Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of TD Ameritrade Holding Corporation (the "Parent") and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company"). Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. These financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which are all of a normal recurring nature, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's annual report filed on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2018 . Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements ASU 2016-18 — On October 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-18, Restricted Cash , using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. This ASU amends the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 230, Statement of Cash Flows , and is intended to reduce the diversity in the classification and presentation of changes in restricted cash on the statement of cash flows. The amendments within this ASU require that the reconciliation of the beginning-of-period and end-of-period cash and cash equivalents amounts shown on the statement of cash flows include restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents. If restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents are presented separately from cash and cash equivalents on the balance sheet, an entity is required to reconcile the amounts presented on the statement of cash flows to the amounts on the balance sheet. An entity is also required to disclose information regarding the nature of the restrictions. Upon the adoption of this standard, the Company recorded a decrease of $32 million in cash flows from operating activities for the three months ended December 31, 2017 to reflect the reclassification of changes in restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents amounts from the operating section to the beginning-of-period and end-of-period cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents amounts within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. See Note 2 for additional information regarding restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents. ASU 2016-16 — On October 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2016-16, Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory. This ASU amends the guidance in ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes . The amendments in this ASU are intended to improve the accounting for the income tax consequences of intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory by requiring an entity to recognize the income tax consequences when a transfer occurs, instead of when the asset is sold to a third party. The adoption of ASU 2016-16 did not have an impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements. ASU 2014-09 — On October 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers , using a modified retrospective approach, which requires the standard be applied only to the most current period presented, with the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognized at the date of initial application. The new revenue recognition standard is intended to clarify the principles of recognizing revenue from contracts with customers and to improve financial reporting by creating common revenue recognition guidance for U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. This ASU supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance. Entities are required to apply the following steps when recognizing revenue under ASU 2014-09: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. This ASU also requires additional disclosures related to the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows, as the satisfaction of performance obligations under the new guidance is materially consistent with the Company's previous revenue recognition policies. However, the adoption of this standard did impact the Company by: (1) requiring the capitalization of sales commissions paid to employees for obtaining new contracts with clients and (2) accounting for revenues from certain contracts on a gross basis when the Company is acting as a principal, as compared to the prior guidance, which allowed for these contracts to be accounted for on a net basis. For additional information on the Company's adoption of the amended guidance, see Note 15 , Revenue Recognition. The new guidance does not apply to revenue associated with financial instruments, such as interest revenue, which is accounted for under other GAAP. Accordingly, net interest revenue was not impacted. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements ASU 2017-12 — In August 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2017-12, Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities , which will amend the guidance in ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The objective of this ASU is to improve the financial reporting of hedging relationships to better portray the economic results of an entity's risk management activities in its financial statements through changes to both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and to the presentation of hedge results. In addition, the amendments in this ASU make certain targeted improvements to simplify the application of the hedge accounting guidance in current GAAP. All transition requirements and elections under ASU 2017-12 should be applied to hedging relationships existing on the date of adoption, with the effect of the adoption reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The amended presentation and disclosure guidance is required only prospectively. Subsequent to issuing ASU 2017-12, the FASB issued 2018-16, Inclusion of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) Overnight Index Swap (OIS) Rate as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes , for the purpose of introducing an additional benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes. SOFR is a volume-weighted median interest rate that is calculated daily based on overnight transactions from the prior day's trading activity in specified