Limited Item Profit Calculator

Buy low, sell high, and beat the Roblox marketplace tax. Work out your true profit on limited flips with precise, trader-friendly stats.

Roblox usually takes around 30% when you sell through the marketplace. This only applies on the sell price, not on what you originally paid.

Flip results

Enter a buy price, sell price, and tax percent to see your true profit after marketplace fees.

How this works

In Analyze existing flip mode, the calculator takes your buy price, sell price and tax, then computes:

net_after_tax = sell_price × (1 − tax%) profit = net_after_tax − buy_price profit% = profit ÷ buy_price × 100

In Plan target profit mode, you flip it around. You set your target profit %, and the tool solves for the sell price that hits it:

required_net = buy_price × (1 + target_profit%) required_sell = required_net ÷ (1 − tax%)

That's what makes this powerful for traders and UGC sellers: you can quickly check if a flip is actually good, or work backwards from the profit you want and list with confidence. The share block at the bottom gives you a one-tap summary you can drop straight into Discord or DMs.

Limited Item Profit Calculator

The Limited Item Profit Calculator shows how much you really make when you flip Roblox limiteds. You enter what you paid, the price you want to sell for, and the marketplace fee. The tool then calculates your profit, return, and breakeven point.

It is built for traders who care about actual profit, not just big sale numbers on the listing screen.

How Limited Item Profit Actually Works

When you resell a Roblox limited, three main numbers matter:

  • Buy price.What you originally paid for the item, or the value you gave up in a trade.
  • Sale price.The amount you list the limited for on the marketplace.
  • Marketplace fee.The percentage Roblox takes from your sale before you get the Robux.

The calculator removes the fee from your sale price, then subtracts your buy cost. What is left is your real profit. It also shows your return as a percentage, so you can compare different flips.

Profit, ROI, And Breakeven Formulas

The math is simple once you see it laid out. Here is what the calculator is doing under the hood.

Net Robux after marketplace fee

Net = Sale price × (1 − Fee%)

Example with 30 percent fee: Fee% = 0.30 so you keep 0.70 Sale price 10,000 → Net = 10,000 × 0.70 = 7,000 Robux

Profit on the limited

Profit = Net − Buy price

If you paid 5,000 and net 7,000, your profit is 2,000 Robux.

Return on investment (ROI)

ROI% = (Profit ÷ Buy price) × 100

Profit 2,000 on a 5,000 cost: ROI = (2,000 ÷ 5,000) × 100 = 40 percent

Breakeven sale price

Breakeven price = Buy price ÷ (1 − Fee%)

Example with 30 percent fee and 5,000 buy price: Breakeven price = 5,000 ÷ 0.70 ≈ 7,143 Robux Any lower and you lose money after fees.

How Traders Use The Limited Profit Calculator

Checking flips before you list

Before undercutting a busy market, enter your target sale price and see your net. If the profit or ROI looks weak, you can hold the item, adjust the price, or look for a better opportunity.

Planning safe minimum prices

Use the breakeven formula to find the absolute lowest price you can list for without losing Robux. Then set your real minimum a bit above that to protect your profit margin.

Comparing quick flips and long holds

Plug in different future sale prices for the same item. You can see how much more you would make if the market rises and decide whether a quick flip now or a longer hold later looks better.

Tracking a portfolio of limiteds

Run the calculator on each item using current floor prices and your original costs. That gives you a rough view of how your collection is performing overall, not just on one lucky trade.

Limited Flip Examples With 30 Percent Fee

These examples assume a 30 percent marketplace fee where you keep 70 percent of the sale price. They are not official numbers, just realistic trading scenarios.

Simple profit examples

  • Buy 3,000 → Sell 5,000 → Net 3,500 → Profit 500
  • Buy 5,000 → Sell 10,000 → Net 7,000 → Profit 2,000
  • Buy 8,000 → Sell 12,000 → Net 8,400 → Profit 400
  • Buy 15,000 → Sell 25,000 → Net 17,500 → Profit 2,500

ROI comparisons

  • Buy 5,000 → Profit 500 → ROI = 10 percent
  • Buy 5,000 → Profit 2,000 → ROI = 40 percent
  • Buy 10,000 → Profit 5,000 → ROI = 50 percent
  • Buy 20,000 → Profit 4,000 → ROI = 20 percent

The calculator makes it easy to see that a smaller flip can sometimes give a better percentage return than a big one.

Limited Item Profit Calculator FAQ

These are some of the most common questions traders ask when they start looking past sale price and focus on real profit.

Profit is the Robux you have left after you sell the item, pay the marketplace fee, and subtract what you originally paid for it. If you bought a limited for 5,000 Robux and get 6,300 Robux after fees, your profit is 1,300 Robux.
