Grimpen,

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...

surewhynotlem,

$2 in quarters for the 6yo.

_pete_,

1 shiny pound coin.

It’s a bit stingy but we will usually add it to some other money to get a cheapo toy.

breakerfall,

$5 here. The last one (like last, last) was $20. https://lemmy.world/post/75069

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).

Rhs519,

We do something a bit different. Rather than cash, we get a small toy and wrap it up. (Still in the $2-$5 range).

Still slip it under the pillow.

It’s fun to watch them unwrap it. 3 kids deep, and no one has asked why our tooth fairy does it different.

Heraldique,

When I was younger it was 2$ so by today standards according to inflation statistic it would be around 3$

grahamj,

No but covid supply chain issues so $80

Our tooth fairy leaves $5 bill origami. Last tooth had a $5 ring left in it's place by morning.

I love the origami idea!

FracturedChaos,

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 pillow🤣.

faiora,

What… I thought a twoonie was generous! You guys are all crazier than I am.

badcommandorfilename,

Bluey seems to have set the going rate to 5 Dollarbucks

ehxor,

That seems like a reasonable amount to me - enough to get a little treat or what-not, but not enough to destabilise the economy

surewhynotlem,

What's the conversion rate from Dollarbucks to Dollary-do's?

lebeauc,

$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 😁

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.

ehxor,

Wow! $20! That just made me go look up how many baby teeth kids lose: 20. So you're in for $400

grahamj,

But that's 400 you won't have to spend on whatever they spend it on ;)

Look... Math isn't my strong suit okay I just really like my kids 🤣

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.