segments of the U.S. Treasury repo market. The subsequently issued ASU has the same effective date and transition requirements as ASU 2017-12. ASU 2017-12 will be effective for the Company's fiscal year beginning October 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact this ASU will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements. ASU 2016-13 — In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments . The main objective of ASU 2016-13 is to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about an entity's expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit at each reporting date. To achieve this objective, the amendments in this update replace the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to develop credit loss estimates. Subsequent to issuing ASU 2016-13, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses , for the purpose of clarifying certain aspects of ASU 2016-13. ASU 2018-19 has the same effective date and transition requirements as ASU 2016-13. ASU 2016-13 will be effective for the Company's fiscal year beginning October 1, 2020, using a modified retrospective approach. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact this ASU will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements. ASU 2016-02 — In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases . This ASU will supersede the guidance in ASC Topic 840, Leases . Under ASU 2016-02, for lease arrangements exceeding a 12-month term, a lessee will be required to recognize in the balance sheet a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. ASU 2016-02 will retain a distinction between finance and operating leases; however, the principal difference from the previous guidance is that lease assets and liabilities arising from operating leases will be recognized in the balance sheet. The recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee will not significantly change from current GAAP. The accounting applied by a lessor will be largely unchanged from that applied under current GAAP. Subsequent to issuing ASU 2016-02, the FASB has issued additional standards for the purpose of clarifying certain aspects of ASU 2016-02 and providing an additional (optional) transition method with which to adopt the new leases standard. The subsequently issued ASUs have the same effective date and transition requirements as ASU 2016-02. Under ASU 2016-02, an entity may apply the amendments by using one of the following two methods: (1) recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach or (2) apply the standard at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. ASU 2016-02 will be effective for the Company's fiscal year beginning October 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company has not selected a transition method and is currently assessing the impact this ASU will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements, but does not expect the standard to have a material impact on its net income. Upon adoption of ASU 2016-02, the Company expects to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for its operating leases, with initial measurement as defined by the ASU, in its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. |

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes The Company's effective income tax rate for the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 was 22.4% and 2.0% , respectively. The provision for income taxes for the three months ended December 31, 2018 included $18 million of favorable adjustments related to state income tax matters. This item had a favorable impact on the Company's earnings for the three months ended December 31, 2018 of approximately $0.03 per share. The provision for income taxes for the three months ended December 31, 2017 included an estimated net favorable adjustment of $68 million related to the remeasurement of the Company's deferred income tax balances as it pertained to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Act"), a $3 million income tax benefit resulting from the change in accounting for income taxes related to equity-based compensation under ASU 2016-09, $10 million of favorable resolutions of state income tax matters and a $6 million favorable benefit resulting from accelerating certain deductions, including acquisition-related exit costs, to leverage higher 2017 pre-enactment tax rates. The effective income tax rate was also impacted by a $9 million unfavorable remeasurement of uncertain tax positions related to certain federal incentives. The Act was enacted on December 22, 2017, reducing the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% . These items had a net favorable impact on the Company's earnings for the three months ended December 31, 2017 of approximately $0.14 per share. |

See " Fair Value Hedging " below. Fiscal year maturities on long-term debt outstanding at December 31, 2018 are as follows (dollars in millions): 2019 Remaining $ — 2020 500 2021 — 2022 1,350 2023 — Thereafter 1,700 Total $ 3,550 Senior Notes — As of December 31, 2018, the Company had $3.55 billion aggregate principal amount of unsecured Senior Notes (together, the "Senior Notes"). On October 30, 2018, the Company sold, through a public offering, $600 million aggregate principal amount of unsecured variable-rate senior notes due November 1, 2021 (the "2021 Notes") and $400 million aggregate principal amount of unsecured 3.750% senior notes due April 1, 2024 (the "2024 Notes"). The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the issuance of the 2021 Notes and 2024 Notes for general corporate purposes, including to augment liquidity. The 2021 Notes will bear interest at a variable rate, reset quarterly, equal to three-month LIBOR plus 0.430% per annum, payable quarterly on February 1, May 1, August 1 and November 1 of each year, beginning on February 1, 2019. Interest on the fixed-rate 2024 Notes will be payable in arrears semi-annually on April 1 and October 1 of each year, beginning on April 1, 2019. The Company's obligations in respect to the 2021 Notes