Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | 1. Basis of Presentation Nicholas Financial, Inc. (“Nicholas Financial – Canada” or the Company) is a Canadian holding company incorporated under the laws of British Columbia with several wholly-owned United States subsidiaries, including Nicholas Financial, Inc., a Florida corporation (“NFI”). The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2021, which has been derived from audited financial statements, and the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Nicholas Financial – Canada, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”), have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information, with the instructions to Form 10-Q pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and with Article 8 of Regulation S-X thereunder. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes to the consolidated financial statements required by U.S. GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to ensure the information is not misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending March 31, 2022. It is suggested that these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2021 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 22, 2021. The March 31, 2021 consolidated balance sheet included herein has been derived from the March 31, 2021 audited consolidated balance sheet included in the aforementioned Form 10-K. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change relate to the determination of the allowance for credit losses on finance receivables and fair value of the assets and liabilities for business combination. |

Revenue Recognition And Deferred Revenue [Abstract] | |
Revenue Recognition | 2. Revenue Recognition Interest income on finance receivables is recognized using the interest method. Accrual of interest income on finance receivables is suspended when a loan is contractually delinquent for 61 days or more, or the collateral is repossessed, whichever is earlier. The Company reverses the accrual of interest income when the loan is contractually delinquent 61 days or more. The Company defines a non-performing asset as one that is 61 or more days past due, a Chapter 7 bankruptcy account, or a Chapter 13 bankruptcy account that has not been confirmed by the courts, for which the accrual of interest income is suspended. Upon confirmation of a Chapter 13 bankruptcy account (BK13), the account is immediately charged-off. Upon notification of a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, an account is monitored for collectability. In the event the debtors’ balance is reduced by the bankruptcy court, the Company records a loss equal to the amount of principal balance reduction. The remaining balance is reduced as payments are received. In the event an account is dismissed from bankruptcy, the Company will decide whether to begin repossession proceedings or to allow the customer to make regularly scheduled payments. A dealer discount represents the difference between the finance receivable of a Contract, and the amount of money the Company actually pays for the Contract. The discount negotiated by the Company is a function of the lender, the wholesale value of the vehicle and competition in any given market. In making decisions regarding the purchase of a particular Contract the Company considers the following factors related to the borrower: place and length of residence; current and prior job status; history in making installment payments for automobiles; current income; and credit history. In addition, the Company examines its prior experience with Contracts purchased from the dealer, and the value of the automobile in relation to the purchase price and the term of the Contract. The dealer discount is amortized as an adjustment to yield using the interest method over the life of the loan. The average dealer discount associated with new volume for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was 6.7 % and 6.8 %, respectively, in relation to the total amount financed. Unearned insurance and fee commissions consist primarily of commissions received from the sale of ancillary products. These products include automobile warranties, roadside assistance programs, accident and health insurance, credit life insurance, involuntary unemployment insurance coverage, and forced placed automobile insurance. These commissions are amortized over the life of the contract using the effective interest method. |

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
Earnings Per Share | 3. Earnings Per Share The Company has granted stock compensation awards with nonforfeitable dividend rights which are considered participating securities. Earnings per share is calculated using the two-class method, as such awards are more dilutive under this method than the treasury stock method. Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income allocated to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, which excludes the participating securities. Diluted earnings per share includes the dilutive effect of additional potential common shares from stock compensation awards. Earnings per share have been computed based on the following weighted average number of common shares outstanding: Three months ended Six months ended 2021 2020 2021 2020 Numerator Net income per consolidated statements of income $ 1,603 $ 1,267 $ 3,332 $ 2,697 Percentage allocated to shareholders * 100 % 99 % 100 % 99 % Numerator for basic and diluted earnings per share $ 1,596 $ 1,260 $ 3,319 $ 2,682 Denominator Denominator for Basic earnings per share - weighted-average shares outstanding 7,620 7,731 7,622 7,722 Dilutive effect of stock options — — — — Denominator for diluted earnings per share 7,620 7,731 7,622 7,722 Per share income from continuing operations Basic $ 0.21 $ 0.16 $ 0.44 $ 0.34 Diluted 0.21 0.16 0.44 0.34 * Basic weighted-average shares outstanding 7,620 7,731 7,622 7,722 Basic weighted-average shares outstanding and unvested restricted stock units expected to vest 7,652 7,777 7,651 7,766 Percentage allocated to shareholders 100 % 99 % 100 % 99 % |

