- In-Game Purchases: Players can buy virtual items, currency, or premium features within your game.
- Roblox Premium: Roblox offers a premium subscription service that developers can monetize.
- Ad Revenue: Roblox may display ads within your game, and you can earn a share of the revenue.

Worked Examples
Example 1: Small Game
If you expect to sell 100 games at $5 each and receive 500 in-game purchases at $2 each:
- Game Sales: 100
- Price per Game: $5
- In-Game Purchases: 500
- Price per Purchase: $2
The estimated earnings would be calculated as:
(100 × $5) + (500 × $2) × (1 - 0.30) = $500 + $1,000 × 0.70 = $500 + $700 = $1,200
Example 2: Medium Game
If you expect to sell 500 games at $10 each and receive 2,000 in-game purchases at $3 each:
- Game Sales: 500
- Price per Game: $10
- In-Game Purchases: 2,000
- Price per Purchase: $3
The estimated earnings would be calculated as:
(500 × $10) + (2,000 × $3) × (1 - 0.30) = $5,000 + $6,000 × 0.70 = $5,000 + $4,200 = $9,200