and the 2024 Notes are not guaranteed by any of its subsidiaries. The Company may redeem the 2024 Notes, in whole or in part, at any time prior to March 2, 2024 at a redemption price equal to the greater of (a) 100% of the principal amount of the notes being redeemed, and (b) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the notes being redeemed, discounted to the date of redemption on a semi-annual basis at the comparable U.S. Treasury rate, plus 15 basis points, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption. The Company may redeem the 2021 Notes and 2024 Notes, in whole or in part, at any time on or after October 2, 2021 and March 2, 2024, respectively, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes being redeemed, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption. Lines of Credit — TD Ameritrade Clearing, Inc. ("TDAC"), a clearing broker-dealer subsidiary of the Company, utilizes secured uncommitted lines of credit for short-term liquidity. Under these secured uncommitted lines, TDAC borrows on a demand basis from two unaffiliated banks and pledges client margin securities as collateral. Advances under the secured uncommitted lines are dependent on having acceptable collateral as determined by each secured uncommitted credit agreement. At December 31, 2018 , the terms of the secured uncommitted credit agreements do not specify borrowing limits. The availability of TDAC's secured uncommitted lines is subject to approval by the individual banks each time an advance is requested and may be denied. There were no borrowings outstanding under the secured uncommitted lines of credit as of December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2018 . Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase (repurchase agreements) — Under repurchase agreements, the Company receives cash from the counterparty and provides U.S. government debt securities as collateral. The Company's repurchase agreements generally mature between 30 and 90 days following the transaction date and are accounted for as secured borrowings. There were no borrowings outstanding under repurchase agreements as of December 31, 2018 . The remaining contractual maturities of the repurchase agreements with outstanding balances as of September 30, 2018 were less than 30 days. The weighted average interest rate on the balances outstanding as of September 30, 2018 was 2.35% . See "General Contingencies" in Note 8 for a discussion of the potential risks associated with repurchase agreements and how the Company mitigates those risks. Fair Value Hedging — The Company is exposed to changes in the fair value of its fixed-rate Senior Notes resulting from interest rate fluctuations. To hedge a vast majority of this exposure, the Company has entered into fixed-for-variable interest rate swaps on each of the 2019 Notes, 2022 Notes, 2025 Notes and 2027 Notes (together, the "Hedged Senior Notes"). Each fixed-for-variable interest rate swap has a notional amount and a maturity date matching the aggregate principal amount and maturity date, respectively, for each of the respective Hedged Senior Notes. The interest rate swaps effectively change the fixed-rate interest on the Hedged Senior Notes to variable-rate interest. Under the terms of the interest rate swap agreements, the Company receives semi-annual fixed-rate interest payments based on the same rates applicable to the Hedged Senior Notes, and makes quarterly variable-rate interest payments based on three-month LIBOR plus (a) 2.3745% for the swap on the 2019 Notes, (b) 0.9486% for the swap on the 2022 Notes, (c) 1.1022% for the swap on the 2025 Notes and (d) 1.0340% for the swap on the 2027 Notes. As of December 31, 2018 , the weighted average interest rate on the aggregate principal balance of the Senior Notes was 3.27% . The interest rate swaps are accounted for as fair value hedges and qualify for the shortcut method of accounting. Changes in the payment of interest resulting from the interest rate swaps are recorded in interest on borrowings on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Changes in fair value of the interest rate swaps are completely offset by changes in fair value of the related notes, resulting in no effect on net income. The following table summarizes gains and losses resulting from changes in the fair value of interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges and the hedged fixed-rate debt for the periods indicated (dollars in millions): Three Months Ended December 31, 2018 2017 Gain (loss) on fair value of interest rate swaps $ 52 $ (24 ) Gain (loss) on fair value of hedged fixed-rate debt (52 ) 24 Net gain (loss) recorded in interest on borrowings $ — $ — Balance Sheet Impact of Hedging Instruments — The following table summarizes the classification and the fair value of outstanding derivatives designated as hedging instruments on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets (dollars in millions): December 31, September 30, Pay-variable interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges: Other assets $ 2 $ 2 Accounts payable and other liabilities $ (44 ) $ (96 ) The interest rate swaps are subject to counterparty credit risk. Credit risk is managed by limiting activity to approved counterparties that meet a minimum credit rating threshold, by entering into credit support agreements, or by utilizing approved central clearing counterparties registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC"). The interest rate swaps require daily collateral coverage, in the form of cash or U.S. Treasury securities, for the aggregate fair value of the interest rate swaps (including accrued interest). As of December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2018 , the pay-variable interest rate swap counterparties had pledged $2 million and $10 million of collateral, respectively, to the Company in the form of cash. A liability for collateral pledged to the Company in the form of cash is recorded in accounts payable and other liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2018 , the