Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation: The 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 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 for complete financial statements have been condensed or omitted as permitted by such rules and regulations. As such, these consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the audited 2019 consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2019. 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.