Receivables [Abstract] | |
Finance Receivables | 4. Finance Receivables Finance Receivables Portfolio Finance receivables consist of Contracts and Direct Loans and are detailed as follows: (In thousands) September 30, March 31, September 30, Finance receivables $ 177,013 $ 184,237 $ 198,168 Accrued interest receivable 2,405 2,285 2,817 Unearned dealer discounts ( 6,787 ) ( 7,290 ) ( 7,411 ) Unearned insurance commissions and fees ( 2,360 ) ( 2,396 ) ( 2,460 ) Purchase price discount ( 248 ) ( 364 ) ( 610 ) Finance receivables, net of unearned 170,023 176,472 190,504 Allowance for credit losses ( 4,462 ) ( 6,154 ) ( 11,469 ) Finance receivables, net $ 165,561 $ 170,318 $ 179,035 Contracts and Direct Loans each comprise a portfolio segment. The following tables present selected information on the entire portfolio of the Company: As of September 30, Contract Portfolio 2021 2020 Average APR 22.9 % 22.7 % Average discount 7.5 % 7.6 % Average term (months) 50 51 Number of active contracts 20,927 24,656 As of September 30, Direct Loan Portfolio 2021 2020 Average APR 29.0 % 27.7 % Average term (months) 27 27 Number of active contracts 5,006 3,673 The Company purchases Contracts from automobile dealers at a negotiated price that is less than the original principal amount being financed by the purchaser of the automobile. The Contracts are predominantly for used vehicles. As of September 30, 2021, the average model year of vehicles collateralizing the portfolio was a 2012 vehicle. Direct Loans are typically for amounts ranging from $ 500 to $ 15,000 and are generally secured by a lien on an automobile, watercraft or other permissible tangible personal property. The majority of Direct Loans are originated with current or former customers under the Company’s automobile financing program. The typical Direct Loan represents a better credit risk than the typical Contract due to the customer’s prior payment history with the Company; however, the underlying collateral is “typically” less valuable. In deciding whether to make a loan, the Company considers the individual’s credit history, job stability, income, and impressions created during a personal interview with a Company loan officer. Additionally, because most of the Direct Loans made by the Company to date have been made to current or former customers, the payment history of the borrower is a significant factor in making the loan decision. As of September 30, 2021, loans made by the Company pursuant to its Direct Loan program constituted approximately 10.7 % of the aggregate principal amount of the Company’s loan portfolio. Changes in the allowance for credit losses for both Contracts and Direct Loans were driven primarily by consideration of the composition of the portfolio, current economic conditions, the estimated net realizable value of the underlying collateral, historical loan loss experience, delinquency, non-performing assets, and bankrupt accounts when determining management’s estimate of probable credit losses and adequacy of the allowance for credit losses. If the allowance for credit losses is determined to be inadequate, then an additional charge to the provision would be recorded to maintain adequate reserves based on management’s evaluation of the risk inherent in the loan portfolio. Additionally, credit loss trends over several reporting periods are utilized in estimating future losses and overall portfolio performance. Conversely, the Company could identify abnormalities in the composition of the portfolio, which would indicate the calculation is overstated and management judgement may be required to determine the allowance of credit losses for both Contracts and Direct Loans. Each portfolio segment consists of smaller balance homogeneous loans which are collectively evaluated for impairment. Allowance for Credit Losses The following table sets forth a reconciliation of the changes in the allowance for credit losses on Contracts and Direct Loans for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020: Three months ended September 30, 2021 Six months ended September 30, 2021 Contracts Direct Loans Consolidated Contracts Direct Loans Consolidated Balance at beginning of $ 5,268 $ ( 18 ) $ 5,250 $ 6,001 $ 153 $ 6,154 Provision for credit losses 460 935 1,395 1,190 935 2,125 Charge-offs ( 3,128 ) ( 182 ) ( 3,310 ) ( 5,901 ) ( 373 ) ( 6,274 ) Recoveries 1,116 11 1,127 2,426 31 2,457 Balance at September 30, $ 3,716 $ 746 $ 4,462 $ 3,716 $ 746 $ 4,462 Three months ended September 30, 2020 Six months ended September 30, 2020 Contracts Direct Loans Consolidated Contracts Direct Loans Consolidated Balance at beginning of $ 10,651 $ 597 $ 11,248 $ 10,433 $ 729 $ 11,162 Provision for credit losses 3,050 - 3,050 6,350 - 