Company had pledged $50 million and $82 million of collateral, respectively, to the pay-variable interest rate swap counterparties in the form of cash. An asset for collateral pledged to the swap counterparties in the form of cash is recorded in other receivables on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Intercompany Credit Agreements — The Parent has entered into credit agreements with each of its primary broker-dealer and FCM/FDM subsidiaries, under which the Parent may make loans of cash or securities under committed and/or uncommitted lines of credit. Key information about the committed and/or uncommitted lines of credit is summarized in the following table (dollars in millions): Borrower Subsidiary Committed Facility Uncommitted Facility (1) Termination Date TD Ameritrade Clearing, Inc. $1,200 $300 March 1, 2022 TD Ameritrade, Inc. N/A $300 March 1, 2022 TD Ameritrade Futures & Forex LLC $45 N/A August 11, 2021 (1) The Parent is permitted, but under no obligation, to make loans under uncommitted facilities. There were no borrowings outstanding under any of the intercompany credit agreements as of December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2018 . |

Regulatory Capital Requirements [Abstract] | |
Capital Requirements | Capital Requirements The Company's broker-dealer subsidiaries are subject to the SEC Uniform Net Capital Rule (Rule 15c3-1 under the Exchange Act), administered by the SEC and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"), which requires the maintenance of minimum net capital, as defined. Net capital and the related net capital requirement may fluctuate on a daily basis. TDAC, the Company's clearing broker-dealer subsidiary, and TD Ameritrade, Inc., an introducing broker-dealer subsidiary of the Company, compute net capital under the alternative method as permitted by Rule 15c3-1. TDAC is required to maintain minimum net capital of the greater of $1.5 million , which is based on the type of business conducted by the broker-dealer, or 2% of aggregate debit balances arising from client transactions. TD Ameritrade, Inc. is required to maintain minimum net capital of the greater of $250,000 or 2% of aggregate debit balances arising from client transactions. In addition, under the alternative method, a broker-dealer may not repay any subordinated borrowings, pay cash dividends or make any unsecured advances or loans to its parent company or employees if such payment would result in net capital of less than (a) 5% of aggregate debit balances or (b) 120% of its minimum dollar requirement. TD Ameritrade Futures & Forex LLC ("TDAFF"), the Company's FCM and FDM subsidiary registered with the CFTC, is subject to CFTC Regulations 1.17 and 5.7 under the Commodity Exchange Act, administered by the CFTC and the National Futures Association ("NFA"). As an FCM, TDAFF is required to maintain minimum adjusted net capital under CFTC Regulation 1.17 of the greater of (a) $1.0 million or (b) its futures risk-based capital requirement, equal to 8% of the total risk margin requirement for all futures positions carried by the FCM in client and nonclient accounts. As an FDM, TDAFF is also subject to the net capital requirements under CFTC Regulation 5.7, which requires TDAFF to maintain minimum adjusted net capital of the greater of (a) any amount required under CFTC Regulation 1.17 as described above or (b) $20.0 million plus 5% of all foreign exchange liabilities owed to forex clients in excess of $10.0 million .

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies Legal and Regulatory Matters Order Routing Matters — In 2014, five putative class action complaints were filed regarding TD Ameritrade, Inc.'s routing of client orders and one putative class action was filed regarding Scottrade, Inc.'s routing of client orders. Five of the six cases were dismissed and the United States Court of Appeals, 8th Circuit, affirmed the dismissals in those cases that were appealed. The one remaining case is Roderick Ford (replacing Gerald Klein ) v. TD Ameritrade Holding Corporation, et al., Case No. 8:14CV396 (U.S. District Court, District of Nebraska). Plaintiff alleges that, when routing client orders to various market centers, defendants did not seek best execution, and instead routed clients' orders to market venues that paid TD Ameritrade, Inc. the most money for order flow. Plaintiff alleges that defendants made misrepresentations and omissions regarding the Company's order routing practices. The complaint asserts claims of violations of Section 10(b) and 20 of the Exchange Act and SEC Rule 10b-5. The complaint seeks damages, injunctive relief, and other relief. Plaintiff filed a motion for class certification, which defendants opposed. On July 12, 2018, the Magistrate Judge issued findings and a recommendation that plaintiff's motion for class certification be denied. Plaintiff filed objections to the Magistrate Judge's findings and recommendation, which defendants opposed. On September 14, 2018, the District Judge sustained plaintiff's objections, rejected the Magistrate Judge's recommendation and granted plaintiff's motion for class certification. On September 28, 2018, defendants filed a petition requesting that the U.S. Court of Appeals, 8th Circuit, grant an immediate appeal of the District Court's class certification decision. The Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce filed amicus curiae briefs in support of the petition together with motions for permission to file the briefs. On October 9, 2018, plaintiff filed an opposition to the petition. On December 18, 2018, the U.S. Court of Appeals, 8th Circuit, granted defendants' petition and set a briefing schedule. The Company intends to vigorously defend against this lawsuit and is unable to predict the outcome or the timing of the ultimate resolution of the lawsuit, or the potential loss, if any, that may result. Certain regulatory authorities are conducting examinations and investigations regarding the routing of client orders. TD Ameritrade, Inc., TDAC and Scottrade, Inc. have received requests