I remember when I was a kid and the tooth fairy would sneak into my room at night and take my tooth and leave a nickel. Those days are gone! A new national study asked 'how how much does the tooth fairy give for a tooth' and the number is massive!

A new study found the Tooth Fairy left an average of $4.36 for a tooth last year.  That's up 25% from 2013.  And in New York, the Tooth Fairy left an average of $13.25.

In 2013 he average tooth got a kid $3.70. That is 70 cents higher than in 2012! It is also up 1,480% from when you were lucky to get a quarter.  The reason the tooth bounty is rising so much is because parents don't want other parents to think they're cheap.

I'll say it here - I am cheap and our tooth fairy brings 35 cents per tooth. How much does the tooth fairy bring in your house?

Visa has a calculator where you can figure out the going rate for a tooth, based on where you live and what you make, called the 'Tooth Fairy Calculator Facebook App.'