6,350 Charge-offs ( 4,073 ) ( 142 ) ( 4,215 ) ( 8,407 ) ( 298 ) ( 8,705 ) Recoveries 1,349 37 1,386 2,601 61 2,662 Balance at September 30, $ 10,977 $ 492 $ 11,469 $ 10,977 $ 492 $ 11,469 The Company uses the trailing six-month charge-offs, annualized, and applies this calculated percentage to ending finance receivables to calculate estimated future probable credit losses for purposes of determining the allowance for credit losses. The Company then takes into consideration the composition of its portfolio, current economic conditions, estimated net realizable value of the underlying collateral, historical loan loss experience, delinquency, non-performing assets, and bankrupt accounts and adjusts the above, if necessary, to determine management’s total estimate of probable credit losses and its assessment of the overall adequacy of the allowance for credit losses. By including recent trends such as delinquency, non-performing assets, and bankruptcy in its determination, management believes that the allowance for credit losses reflects the current trends of incurred losses within the portfolio and is better aligned with the portfolio’s performance indicators. The following table is an assessment of the credit quality by creditworthiness: (In thousands) September 30, 2021 September 30, 2020 Contracts Direct Loans Total Contracts Direct Loans Total Performing accounts $ 153,991 $ 18,646 $ 172,637 $ 179,723 $ 12,509 $ 192,232 Non-performing accounts 3,949 198 4,147 5,564 211 5,775 Total 157,940 18,844 176,784 185,287 12,720 198,007 Chapter 13 bankruptcy 214 15 229 161 0 161 Finance receivables $ 158,154 $ 18,859 $ 177,013 $ 185,448 $ 12,720 $ 198,168 A performing account is defined as an account that is less than 61 days past due. The Company defines an automobile contract as delinquent when more than 10 % of a payment contractually due by a certain date has not been paid immediately by the following due date, which date may have been extended within limits specified in the servicing agreements or as a result of a deferral. The period of delinquency is based on the number of days payments are contractually past due, as extended where applicable. In certain circumstances, the Company will grant obligors one-month payment extensions. The only modification of terms in those circumstances is to advance the obligor’s next due date by one month and extend the maturity date of the receivable. There are no other concessions, such as a reduction in interest rate, or forgiveness of principal or of accrued interest. Accordingly, the Company considers such extensions to be insignificant delays in payments rather than troubled debt restructurings. A non-performing account is defined as an account that is contractually delinquent for 61 days or more or is a Chapter 13 bankruptcy account for which the accrual interest income has been suspended. The Company’s charge-off policy is to charge off an account in the month the contract becomes 121 days contractually delinquent. In the event an account is dismissed from bankruptcy, the Company will decide whether to begin repossession proceedings or to allow the customer to make regularly scheduled payments. The following tables present certain information regarding the delinquency rates experienced by the Company with respect to Contracts and Direct Loans, excluding Chapter 13 bankruptcy accounts: Contracts (In thousands, except percentages) Balance 30 – 59 60 – 89 90 – 119 120+ Total September 30, 2021 $ 157,940 $ 7,990 $ 2,905 $ 1,024 $ 19 $ 11,938 5.06 % 1.84 % 0.65 % 0.01 % 7.56 % March 31, 2021 $ 170,195 $ 6,289 $ 2,430 $ 896 $ 42 $ 9,657 3.70 % 1.43 % 0.53 % 0.02 % 5.67 % September 30, 2020 $ 185,287 $ 10,232 $ 3,962 $ 1,560 $ 42 $ 15,796 5.52 % 2.14 % 0.84 % 0.02 % 8.53 % Direct Loans Balance 30 – 59 60 – 89 90 – 119 120+ Total September 30, 2021 $ 18,844 $ 416 $ 145 $ 53 $ — $ 614 2.21 % 0.77 % 0.28 % — 3.26 % March 31, 2021 $ 13,909 $ 253 $ 101 $ 81 $ 10 $ 445 1.82 % 0.73 % 0.58 % 0.07 % 3.20 % September 30, 2020 $ 12,720 $ 349 $ 159 $ 52 $ — $ 560 2.74 % 1.25 % 0.41 % — 4.40 % |

Line Of Credit Facility [Abstract] | |
Credit Facility | 5. Credit Facility Ares Credit Facility On March 29, 2019, NF Funding I, a wholly-owned, special purpose financing subsidiary of NFI entered into a senior secured credit facility (the “Ares Credit Facility”) pursuant to a credit agreement with Ares Agent Services, L.P., as administrative agent and collateral agent, and the lenders that are party thereto (the “Ares Credit Agreement”). Pursuant to the Ares Credit Agreement, the lenders agreed to extend to NF Funding I a line of credit of up to $ 175,000,000 , which was used to purchase motor vehicle retail installment sale contracts from NFI on a revolving basis pursuant to a related receivables purchase agreement between NF Funding I and NFI (the “Receivables Purchase Agreement”). Under the terms of the Receivables Purchase Agreement, NFI sold to NF Funding I the installment sale contracts. NFI serviced the motor vehicle retail installment sale contracts transferred to NF Funding I pursuant to a related servicing agreement (the “Servicing Agreement”). The availability of funds under the Ares Credit Facility was generally limited to 82.5 % of the value of non-delinquent receivables, and outstanding advances under the Ares Credit Facility accrued interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 3.75 %. If LIBOR dropped below 1 %, the