for documents and information from the regulatory authorities. TD Ameritrade, Inc., TDAC and Scottrade, Inc. are cooperating with the requests. Lawsuit regarding Scottrade Acquisition — On April 6, 2017, a stockholder of the Company filed a stockholder derivative complaint regarding the acquisition of Scottrade by the Company and the acquisition of Scottrade Bank by TD. The suit filed in the Delaware Chancery Court is captioned Vero Beach Police Officers' Retirement Fund, derivatively on behalf of nominal defendant TD Ameritrade Holding Corp. v. Larry Bettino et al ., C.A. No. 2017-0264-JRS. On December 18, 2017, the plaintiff filed an amended complaint. The suit named as defendants TD and the members of the Company's board of directors. It also named the Company as a nominal defendant. The complaint alleged that the Company's acquisition of Scottrade and TD's acquisition of Scottrade Bank were unfair from the perspective of the Company because TD Bank, N.A. acquired Scottrade Bank for an allegedly low price, which in turn caused the Company to pay an allegedly high price to acquire Scottrade. The complaint claimed that the Company's directors and TD, as the Company's alleged controlling stockholder, breached their fiduciary duties to the Company and its stockholders, and that TD aided and abetted the Company directors' breach of fiduciary duty and was unjustly enriched. The complaint sought a declaration that demand on the Company's board was excused as futile and sought corporate governance reforms, damages, interest and fees. On August 9, 2018, the parties submitted to the court for its approval a stipulation of settlement of this action. Under the settlement, TD and an insurer on behalf of the Company's directors agreed to make a settlement payment; plaintiff could apply for an award of attorneys' fees and expenses in an amount not to exceed 20% of the settlement payment; the balance of the settlement payment was to be paid to the Company; and the lawsuit would be dismissed and the claims released. Following a December 3, 2018 hearing, the court issued an order approving the settlement and the award of attorneys' fees and expenses and dismissed the case with prejudice. As a result of the settlement, the Company recorded $14 million in other non-operating income on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the three months ended December 31, 2018. The Company received the $14 million settlement payment in January 2019. Aequitas Securities Litigation — An amended putative class action complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon in Lawrence Ciuffitelli et al. v. Deloitte & Touche LLP, EisnerAmper LLP, Sidley Austin LLP, Tonkon Torp LLP, TD Ameritrade, Inc., and Integrity Bank & Trust, Case No. 3:16CV580, on May 19, 2016. A second amended putative class action complaint was filed on September 8, 2017, in which Duff & Phelps was added as a defendant. The putative class includes all persons who purchased securities of Aequitas Commercial Finance, LLC and its affiliates on or after June 9, 2010. Other groups of plaintiffs have filed five non-class action lawsuits in Oregon Circuit Court, Multnomah County, against these and other defendants: Walter Wurster, et al. v. Deloitte & Touche et al. , Case No. 16CV25920 (filed Aug. 11, 2016), Kenneth Pommier, et al. v. Deloitte & Touche et al., Case No. 16CV36439 (filed Nov. 3, 2016), Charles Ramsdell, et al. v. Deloitte & Touche et al., Case No. 16CV40659 (filed Dec. 2, 2016), Charles Layton, et al. v. Deloitte & Touche et al., Case No. 17CV42915 (filed October 2, 2017) and John Cavanagh, et al. v. Deloitte & Touche et al. , Case No. 18CV09052 (filed March 7, 2018). FINRA arbitrations have also been filed against TD Ameritrade, Inc. The claims in these actions include allegations that the sales of Aequitas securities were unlawful, the defendants participated and materially aided in such sales in violation of the Oregon securities laws, and material misstatements and omissions were made. While the factual allegations differ in various respects among the cases, plaintiffs' allegations include assertions that: TD Ameritrade customers purchased more than $140 million of Aequitas securities; TD Ameritrade served as custodian for Aequitas securities; recommended and referred investors to financial advisors as part of its advisor referral program for the purpose of purchasing Aequitas securities; participated in marketing the securities; recommended the securities; provided assurances to investors about the safety of the securities; and developed a market for the securities. In the Ciuffitelli putative class action, plaintiffs allege that more than 1,500 investors were owed more than $600 million on the Aequitas securities they purchased. On August 1, 2018, the Magistrate Judge in that case issued findings and a recommendation that defendants' motions to dismiss the pending complaint be denied with limited exceptions not applicable to the Company. TD Ameritrade and other defendants filed objections to the Magistrate Judge's findings and recommendation, which plaintiffs opposed. On September 24, 2018, the District Judge issued an opinion and order adopting the Magistrate Judge's findings and recommendation. Discovery is ongoing. In the five non-class action lawsuits, approximately 200 named plaintiffs collectively allege a total of approximately $125 million in losses plus other damages. In the Wurster and Pommier cases, the Court, on TD Ameritrade's motion, dismissed the claims by those plaintiffs who were TD Ameritrade customers, in favor of arbitration. Discovery is ongoing. The Court in the Wurster and Pommier cases denied TD Ameritrade's motion to dismiss the claims by the plaintiffs who were not TD Ameritrade customers. Plaintiffs in the Ramsdell case have filed a second amended complaint in which TD Ameritrade is not named as a defendant. On September 24, 2018, plaintiffs in the Cavanagh case dismissed their claims against TD Ameritrade. On July 17, 2018, plaintiffs in the Ciuffitelli case filed a motion for preliminary approval of an $18.5 million settlement with the defendant Tonkon Torp law firm of the claims against it in all the pending cases. On September 24, 2018, defendants filed a response requesting the Court to defer considering the plaintiffs' motion or to deny it as presented. The Company intends to vigorously defend against this litigation. The Company is unable to predict the outcome or the timing of the ultimate resolution of this litigation, or the potential losses, if any, that may result. Other Legal and Regulatory Matters — The Company is subject to a number of other lawsuits, arbitrations, claims and other legal proceedings in connection with its business. Some of these legal actions include claims for substantial or unspecified compensatory and/or punitive damages. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Company discusses matters with its regulators raised during regulatory examinations or otherwise subject to their inquiry. These matters could result in censures, fines, penalties or other sanctions. ASC 450, Loss Contingencies, governs the recognition and disclosure of loss contingencies, including potential losses from legal and regulatory matters. ASC 450 categorizes loss contingencies using three terms based on the likelihood of occurrence of events that result in a loss: "probable" means that "the future event or events are likely to occur;" "remote" means that "the chance of the future event or events occurring is slight;" and "reasonably possible" means that "the chance of the future event or events occurring is more than remote but less than likely." Under ASC 450, the Company accrues for losses that are considered both probable and reasonably estimable. The Company may incur losses in addition to the amounts accrued where the losses are greater than estimated by management, or for matters for which an unfavorable outcome is considered reasonably possible, but not probable. The Company estimates that the aggregate range of reasonably possible losses in excess of amounts accrued is from $0 to $180 million as of December 31, 2018 . This estimated aggregate range of reasonably possible losses is based upon currently available information for those legal and regulatory matters in which the Company is involved, taking into account the Company's best estimate of reasonably possible losses for those matters as to which an estimate can be made. For certain matters, the Company does not believe an estimate can currently be made, as some matters are in preliminary stages and some matters have no specific amounts claimed. The Company's estimate involves significant judgment, given the varying stages of the proceedings and the inherent uncertainty of predicting outcomes. The estimated range will change from time to time as the underlying matters, stages of proceedings and available information change. Actual losses may vary significantly from the current estimated range. The Company believes, based on its current knowledge and after consultation with counsel, that the ultimate disposition of these legal and regulatory matters, individually or in the aggregate, is not likely to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or cash flows of the Company. However, in light of the uncertainties involved in such matters, the Company is unable to predict the timing or the ultimate resolution of these matters, or the potential losses, fines, penalties or equitable relief, if any, that may result, and it is possible that the ultimate resolution of one or more of these matters may be material to the Company's results of operations for a particular reporting period. Income Taxes The Company's federal and state income tax returns are subject to examination by taxing authorities. Because the application of tax laws and regulations to many types of transactions is subject to varying interpretations, amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements could be significantly changed at a later date upon final determinations by taxing authorities. General Contingencies In the ordinary course of business, there are various contingencies that are not reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements. These include the Company's broker-dealer and FCM/FDM subsidiaries' client activities involving the execution, settlement and financing of various client securities, options, futures and foreign exchange transactions. These activities may expose the Company to credit risk in the event the clients are unable to fulfill their contractual obligations. The Company extends margin credit and leverage to its clients. In margin transactions, the Company extends credit to the client, subject to various regulatory and internal margin requirements, collateralized by cash and securities in the client's account. In connection with these activities, the Company also routes client orders for execution and clears client transactions involving the sale of securities not yet purchased ("short sales"). Such margin-related transactions may expose the Company to credit risk in the event a client's assets are not sufficient to fully cover losses that the client may incur. Leverage involves securing a large potential future obligation with a lesser amount of collateral. The risks associated with margin credit and leverage increase during periods of rapid market movements, or in cases where leverage or collateral is concentrated and market movements occur. In the event the client fails to satisfy its obligations, the Company has the authority to liquidate certain positions in the client's account(s) at prevailing market prices in order to fulfill the client's obligations. However, during periods of rapid market movements, clients who utilize margin credit or leverage and who have collateralized their obligations with securities may find that the securities have a rapidly depreciating value and may not be sufficient to cover their obligations in the event of liquidation. The Company seeks to mitigate the risks associated with its client margin and leverage activities by requiring clients to maintain margin collateral