I did $5 for the first one ever, however, weeks later she had a meltdown and demanded that the tooth fairy return the tooth. She even tried to put the $5 back under her pillowπ€£.

$5 a tooth, although I'm a little cheap and this was 8 to 10 years ago. Probably up to $50 a tooth now with the recent inflation π
It depends on how many small bills the tooth fairy happens to have on him at the relevant night. I'm only a little ashamed in admitting that, one day when only $20s were in the wallet, I may have snuck into the LO's room, grabbed a couple of singles from her piggy bank, and then had the tooth fairy give her those (supplementing later, of course).

What⦠I thought a twoonie was generous! You guys are all crazier than I am.
The "normal" rate is a Toonie a Tooth, but subject to the assessment, sometimes it's a fiver.
Some might say it's determined by the Tooth Fairy's ready supply of change, but I'm sure it's because each tooth is individually graded...
When I was younger it was 2$ so by today standards according to inflation statistic it would be around 3$
No but covid supply chain issues so $80
I'm pretty bad at tipping, I usually give too much so I don't know I just shove $20 and hope for the best lol.
Wow! $20! That just made me go look up how many baby teeth kids lose: 20. So you're in for $400
Look... Math isn't my strong suit okay I just really like my kids π€£
We went down this route, and it's one of my big regrets. Was AU$2 a tooth and a wish, which started as an easy and cheap soft toy (think a couple of bucks max). But it's turned into $2/tooth cumulative, ie. Tooth 10 gets $20, tooth 11 gets $22 etc, and a wish.... Cue late night runs to Kmart and lots of grumbling about why we are doing this.
Bluey seems to have set the going rate to 5 Dollarbucks
What's the conversion rate from Dollarbucks to Dollary-do's?
