Roblox Premium Explained: Tiers, Monthly Robux and What Changed in 2026

Roblox Premium was the membership that paid you a monthly bundle of Robux, but there is a catch every new player needs to hear first: Roblox stopped selling Premium to new members on 30 April 2026, when a different subscription called Roblox Plus took its place. If you already pay for Premium, you can keep it, keep receiving your Robux and keep your trading access. If you have never subscribed, Premium is no longer something you can buy, whatever old guides and videos still claim.

What were the Premium tiers and what did they cost?

Premium came in three monthly tiers, and the names simply matched the Robux that landed in your account each month. In US dollars the plans were Premium 450 at $4.99 a month, Premium 1000 at $9.99 a month and Premium 2200 at $19.99 a month. Prices in other countries were set in local currency, so a British or European account saw its own figures rather than a straight conversion of those dollar prices. Everyone holding one of those plans today still pays the same rate and still receives 450, 1,000 or 2,200 Robux on each renewal, for as long as the subscription stays active.

That last point matters more than it sounds. Because Premium is closed to new sign-ups, cancelling it is a one-way door: cancel, let a payment fail, or switch away, and you cannot subscribe to Premium again afterwards. Players sitting on the 1000 or 2200 tiers in particular hold something that money genuinely cannot buy back.

What perks did Premium members actually get?

The monthly Robux was only part of the package. Premium unlocked trading, so members could swap Limited and Limited U items with other eligible players, and it allowed members to resell Limited items and to publish and sell their own avatar items in the Marketplace; the higher tiers, Premium 1000 and 2200, were the ones tied to that full selling access. Developers with Premium also received engagement-based payouts, extra Robux earned when Premium subscribers spent time in their experiences, a system that now sits under Roblox's Creator Rewards.

Two familiar perks disappeared on 30 May 2026. The old 10 percent bonus, which added extra Robux whenever a Premium member bought more, was removed, and the Premium logo that sat beside members' names on their profiles went with it. Everything else, including the stipend and trading, carried on unchanged.

What is Roblox Plus, the subscription that replaced it?

Roblox Plus launched worldwide on 30 April 2026 at $4.99 a month in US dollars, with regional pricing elsewhere (UK retailers list it at £4.99 a month). It is built on a different idea: instead of handing you Robux, it makes the Robux you already have go further. Members get 10 percent off eligible purchases paid for in Robux, covering game passes, developer products, paid experiences and avatar items, and that discount rises to 20 percent from the third consecutive month of membership. Cancelling and rejoining resets you back to 10 percent.

Plus also includes free use of paid private servers in supported games, the ability to trade and sell avatar items, a subscriber profile badge, and one genuinely new feature: members can send Robux directly from their own balance to another player with no Roblox fee, subject to age checks and daily limits. The basic plan includes no monthly Robux at all, which surprises people arriving from Premium guides. If you want a regular allowance, Roblox sells Plus bundles instead: Plus 500, Plus 1000 and Plus 2000 add that many Robux each month on top of the same Plus benefits, at prices shown in your local currency on the Buy Robux page.

Should you keep Premium if you already have it?

For most existing members, yes, at least until you have done the sums. Premium 1000 and 2200 deliver Robux every month at a rate new players can no longer get, and your trading access stays intact. Roblox even offered Premium members a free one-month trial of Plus, and the two subscriptions can run side by side, so there is no need to abandon one to try the other. The honest exception is players who barely spend their stipend and would rather have the spending discounts and free private servers; for them Plus is the better fit. What nobody should do is cancel Premium casually and assume they can change their mind later. You cannot.