in compliance with various regulatory and internal guidelines. The Company monitors required margin levels throughout each trading day and, pursuant to such guidelines, requires clients to deposit additional collateral, or to reduce positions, when necessary. The Company contracts with unaffiliated FCM, FDM and broker-dealer entities to clear and execute futures, options on futures and foreign exchange transactions for its clients. This can result in concentrations of credit risk with one or more of these counterparties. This risk is partially mitigated by the counterparties' obligation to comply with rules and regulations governing FCMs, FDMs and broker-dealers in the United States. These rules generally require maintenance of net capital and segregation of client funds and securities. In addition, the Company manages this risk by requiring credit approvals for counterparties and by utilizing account funding and sweep arrangement agreements that generally specify that all client cash in excess of futures funding requirements be transferred back to the clients' securities brokerage accounts at the Company on a daily basis. The Company loans securities temporarily to other broker-dealers in connection with its broker-dealer business. The Company receives cash as collateral for the securities loaned. Increases in securities prices may cause the market value of the securities loaned to exceed the amount of cash received as collateral. In the event the counterparty to these transactions does not return the loaned securities, the Company may be exposed to the risk of acquiring the securities at prevailing market prices in order to satisfy its client obligations. The Company mitigates this risk by requiring credit approvals for counterparties, by monitoring the market value of securities loaned on a daily basis and requiring additional cash as collateral when necessary, and by participating in a risk-sharing program offered through the Options Clearing Corporation ("OCC"). The Company borrows securities temporarily from other broker-dealers in connection with its broker-dealer business. The Company deposits cash as collateral for the securities borrowed. Decreases in securities prices may cause the market value of the securities borrowed to fall below the amount of cash deposited as collateral. In the event the counterparty to these transactions does not return the cash deposited, the Company may be exposed to the risk of selling the securities at prevailing market prices. The Company mitigates this risk by requiring credit approvals for counterparties, by monitoring the collateral values on a daily basis and requiring collateral to be returned by the counterparties when necessary, and by participating in a risk-sharing program offered through the OCC. The Company transacts in reverse repurchase agreements (securities purchased under agreements to resell) in connection with its broker-dealer business. The Company's policy is to take possession or control of securities with a market value in excess of the principal amount loaned, plus accrued interest, in order to collateralize resale agreements. The Company monitors the market value of the underlying securities that collateralize the related receivable on resale agreements on a daily basis and may require additional collateral when deemed appropriate. The Company utilizes securities sold under agreements to repurchase (repurchase agreements) to finance its short-term liquidity and capital needs. Under these agreements, the Company receives cash from the counterparties and provides U.S. Treasury securities as collateral, allowing the counterparties the right to sell or repledge the collateral. These agreements expose the Company to credit losses in the event the counterparties cannot meet their obligations. The Company mitigates this risk by requiring credit approvals for counterparties, by monitoring the market value of pledged securities owned on a daily basis and requiring the counterparties to return cash or excess collateral pledged when necessary. The Company has accepted collateral in connection with client margin loans and securities borrowed. Under applicable agreements, the Company is generally permitted to repledge securities held as collateral and use them to enter into securities lending arrangements. The following table summarizes the fair values of client margin securities and stock borrowings that were available to the Company to utilize as collateral on various borrowings or for other purposes, and the amount of that collateral loaned or repledged by the Company (dollars in billions): December 31, September 30, Client margin securities $ 26.9 $ 31.4 Stock borrowings 0.4 0.8 Total collateral available $ 27.3 $ 32.2 Collateral loaned $ 2.2 $ 2.9 Collateral repledged 5.6 6.3 Total collateral loaned or repledged $ 7.8 $ 9.2 The Company is subject to cash deposit and collateral requirements with clearinghouses based on its clients' trading activity. The following table summarizes cash deposited with and securities pledged to clearinghouses by the Company (dollars in millions): Assets Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet Classification December 31, September 30, Cash Receivable from brokers, dealers and clearing organizations $ 955 $ 545 U.S. government debt securities Securities owned, at fair value — 50 Total $ 955 $ 595 The Company manages its sweep program through off-balance sheet arrangements with TD and unaffiliated third-party depository financial institutions (together, the "Sweep Program Counterparties"). The sweep program is offered to eligible clients whereby the client's uninvested cash is swept into FDIC-insured (up to specified limits) money market deposit accounts at the Sweep Program Counterparties. The Company earns revenue on client cash at the Sweep Program Counterparties based on the return of floating-rate and fixed-rate notional investments. The Company designates amounts and maturity dates for the fixed-rate notional investments within the sweep program portfolios, subject to certain limitations. In the