Company still accrued interest at a rate of 1 % plus 3.75 % . The commitment period for advances under the Ares Credit Facility was three years . At the end of the commitment period, the outstanding balance would convert to a term loan and require monthly principal and interest payments over a four-year amortization period. In connection with the Ares Credit Facility, NFI guaranteed NF Funding I’s obligations under the Ares Credit Agreement up to 10 % of the highest aggregate principal amount outstanding under the Ares Credit Agreement at any time pursuant to a limited guaranty. The Company was also obligated to cover any losses of the lender parties resulting from certain defined “bad acts” of the Company or its subsidiaries, such as fraud, misappropriation of funds or unpermitted disposition of the assets. Pursuant to the related security agreement (the “Security Agreement”), NF Funding I granted a security interest in substantially all of its assets as collateral for its obligations under the Ares Credit Facility. In addition, NFI pledged the equity interests of NF Funding I, as additional collateral. The Ares Credit Agreement and the other loan documents contained customary events of default and negative covenants, including but not limited to those governing indebtedness, liens, fundamental changes, investments, and sales of receivables. If an event of default occurred, the lenders could have increased borrowing costs, restricted NF Funding I’s ability to obtain additional advances under the Ares Credit Facility, accelerated all amounts outstanding under the Ares Credit Facility, enforced their interest against collateral pledged under the Ares Credit Facility or enforced their rights under the Company’s guarantees. Once sold to NF Funding I, the assets described above were separate and distinct from the Company’s own assets and were not available to the Company’s creditors in case of the Company’s insolvency, although they are presented on a consolidated basis on the Company’s balance sheet see “Note 11-Variable Interest Entity” . As of September 30, 2021, the Company had aggregate outstanding indebtedness under the Ares Credit Facility of $ 71.5 million, compared to $ 88.3 million as of March 31, 2021. Future maturities of debt as of September 30, 2021 were as follows: (in thousands) FY2022 $ 2,882 FY2023 18,243 FY2024 17,883 FY2025 17,883 FY2026 17,883 $ 74,774 As disclosed in Note 14 - Subsequent Events, the Ares Credit Facility was repaid in full on November 5, 2021 using the proceeds from a new credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Disclosures | 8. Fair Value Disclosures The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, finance receivables, repossessed assets, and the credit facility. For each of these financial instruments, the carrying value approximates fair value. Finance receivables, net, approximates fair value based on the price paid to acquire Contracts. The price paid reflects competitive market interest rates and purchase discounts for the Company’s chosen credit grade in the economic environment. This market is highly liquid as the Company acquires individual loans on a daily basis from dealers. The initial terms of the Contracts generally range from 12 to 72 months. Beginning in December 2017, the maximum initial term of a Contract was reduced to 60 months. The initial terms of the Direct Loans generally range from 12 to 60 months. If liquidated outside of the normal course of business, the amount received may not be the carrying value. Repossessed assets are valued at the lower of the finance receivable balance prior to repossession or the estimated net realizable value of the repossessed asset. The Company estimates the net realizable value using estimated auction wholesale proceeds less costs to sell plus insurance claims outstanding, if any. Based on these market conditions, the fair value of the Ares Credit Facility as of September 30, 2021 was estimated to be equal to the book value. The interest rate for the Ares Credit Facility is a variable rate based on LIBOR pricing options. (In thousands) Fair Value Measurement Using Description Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Fair Carrying Cash and restricted cash: September 30, 2021 $ 22,851 $ - $ - $ 22,851 $ 22,851 March 31, 2021 $ 32,977 $ - $ - $ 32,977 $ 32,977 Finance receivables: September 30, 2021 $ - $ - $ 165,561 $ 165,561 $ 165,561 March 31, 2021 $ - $ - $ 170,318 $ 170,318 $ 170,318 Repossessed assets: September 30, 2021 $ - $ - $ 859 $ 859 $ 859 March 31, 2021 $ - $ - $ 685 $ 685 $ 685 Credit facility: September 30, 2021 $ - $ - $ 71,530 $ 71,530 $ 71,530 March 31, 2021 $ - $ - $ 88,300 $ 88,300 $ 88,300 Note Payable: September 30, 2021 $ - $ - $ 3,244 $ 3,244 $ 3,244 March 31, 2021 $ - $ - $ 3,244 $ 3,244 $ 3,244 The Company may be required, from time to time, to measure certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. At each reporting period, all assets and liabilities for which the fair value measurement is based on significant unobservable inputs are classified as Level 3. Level 2 assets are financial assets and liabilities that do not have regular market pricing, but whose fair value can be determined based on other data values or market pricing. Management has determined that this level to be most appropriate for the credit facility and note payable shown in the table above. |

