If you're asking why did I only get 70 Robux from a 100 Robux gamepass, that is normally expected.
For a pass that you created and sell through your own experience, Roblox's current creator documentation says the creator earns 70% of the Robux spent.
So a 100 Robux sale normally results in 70 Robux of creator revenue.
The remaining portion is part of Roblox's platform transaction economics rather than missing Robux from your account.

Key Takeaways#
- A 100 Robux pass does not normally pay its creator the full 100 Robux.
- Roblox currently documents a 70% creator share for your own passes sold in your own experience.
- 100 Robux × 70% = 70 Robux.
- Earned Robux can enter Pending status before becoming spendable.
- Sales involving another creator's pass or another experience can have different revenue splits.
Where Did the Other 30 Robux Go?#
When someone spends 100 Robux on your pass, the sale price and your creator earnings are not the same number.
For a standard own-pass sale:
| Gamepass Price | Approx. Creator Revenue |
| --- | ---: |
| 50 Robux | 35 Robux |
| 100 Robux | 70 Robux |
| 200 Robux | 140 Robux |
| 500 Robux | 350 Robux |
| 1,000 Robux | 700 Robux |
The calculation is:
Sale Price × 0.70 = Creator Revenue
For 100 Robux:
100 × 0.70 = 70
So seeing 70 Robux is not evidence that another player stole 30 Robux from you.
Is This a Roblox Gamepass Tax?#
Players commonly call the difference the Roblox tax or gamepass tax.
That is useful shorthand, although Roblox's documentation usually describes platform fees and creator revenue sharing rather than presenting it as a literal government-style tax.
The important number for a normal own-pass sale is the amount the creator actually earns.
Why Haven't I Received the 70 Robux Yet?#
Because gamepass earnings can first enter Pending Robux.
Roblox calls this holding process escrow.
Your pass can show a successful sale while the earned Robux is not yet available in your spendable balance.
That is normal.

How to Check Pending Robux#
Open Roblox and go to your transaction history.
Look for your Pending Robux and incoming sales.
The transaction history is more useful than simply watching the number in the top corner of Roblox.
It lets you distinguish:
- spendable balance
- pending earnings
- individual sales
- other incoming transactions
What If My Gamepass Is Owned by a Group?#
Where the revenue lands depends on who owns the experience and relevant asset.
If the experience belongs to a group, earnings associated with it may be handled through that group's revenue rather than your personal balance.
Always confirm:
- which account created the pass
- which account/group owns the experience
- where the purchase occurred
before assuming the Robux disappeared.
Can the Revenue Split Be Different?#
Yes.
Roblox also supports situations where a creator's pass is sold inside another creator's experience.
Affiliate/platform splits can change the amount going to each party in those cases.
That is why the simple 70% calculation is most useful when discussing your own pass sold through your own experience.
How Much Should I Price a Pass If I Need 100 Robux?#
This is a different question.
If you need approximately 100 Robux in creator revenue, pricing the pass at exactly 100 Robux will not do it.
Using the standard 70% creator share:
100 ÷ 0.70 = about 142.86
Since prices use whole Robux amounts, you would need to choose an appropriate whole-number price above that result.
Remember that Roblox can update monetization rules, so always confirm current creator documentation before building important financial calculations around a percentage.
Is There a Way to Avoid the Fee?#
Do not rely on tricks claiming to bypass Roblox's platform economics.
Selling outside Roblox or making unofficial payment arrangements introduces a completely different set of risks and may violate platform rules depending on what you are doing.
For normal Roblox gamepasses, price your products while accounting for the creator share from the beginning.
Frequently Asked Questions#
Why do I get 70 Robux when someone buys my 100 Robux gamepass?#
Because Roblox currently gives the creator 70% of the Robux spent on their own pass in their own experience.
Is the missing 30 Robux pending?#
No. Pending status applies to the creator revenue you earned. The platform share is separate.
Does the 70 Robux arrive immediately?#
Not necessarily. Pass revenue can enter Pending Robux before becoming available.
Does Roblox take 30% from every possible transaction?#
Do not apply the 70/30 pass calculation blindly to every Roblox monetization system. Different products and situations can have different economics.
Can I see who purchased my pass?#
Your transaction and creator analytics can provide sales information depending on the product and account setup.
Final Thoughts#
A 100 Robux gamepass sale producing 70 Robux is normally not an error.
Think of it as:
100 Robux purchase → creator revenue share → 70 Robux earned → Pending → available balance.
Once you understand that flow, it becomes much easier to set gamepass prices without being surprised by the amount you actually receive.
