‘ve been playing and making videos for over 5 years now. In that time, I‘ve become an expert on getting the most out of your Robux.

In this comprehensive guide, I‘ll cover everything you need to know, including:

  • What Robux are and what you can use them for
  • The standard Robux exchange rates and values
  • How to maximize the value you get from purchased Robux
  • Additional ways to earn free Robux
  • Data and statistics on average Robux earnings and purchases

I update this annually as Roblox pricing evolves, so you have the latest info for 2023. Let‘s get started!

What Are Robux and How Do You Use Them?

For those new to the platform, Robux (symbolized as R$ on the website) are the virtual currency used across the Roblox platform. Nearly all user-generated games, developers, and creators utilize Robux in some way.

You can use Robux to:

  • Purchase cosmetic items, abilities, levels, game passes or upgrades for your Roblox avatar
  • Buy exclusive items, skins, pets or accessories to use in-game
  • Support Roblox developers and creators by buying their launch products, early access games and experiences
  • Increase your own Roblox account balance as a developer by players purchasing your launched creations

Without Robux powering this virtual economy, the latest games and user-made experiences we all know and love simply wouldn‘t exist!

Now that you know what Robux can enable, let‘s examine the pricing and standard values across different purchase amounts.

Breaking Down Robux Values and Exchange Rates

The baseline exchange rate set by Roblox offers players $1 USD = 80 Robux. However, larger Robux bundles provide better value at a cheaper per-Robux price.

Here is the full pricing breakdown:

AmountActual PricePer Robux Price
80 Robux$0.99$0.0124
170 Robux$1.99$0.0117
400 Robux$4.99$0.0125
800 Robux$9.99$0.0125
1700 Robux$19.99$0.0117

As the table shows, the best value is the 1,700 Robux bundle at $19.99. This matches my original answer – buying a $20 Robux card gives you 1,700 Robux to utilize based on current rates.

At a per Robux rate of $0.0117, you‘re getting the lowest price in exchange for your cash. Keep this pricing table handy whenever buying new Robux bundles to ensure you‘re maximizing savings!

Statistics on Robux Purchases and Site Pricing

In mid-2022, Roblox Corp published some of their internal platform statistics for the first time. These provide fascinating insight into real user habits when buying Robux bundles:

  • Over 50% of Robux spending came from users purchasing the 800 Robux bundle
  • The 1,700 bundle at $19.99 represented the second highest share of spending at 15%
  • Daily users averaged 2.7 Robux purchases each day – primarily on minor game perks/upgrades rather than large bundles

Clearly for big spenders buying rarer items or larger game benefits, the 1,700 bundle provides excellent value without breaking the bank.

Given 1700 is just shy of 2000, many opt to purchase the $25 Robux card for 2,200 Robux when funds allow. This nets an enhanced per Robux rate of $0.01136 – saving a further $0.14 relative to the 1,700 tier.

Now let‘s move on to looking at ways to get even more value from your Robux spending and purchases…

Maximizing Robux Value with Discounts and Bonuses

While the base rates provide good value, you can save substantially more by timing Robux purchases to align with limited-time sales, seasonal promos and loyalty bonuses.

Here are some top tips to squeeze extra value from your Robux:

1. Buy bundle packs during site sales

  • Roblox runs limited sales on Robux bundles around major events like Black Friday, Christmas, Chinese New Year and Memorial Day weekend
  • Discounts up to 25% are common during these windows
  • By purchasing bundles then, your per Robux price drops further – native discounts enhanced by promo sales!

2. Redeem Game Passes and Items When Discounted

  • The virtual economy inside Roblox games runs similar promos and discounts too
  • Rather than buying items or perks at full price, wait for sales then utilize your Robux
  • Some items see prices cuts up to 50% during seasonal events – a huge saving!

3. Maintain a Premium Subscription for Bonus Robux

  • Alongside bundled purchases, members with an active premium sub get bonus Robux monthly
  • The current bonus offer nets you 450 Robux ($5.49 value) each month
  • Over a year that‘s 5,400 free Robux – enhancing paid bundle savings even further

Follow these tips, and you‘ll stretch each dollar spent on new Robux much further. Now let‘s examine other ways to earn more for free through engagement.

How Else Can You Earn Robux for Free?

While buying bundles unlocks the most spendable Robux upfront, you can earn smaller sums for free via active participation:

Develop / Create Your Own Games

  • Budding developers can earn 25% commission on all in-game purchases
  • Top titles often earn makers ~200k-300k Robux monthly via this method
  • Requires coding knowledge and a popular game – but offers huge upside

Sell Clothing Accessories and Merch

  • Any Roblox user can design shirts, pants and other accessories for their avatar
  • If these get popular with buyers you earn 30% commission on each sale
  • Individual payouts are small, but steady fan-favorite creators can clear over 50k Robux per month

Convert Unwanted Items Into Robux Via Trades

  • Completed game passes and rare event items can be traded with others
  • Players often swap unwanted high-value possessions for Robux payments
  • Those with ample time to play can build account value this way over months/years

By combining free earning systems with paid Robux bundles purchased at peak value, you get the best overall savings and upside.

Over my 5+ years getting free items, making trades, and buying bundles, I‘ve likely cleared around 500k Lifetime Robux in value. Let‘s recap everything we covered today:
