How much does the Tooth Fairy leave?

    One of the most common questions parents ask is how much the Tooth Fairy should leave. There is no single right answer — but here is what is most common, and how to keep it simple.

    Typical amounts

    Amounts vary widely by country and family. In the UK the Tooth Fairy typically leaves between £1 and £5 per tooth; in the US, around $1 to $5. Many families give a little extra for the very first tooth.

    What matters most is not the amount, but that it feels right for your family and stays consistent over time.

    Tips to keep it simple

    Decide on an amount in advance and stick to it, so it stays fair between siblings. A small coin plus a note from the Tooth Fairy often means more than a large sum.
