Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. These Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, reflect all normal recurring adjustments, accruals and deferrals among periods required to match costs properly with the related revenue or activity, considered necessary by The TJX Companies, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, “TJX”) for a fair statement of its Consolidated Financial Statements for the periods reported, all in conformity with GAAP consistently applied. Investments for which the Company exercises significant influence but does not have control are accounted for under the equity method. The Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements, including the related notes, contained in TJX’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 29, 2022 (“fiscal 2022”). These interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for the full fiscal year. TJX’s business, in common with the businesses of retailers generally, is subject to seasonal influences, with higher levels of sales and income generally realized in the second half of the year. The January 29, 2022 balance sheet data was derived from audited Consolidated Financial Statements and does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. Fiscal Year TJX’s fiscal year ends on the Saturday nearest to the last day of January of each year. The current fiscal year ends January 28, 2023 (“fiscal 2023”) and is a 52-week fiscal year. Fiscal 2022 was also a 52-week fiscal year. Fiscal 2024 will be a 53-week fiscal year and will end February 3, 2024. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that 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. TJX considers its accounting policies relating to inventory valuation, reserves for uncertain tax positions and loss contingencies to be the most significant accounting policies that involve management estimates and judgments. Actual amounts could differ from these estimates, and such differences could be material. Equity Investment In fiscal 2020, the Company acquired a minority ownership stake in privately held Familia, an off-price retailer of apparel and home fashions domiciled in Luxembourg that operates stores throughout Russia. During the quarter ended April 30, 2022, the Company announced that it had committed to divesting its minority investment and as a result, the Company performed an impairment analysis of this investment. Based on this analysis the Company concluded that there was an other-than-temporary impairment of this investment and recorded an impairment charge of $218 million representing the entirety of the Company’s investment. The Company completed the divestiture of this investment during the quarter ended October 29, 2022, resulting in a $54 million tax benefit. See Note F—Fair Value Measurements for additional information. Deferred Gift Card Revenue The following table presents deferred gift card revenue activity: In thousands October 29, October 30, Balance, beginning of year $ 685,202 $ 576,187 Deferred revenue 1,258,784 1,169,729 Effect of exchange rates changes on deferred revenue (9,466) 1,799 Revenue recognized (1,317,335) (1,201,704) Balance, end of period $ 617,185 $ 546,011 TJX recognized $412 million in gift card revenue for the three months ended October 29, 2022 and $400 million in gift card revenue for the three months ended October 30, 2021. Gift cards are combined in one homogeneous pool and are not separately identifiable. As such, the revenue recognized consists of gift cards that were part of the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of the period as well as gift cards that were issued during the period. Leases Supplemental cash flow information related to leases is as follows: Thirty-Nine Weeks Ended In thousands October 29, October 30, Operating cash flows paid for operating leases $ 1,453,151 $ 1,571,815 Lease liabilities arising from obtaining right of use assets $ 1,696,883 $ 1,427,486 Future Adoption of New Accounting Standards From time to time, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) or other standard setting bodies issue new accounting pronouncements. Updates to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification are communicated through issuance of an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”). The Company has reviewed the new guidance and has determined that it will either not apply to TJX or is not expected to be material to its Consolidated Financial Statements upon adoption and therefore, the guidance is not disclosed.