Commitments and Contingencies | 9. Commitments and Contingencies The Company currently is not a party to any pending legal proceedings other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to its business, none of which, if decided adversely to the Company, would, in the opinion of management, have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will ultimately impact our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows will depend on numerous evolving factors that we are unable to accurately predict at this time. The length and scope of the restrictions imposed by various governments and success of vaccination efforts, among other factors, will determine the ultimate severity of the COVID-19 impact on our business. It is likely that prolonged periods of difficult market conditions could have material adverse impacts on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 10. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Recent Accounting Pronouncements In June 2016, the FASB issued the ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. Among other things, the amendments in this ASU require the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial instruments held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Financial institutions and other organizations will now use forward-looking information to better inform their credit loss estimates. Many of the loss estimation techniques applied today will still be permitted, although the inputs to those techniques will change to reflect the full amount of expected credit losses. The ASU also requires additional disclosures related to estimates and judgments used to measure all expected credit losses. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. Recently, the FASB voted to delay the implementation date for this accounting standard, for smaller reporting companies, the new effective date is beginning after December 15, 2022, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this ASU on the consolidated financial statements and is collecting and analyzing data that will be needed to produce historical inputs into any models created as a result of adopting this ASU. At this time, the Company believes the adoption of this ASU will likely have a material effect and is expected to increase the overall allowance for credit losses. In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitating of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions in which the reference LIBOR or another reference rate is expected to be discontinued as a result of the Reference Rate Reform. This ASU is intended to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. The new guidance was effective immediately and through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the adoption of this standard will have on its financial statements. The Company does not believe there are any other recently issued accounting standards that have not yet been adopted that will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. |

Variable Interest Entity [Abstract] | |
Variable Interest Entity | 11. Variable Interest Entity In March 2019, the Company entered into a new senior secured credit facility collateralized by consumer finance receivables by transferring the receivables into a bankruptcy-remote variable interest entity (VIE). Under the terms of the transaction, all cash collections and other cash proceeds of the customer receivables went first to the servicer and the holders of the asset-backed notes, and then to the residual equity holder. The Company retained the servicing of the portfolio and received a monthly fee of 2.5 % (annualized) based on the outstanding balance of the financed receivables, and the Company held all of the residual equity as of September 30, 2021. In addition, the Company, rather than the VIE, retained certain credit insurance income together with certain recoveries related to credit insurance and on charge-offs of the financed receivables, which would continue to be reflected as a reduction of net charge-offs on a consolidated basis for as long as the Company consolidated the VIE. The Company consolidated the VIE when the Company determined that it is the primary beneficiary, the Company has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the performance of the VIE and it has the obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive significant residual returns. The assets of the VIE served as collateral for the obligations of the VIE. The lender had no recourse to assets outside of the VIE. The following table presents the assets and liabilities held by the VIE (for legal purposes, the assets and the liabilities of the VIE remained distinct from the Company): September 30, 2021 March 31, 2021 Assets Restricted cash $ 7,240 $ 10,955 Finance receivables, net 131,033 150,706 Repossessed assets 745 631 Total assets $ 139,018 $ 162,292 Liabilities Credit facility $ 69,599 $ 86,154 Accounts payable and accrued expenses 324 405 Total liabilities $ 69,923 $ 86,559 |

The authorization was effective immediately. The timing and actual number of repurchases will depend on a variety of factors, including stock price, corporate and regulatory requirements and other market and economic conditions. The Company’s stock repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time. In August 2019, the Company’s Board authorized additional repurchases of up to $ 1.0 million of the Company’s outstanding shares.

