Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	Mar. 30, 2019
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation: The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Tupperware Brands Corporation and its subsidiaries, collectively “Tupperware” or the “Company”, with all intercompany transactions and balances having been eliminated. These condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the audited 2018 financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2018. These condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared following the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and, in the Company's opinion, reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring items that are necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the balance sheet, statements of income, comprehensive income, statements of shareholder’s equity and cash flows prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted as permitted by such rules and regulations. Operating results of any interim period presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full fiscal year.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.
Derivatives	Hedging: On December 30, 2018, the Company adopted new guidance on hedge accounting, which required a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings and accumulated other comprehensive income of $5.0 million, net of taxes. As part of the adoption, the Company elected to include forward points in the assessment of hedge effectiveness for net equity and cash flow hedges and exclude forward points in the assessment for fair value hedges. In addition, the Company now records the entire change in fair value of hedging instruments in the same income statement line item as the earnings effect of the hedged item. Prior to adoption, the impact from forward points was recorded as interest expense. Refer to Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion on impact from new hedge accounting guidance.
Leases	Leases: On December 30, 2018, the Company adopted new guidance on lease accounting using the modified retrospective method, which required a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings of $7.1 million, net of taxes. Prior periods have not been restated. The standard did not materially impact consolidated net income or liquidity, and did not have an impact on debt-covenant compliance under the Company's debt agreements. The new guidance was applied to all operating and capital leases at the date of initial application. Leases historically referred to as capital leases are now referred to as finance leases under the new guidance. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance, and as a basis for its lease policies, which allowed the Company to carryforward its historical assessments of: (1) whether contracts are or contain leases, (2) lease classification and (3) initial direct costs. The Company also elected to not separate lease and non-lease components for all classes of underlying assets in which it is the lessee, and made an accounting policy election to not account for leases with an initial term of 12 months or less on the balance sheet. In addition, the Company did not elect the hindsight practical expedient to determine the reasonably certain lease term for existing leases. The Company recognizes payments on these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Adoption of the new standard resulted in the recording of additional net lease assets and lease liabilities of $82.0 million and $83.3 million, respectively, as of March 30, 2019 related to the Company's operating leases. The standard did not materially impact the Company's consolidated net earnings or cash flows. Refer to Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.
Foreign Currency Translation	Foreign Currency Translation: Inflation in Argentina and Venezuela has been at a high level the past several years. The Company uses a blended index of the Consumer Price Index and National Consumer Price Index for determining highly inflationary status in these countries. For Argentina, this blended index reached cumulative three-year inflation in excess of 100 percent in 2018 and as such, the Company transitioned to highly inflationary status as of July 1, 2018. Venezuela was determined to be highly inflationary starting in 2010. Gains and losses resulting from the translation of the financial statements of subsidiaries operating in highly inflationary economies are recorded in earnings. As of March 30, 2019, the Company had approximately $1.7 million of net monetary assets in Argentina, which are of a nature that will generate income or expense for the change in value associated with exchange rate fluctuations versus the U.S. dollar. There were no material monetary assets or liabilities in Venezuela as of March 30, 2019.