Capital Stock and Earnings Per Share	Capital Stock and Earnings Per Share Capital Stock TJX repurchased and retired 7.7 million shares of its common stock at a cost of approximately $0.5 billion during the quarter ended October 29, 2022, on a “trade date” basis. During the nine months ended October 29, 2022, TJX repurchased and retired 29.1 million shares of its common stock at a cost of approximately $1.8 billion, on a “trade date” basis. TJX reflects stock repurchases in its consolidated financial statements on a “settlement date” or cash basis. TJX had cash expenditures under repurchase programs of $1.8 billion for the nine months ended October 29, 2022 and $1.1 billion for the nine months ended October 30, 2021. These expenditures were funded by cash generated from current and prior period operations. In February 2022, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had approved a new stock repurchase program that authorizes the repurchase of up to an additional $3.0 billion of TJX common stock from time to time. Under this program TJX had approximately $2.0 billion available for repurchase as of October 29, 2022. All shares repurchased under the stock repurchase programs have been retired. Earnings Per Share The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share: Thirteen Weeks Ended Thirty-Nine Weeks Ended Amounts in thousands, except per share amounts October 29, October 30, October 29, October 30, Basic earnings per share: Net income $ 1,062,806 $ 1,023,000 $ 2,459,619 $ 2,342,611 Weighted average common shares outstanding for basic earnings per share calculation 1,160,763 1,200,661 1,168,608 1,203,718 Basic earnings per share $ 0.92 $ 0.85 $ 2.10 $ 1.95 Diluted earnings per share: Net income $ 1,062,806 $ 1,023,000 $ 2,459,619 $ 2,342,611 Weighted average common shares outstanding for basic earnings per share calculation 1,160,763 1,200,661 1,168,608 1,203,718 Assumed exercise / vesting of stock options and awards 11,504 15,029 11,284 15,520 Weighted average common shares outstanding for diluted earnings per share calculation 1,172,267 1,215,690 1,179,892 1,219,238 Diluted earnings per share $ 0.91 $ 0.84 $ 2.08 $ 1.92 Cash dividends declared per share $ 0.295 $ 0.26 $ 0.885 $ 0.78 The weighted average common shares for the diluted earnings per share calculation excludes the impact of outstanding stock options if the assumed proceeds per share of the option is in excess of the average price of TJX’s common stock for the related fiscal period. Such options are excluded because they would have an antidilutive effect. There were 11.2 million such options excluded for the thirteen weeks and thirty-nine weeks ended October 29, 2022. There were 5.3 million such options excluded for the thirteen weeks and thirty-nine weeks ended October 30, 2021.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Financial Instruments	Financial Instruments As a result of its operating and financing activities, TJX is exposed to market risks from changes in interest and foreign currency exchange rates and fuel costs. These market risks may adversely affect TJX’s operating results and financial position. TJX seeks to minimize risk from changes in interest and foreign currency exchange rates and fuel costs through the use of derivative financial instruments when and to the extent deemed appropriate. TJX does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes and does not use any leveraged derivative financial instruments. TJX recognizes all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet and measures those instruments at fair value. The fair values of the derivatives are classified as assets or liabilities, current or non-current, based upon valuation results and settlement dates of the individual contracts. Changes to the fair value of derivative contracts that do not qualify for hedge accounting are reported in earnings in the period of the change. For derivatives that qualify for hedge accounting, changes in the fair value of the derivatives are either recorded in shareholders’ equity as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive loss or are recognized currently in earnings, along with an offsetting adjustment against the basis of the item being hedged. Diesel Fuel Contracts TJX hedges portions of its estimated notional diesel fuel requirements based on the diesel fuel expected to be consumed by independent freight carriers transporting TJX’s inventory. Independent freight carriers transporting TJX’s inventory charge TJX a mileage surcharge based on the price of diesel fuel. The hedge agreements are designed to mitigate the volatility of diesel fuel pricing, and the resulting per mile surcharges payable by TJX, by setting a fixed price per gallon for the period being hedged. During fiscal 2022, TJX entered into agreements to hedge a portion of its estimated notional diesel fuel requirements for fiscal 2023, and during the first nine months of fiscal 2023, TJX entered into agreements to hedge a portion of its estimated notional diesel fuel requirements for the first nine months of fiscal 2024. The hedge agreements outstanding at October 29, 2022 relate to approximately 50% of TJX’s estimated notional diesel fuel requirements for the remainder of fiscal 2023 and the first nine months of fiscal 2024. These diesel fuel hedge agreements will settle throughout fiscal 2023 and throughout the first ten months of fiscal 2024. TJX elected not to apply hedge accounting to these contracts. Foreign Currency Contracts TJX enters into forward foreign currency exchange contracts to obtain economic hedges on portions of merchandise purchases made and anticipated to be made by the Company’s operations in currencies other than their respective functional currencies. The contracts outstanding at October 29, 2022 cover merchandise purchases the Company is committed to over the next several months. Additionally, TJX’s operations in Europe are subject to foreign currency exposure as a result of their buying function being centralized in the U.K. Merchandise is purchased centrally in the U.K. and then shipped and billed to the retail entities