Many tooth fairies pay $1 per tooth. Great! But some throw off the average by paying $50! What work did those kids do to earn that?! That is equivalent to working at McDonalds for almost four hours. Those fairies need to retake parenting classes since there are likely other infractions like demanding every kid get a trophy after each sport.
National Average Tooth Fairy Payouts
The latest tooth fairy national average is $5.84 per tooth. The average spent on a tooth in the Midwest is $3.63 whereas the West pays out $8.54. If toothflation is the deciding factor to move to the Midwest, you now have your rationale.
Tooth Fairy Tips: Start Low
Whatever price you start with you likely would not drop the price for later teeth. Plan accordingly. Kids lose a total of 20 baby teeth between the ages of 6-12-years old and the older they get the more negotiating seems to occur on these entitlement payouts.
Start with a range between a quarter to a dollar. Anything higher and your child may be expecting a Tesla by the 20th tooth.
Fairy Dementia
If the tooth fairy forgot your child's home pillow address either come clean to save yourself future money or tell your child to go to the bathroom for a few minutes while you inquire about the situation.