Note Payable | Note 13. Note Payable On May 27, 2020, the Company obtained a loan in the amount of $ 3,243,900 from a bank in connection with the U.S. Small Business Administration’s (“SBA”) Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP Loan”). Pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program, all or a portion of the PPP Loan may be forgiven if the Company uses the proceeds of the PPP Loan for its payroll costs and other expenses in accordance with the requirements of the Paycheck Protection Program. The Company used the proceeds of the PPP Loan for payroll costs and other covered expenses and sought full forgiveness of the PPP Loan, but there can be no assurance that the Company will obtain any forgiveness of the PPP Loan. The Company submitted the forgiveness application to Fifth Third Bank, the lender, on December 7, 2020 and submitted supplemental documentation on January 16, 2021. Currently the application is pending SBA decision. Therefore, per the Paycheck Protection Flexibility Act of 2020, P.L. 116-142, all loan payments are deferred while the Company awaits the SBA’s decision on loan forgiveness. If the PPP Loan is not fully forgiven, the Company will remain liable for the full and punctual payment of the outstanding principal balance plus accrued and unpaid interest. Unless forgiven, the outstanding principal balance plus accrued and unpaid interest (accruing at the rate of 1.00 % per annum) is due on May 22, 2022 . The PPP Loan is unsecured. The PPP Loan may be prepaid at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties. The related promissory note contains events of default and other provisions customary for a loan of this type. |

Subsequent Events [Abstract] | |
Subsequent Events | Note 14. Subsequent Events On November 5, 2021, Nicholas Financial, Inc., a Florida corporation (“Nicholas-Florida”) and Nicholas Data Services, Inc., a Florida corporation (“NDS” and collectively with Nicholas-Florida, the “Borrowers”), two wholly-owned subsidiaries of Nicholas Financial, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a senior secured credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) pursuant to a loan and security agreement by and among the Borrowers, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as agent, and the lenders that are party thereto (the “Credit Agreement”). A copy of the Credit Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference. The prior credit facility pursuant to a credit agreement among the Company’s subsidiary NF Funding I, LLC, Ares Agent Services, L.P. and the lenders party thereto was paid off in connection with entering into this Credit Facility. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the lenders have agreed to extend to the Borrowers a line of credit of up to $ 175,000,000 . The availability of funds under the Credit Facility is generally limited to an advance rate of between 80 % and 85 % of the value of eligible receivables, and outstanding advances under the Credit Facility will accrue interest at a rate equal to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus 2.25 %. The commitment period for advances under the Credit Facility is three years (the expiration of that time period, the “Maturity Date”). Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Borrowers granted a security interest in substantially all of their assets as collateral for their obligations under the Credit Facility. Furthermore, pursuant to a separate collateral pledge agreement, NDS pledged its equity interest in Nicholas-Florida as additional collateral. The Credit Agreement and the other loan documents contain customary events of default and negative covenants, including but not limited to those governing indebtedness, liens, fundamental changes, investments, and sales of assets. If an event of default occurs, the lenders could increase borrowing costs, restrict the Borrowers’ ability to obtain additional advances under the Credit Facility, accelerate all amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility, enforce their interest against collateral pledged under the Credit Facility or enforce such other rights and remedies as they have under the loan documents or applicable law as secured lenders. If the lenders terminate the Credit Facility following the occurrence of an event of default under the loan documents, or the Borrowers prepay the loan and terminate the Credit Facility prior to the Maturity Date, then the Borrowers are obligated to pay a termination or prepayment fee in an amount equal to a percentage of $ 175,000,000 , calculated as 2 % if the termination or prepayment occurs during year one, 1 % if the termination or repayment occurs during year two, and 0.5 % if the termination or prepayment occurs thereafter. In connection with the refinancing and as required under GAAP, the Company expects to recognize a non-cash charge of approximately $ 1.9 million in the quarter ending December 31, 2021, representing the unamortized portion of debt origination costs associated with its prior credit facility. |

Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation Nicholas Financial, Inc. (“Nicholas Financial – Canada” or the Company) is a Canadian holding company incorporated under the laws of British Columbia with several wholly-owned United States subsidiaries, including Nicholas Financial, Inc., a Florida corporation (“NFI”). The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2021, which has been derived from audited financial statements, and the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Nicholas Financial – Canada, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”), have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information, with the instructions to Form 10-Q pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and with Article 8 of Regulation S-X thereunder. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes to the consolidated financial statements required by U.S. GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to ensure the information is not misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending March 31, 2022. It is suggested that these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2021 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 22, 2021. The March 31, 2021 consolidated balance sheet included herein has been derived from the March 31, 2021 audited consolidated balance sheet included in the aforementioned Form 10-K. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change relate to the determination of the allowance for credit losses on finance receivables and fair value of the assets and liabilities for business combination. |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition Interest income on finance receivables is recognized using the interest method. Accrual of interest income on finance receivables is suspended when a loan is contractually delinquent for 61 days or more, or the collateral is repossessed, whichever is earlier. The Company reverses the accrual of interest income when the loan is contractually delinquent 61 days or more. The Company defines a non-performing asset as one that is 61 or more days past due, a Chapter 7 bankruptcy account, or a Chapter 13 bankruptcy account that has not been confirmed by the courts, for which the accrual of interest income is suspended. Upon confirmation of a Chapter 13 bankruptcy account (BK13), the account is immediately charged-off. Upon notification of a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, an account is monitored for collectability. In the event the debtors’ balance is reduced by the bankruptcy court, the Company records a loss equal to the amount of principal balance reduction. The remaining balance is reduced as payments are received. In the event an account is dismissed from bankruptcy, the Company will decide whether to begin repossession proceedings or to allow the customer to make regularly scheduled payments. A dealer discount represents the difference between the finance receivable of a Contract, and the amount of money the Company actually pays for the Contract. The discount negotiated by the Company is a function of the lender, the wholesale value of the vehicle and competition in any given market. In making decisions regarding the purchase of a particular Contract the Company considers the following factors related to the borrower: place and length of residence; current and prior job status; history in making installment payments for automobiles; current income; and credit history. In addition, the Company examines its prior experience with Contracts purchased from the dealer, and the value of the automobile in relation to the purchase price and the term of the Contract. The dealer discount is amortized as an adjustment to yield using the interest method over the life of the loan. The average dealer discount associated with new volume for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was 6.7 % and 6.8 %, respectively, in relation to the total amount financed. Unearned insurance and fee commissions consist primarily of commissions received from the sale of ancillary products. These products include automobile warranties, roadside assistance programs, accident and health insurance, credit life insurance, involuntary unemployment insurance coverage, and forced placed automobile insurance. These commissions are amortized over the life of the contract using the effective interest method. |

Many of the loss estimation techniques applied today will still be permitted, although the inputs to those techniques will change to reflect the full amount of expected credit losses. The ASU also requires additional disclosures related to estimates and judgments used to measure all expected credit losses. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. Recently, the FASB voted to delay the implementation date for this accounting standard, for smaller reporting companies, the new effective date is beginning after December 15, 2022, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this ASU on the consolidated financial statements and is collecting and analyzing data that will be needed to produce historical inputs into any models created as a result of adopting this ASU. At this time, the Company believes the adoption of this ASU will likely have a material effect and is expected to increase the overall allowance for credit losses. In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitating of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions in which the reference LIBOR or another reference rate is expected to be discontinued as a result of the Reference Rate Reform. This ASU is intended to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. The new guidance was effective immediately and through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the adoption of this standard will have on its financial statements. The Company does not believe there are any other recently issued accounting standards that have not yet been adopted that will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. |