in other countries. This intercompany billing to TJX’s European businesses’ Euro denominated operations creates exposure to the central buying entity for changes in the exchange rate between the Euro and British Pound. A portion of the inflows of Euros to the central buying entity provides a natural hedge for merchandise purchased from third-party vendors that is denominated in Euros. TJX calculates any excess Euro exposure each month and enters into forward contracts of approximately 30 days' duration to mitigate this exposure. TJX also enters into derivative contracts, generally designated as fair value hedges, to hedge intercompany debt. The changes in fair value of these contracts are recorded in Selling, general and administrative expenses and are offset by marking the underlying item to fair value in the same period. Upon settlement, the realized gains and losses on these contracts are offset by the realized gains and losses of the underlying item in Selling, general and administrative expenses.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date or “exit price”. The inputs used to measure fair value are generally classified into the following hierarchy: Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities Level 2: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, or unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability The following table sets forth TJX’s financial assets and liabilities that are accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis: In thousands October 29, January 29, October 30, Level 1 Assets: Executive Savings Plan investments $ 342,621 $ 387,666 $ 405,290 Level 2 Assets: Foreign currency exchange contracts $ 109,259 $ 21,443 $ 19,893 Diesel fuel contracts 18,365 23,649 22,095 Liabilities: Foreign currency exchange contracts $ 26,944 $ 3,292 $ 12,359 Investments designed to meet obligations under the Executive Savings Plan are invested in registered investment companies traded in active markets and are recorded at unadjusted quoted prices. Foreign currency exchange contracts and diesel fuel contracts are valued using broker quotations, which include observable market information. TJX does not make adjustments to quotes or prices obtained from brokers or pricing services but does assess the credit risk of counterparties and will adjust final valuations when appropriate. Where independent pricing services provide fair values, TJX obtains an understanding of the methods used in pricing. As such, these instruments are classified within Level 2. The fair value of TJX’s general corporate debt was estimated by obtaining market quotes given the trading levels of other bonds of the same general issuer type and market perceived credit quality. These inputs are considered to be Level 2. The fair value of long-term debt as of October 29, 2022 was $2.5 billion compared to a carrying value of $2.9 billion primarily due to the recent increase in interest rates. The fair value of the current portion of long-term debt as of October 29, 2022 was $0.5 billion compared to a carrying value of $0.5 billion. The fair value of long-term debt as of January 29, 2022 was $3.5 billion compared to a carrying value of $3.4 billion. The fair value of long-term debt as of October 30, 2021 was $3.6 billion compared to a carrying value of $3.4 billion. These estimates do not necessarily reflect provisions or restrictions in the various debt agreements that might affect TJX’s ability to settle these obligations. For additional information on long-term debt, see Note I—Long-Term Debt and Credit Lines. TJX’s cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates fair value due to the short maturities of these instruments. Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, whereas the majority of assets and liabilities are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis, but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances, such as when there is evidence of an impairment. For the periods ended October 29, 2022, January 29, 2022 and October 30, 2021, the Company did not record any material impairments to long-lived assets. During the first quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company announced its intention to divest from its position in its minority investment in Familia and re-characterized this investment as held-for-sale valued as a Level 3 position. Given the lack of an active market or observable inputs, the Company derived an exit price which indicated that this investment had no market value. The Company recorded a $218 million charge in the first quarter of fiscal 2023, which represents the entirety of its investment. See Note A—Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for additional information.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment Information	Segment Information TJX operates four main business segments. The Marmaxx segment (T.J. Maxx, Marshalls, tjmaxx.com and marshalls.com) and the HomeGoods segment (HomeGoods, Homesense, and homegoods.com) both operate in the United States, the TJX Canada segment operates Winners, HomeSense and Marshalls in Canada, and the TJX International segment operates T.K. Maxx, Homesense and tkmaxx.com in Europe and T.K. Maxx in Australia. In addition to the Company’s four main business segments, Sierra operates retail stores and sierra.com in the U.S. The results of Sierra are included in the Marmaxx segment. All of TJX’s stores, with the exception of HomeGoods and HomeSense/Homesense, sell family apparel and home fashions. HomeGoods and HomeSense/Homesense offer home fashions. TJX evaluates the performance of its segments based on “segment profit or loss,” which it defines as pre-tax income or loss before general corporate expense, interest expense, net and certain separately disclosed unusual or infrequent items. “Segment profit or loss,” as defined by TJX, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other entities. This measure of performance should not be considered an alternative to net income or cash flows from operating activities as an indicator of TJX’s performance or as a measure of liquidity.

The Company does not anticipate any required funding in fiscal 2023 for the funded plan. The Company anticipates making contributions of $4 million to provide current benefits coming due under the unfunded plan in fiscal 2023. The amounts included in Amortization of net actuarial loss and prior service cost in the table above have been reclassified in their entirety from Accumulated other comprehensive loss to the Consolidated Statements of Income, net of related tax effects, for the periods presented.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes The e ffective income tax rate was 21.8% for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 and 25.8% for the third quarter of fiscal 2022. The effective income tax rate was 25.4% for the first nine months of fiscal 2023 and 25.7% for the first nine months of fiscal 2022. The decrease in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2023 effective income tax rate is primarily due to the $54 million benefit from the completion of the divestiture of our minority investment in Familia, the change of jurisdictional mix of profits and losses and the resolution of various tax matters, partially offset by a reduction of excess tax benefits from share-based compensation. TJX had net unrecognized tax benefits of $262 million as of October 29, 2022, $288 million as of January 29, 2022 and $287 million as of October 30, 2021. TJX is subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income tax in multiple state, local and foreign jurisdictions. In the U.S. and India, fiscal years through 2010 are no longer subject to examination. In all other jurisdictions, fiscal years through 2011 are no longer subject to examination. TJX’s accounting policy is to classify interest and penalties related to income tax matters as part of income tax expense. The accrued amounts for interest and penalties on the Consolidated Balance Sheets was $37 million as of October 29, 2022, $43 million as of January 29, 2022 and $43 million as of October 30, 2021. Based on the final resolution of tax examinations, judicial or administrative proceedings, changes in facts or law, expirations of statutes of limitations in specific jurisdictions or other resolutions of, or changes in, tax positions, it is reasonably possible that unrecognized tax benefits for certain tax positions taken on previously filed tax returns may change materially from those represented on the consolidated financial statements as of October 29, 2022. During the next 12 months, it is reasonably possible that tax audit resolutions may reduce unrecognized tax benefits by up to $41 million, which would reduce the provision for taxes on earnings.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. These Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, reflect all normal recurring adjustments, accruals and deferrals among periods required to match costs properly with the related revenue or activity, considered necessary by The TJX Companies, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, “TJX”) for a fair statement of its Consolidated Financial Statements for the periods reported, all in conformity with GAAP consistently applied. Investments for which the Company exercises significant influence but does not have control are accounted for under the equity method. The Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements, including the related notes, contained in TJX’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 29, 2022 (“fiscal 2022”). These interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for the full fiscal year. TJX’s business, in common with the businesses of retailers generally, is subject to seasonal influences, with higher levels of sales and income generally realized in the second half of the year.
Fiscal Year	Fiscal Year TJX’s fiscal year ends on the Saturday nearest to the last day of January of each year. The current fiscal year ends January 28, 2023 (“fiscal 2023”) and is a 52-week fiscal year. Fiscal 2022 was also a 52-week fiscal year. Fiscal 2024 will be a 53-week fiscal year and will end February 3, 2024.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that 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. TJX considers its accounting policies relating to inventory valuation, reserves for uncertain tax positions and loss contingencies to be the most significant accounting policies that involve management estimates and judgments. Actual amounts could differ from these estimates, and such differences could be material.
Equity Investment	Equity InvestmentIn fiscal 2020, the Company acquired a minority ownership stake in privately held Familia, an off-price retailer of apparel and home fashions domiciled in Luxembourg that operates stores throughout Russia. During the quarter ended April 30, 2022, the Company announced that it had committed to divesting its minority investment and as a result, the Company performed an impairment analysis of this investment. Based on this analysis the Company concluded that there was an other-than-temporary impairment of this investment and recorded an impairment charge of $218 million representing the entirety of the Company’s investment. The Company completed the divestiture of this investment during the quarter ended October 29, 2022, resulting in a $54 million tax benefit. See Note F—Fair Value Measurements for additional information.
Future Adoption of New Accounting Standards	Future Adoption of New Accounting Standards From time to time, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) or other standard setting bodies issue new accounting pronouncements. Updates to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification are communicated through issuance of an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”). The Company has reviewed the new guidance and has determined that it will either not apply to TJX or is not expected to be material to its Consolidated Financial Statements upon adoption and therefore, the guidance is not disclosed.