event the Company instructs the Sweep Program Counterparties to withdraw a fixed-rate notional investment prior to its maturity, the Company may be required to reimburse the Sweep Program Counterparties for any losses incurred as a result of the early withdrawal. In order to mitigate the risk of potential loss due to an early withdrawal of fixed-rate notional investments, the Company maintains a certain level of short-term floating-rate investments within the sweep program portfolios to meet client cash demands. See " Insured Deposit Account Agreement " in Note 13 for a description of the sweep arrangement between the Company and TD. Guarantees The Company is a member of and provides guarantees to securities clearinghouses and exchanges in connection with client trading activities. Under related agreements, the Company is generally required to guarantee the performance of other members. Under these agreements, if a member becomes unable to satisfy its obligations to the clearinghouse, other members would be required to meet shortfalls. The Company's liability under these arrangements is not quantifiable and could exceed the cash and securities it has posted to the clearinghouse as collateral. However, the likelihood that the Company would be required to make payments under these agreements is considered remote. Accordingly, no contingent liability is carried on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for these guarantees. The Company clears its clients' futures and options on futures transactions on an omnibus account basis through unaffiliated FCMs. The Company also contracts with an external provider to facilitate foreign exchange trading for its clients. The Company has agreed to indemnify these unaffiliated FCMs and the external provider for any loss that they may incur from the client transactions introduced to them by the Company. See " Insured Deposit Account Agreement " in Note 13 for a description of the guarantees included in that agreement. |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Disclosures | Fair Value Disclosures Fair Value Measurement — Definition and Hierarchy ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurement , defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820-10 establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company's own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels, as follows: • Level 1 — Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. This category includes active exchange-traded funds, money market mutual funds, mutual funds and equity securities. • Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Such inputs include quoted prices in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active and inactive markets, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. This category includes most debt securities, U.S. government agency mortgage-backed securities, which consist of Ginnie Mae Home Equity Conversion Mortgages, and other interest-sensitive financial instruments. • Level 3 — Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, where there is little, if any, observable market activity or data for the asset or liability. The following tables present the Company's fair value hierarchy for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2018 (dollars in millions): December 31, 2018 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Fair Value Assets: Cash equivalents: Money market mutual funds $ 4,524 $ — $ — $ 4,524 Investments segregated and on deposit for regulatory purposes: U.S. government debt securities — 200 — 200 U.S. government agency mortgage-backed securities — 799 — 799 Subtotal - Investments segregated for regulatory purposes — 999 — 999 Securities owned: U.S. government debt securities — 100 — 100 Other 3 6 — 9 Subtotal - Securities owned 3 106 — 109 Investments available-for-sale: U.S. government debt securities — 884 — 884 Other assets: Pay-variable interest rate swaps (1) — 2 — 2 U.S. government debt securities — 1 — 1 Subtotal - Other assets — 3 — 3 Total assets at fair value $ 4,527 $ 1,992 $ — $ 6,519 Liabilities: Accounts payable and other liabilities: Pay-variable interest rate swaps (1) $ — $ 44 $ — $ 44 (1) See " Fair Value Hedging " in Note 6 for details. September 30, 2018 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Fair Value Assets: Cash equivalents: Money market mutual funds $ 2,373 $ — $ — $ 2,373 Investments segregated and on deposit for regulatory purposes: U.S. government debt securities — 225 — 225 U.S. government agency mortgage-backed securities — 1,302 — 1,302 Subtotal - Investments segregated for regulatory purposes — 1,527 — 1,527 Securities owned: U.S. government debt securities — 149 — 149 Other 1 6 — 7 Subtotal - Securities owned 1 155 — 156 Investments available-for-sale: U.S. government debt securities — 484 — 484 Other assets: Pay-variable interest rate swaps (1) — 2 — 2 U.S. government debt securities — 1 — 1 Auction rate securities — — 1 1 Subtotal - Other assets — 3 1 4 Total assets at fair value $ 2,374 $ 2,169 $ 1 $ 4,544 Liabilities: Accounts payable and other liabilities: Pay-variable interest rate swaps (1) $ — $ 96 $ — $ 96 (1) See " Fair Value Hedging " in Note 6 for details. There were no transfers between any levels of the fair value hierarchy during the periods covered by this report. Valuation Techniques In general, and where applicable, the Company uses quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities to determine fair value. This pricing methodology applies to the Company's Level 1 assets and liabilities. If quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities are not available to determine fair value, then the Company uses quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities or inputs other than the quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly. This pricing methodology applies to the Company's Level 2 assets and liabilities. Level 2 Measurements: Debt securities — Fair values for debt securities are based on prices obtained from an independent pricing vendor. The primary inputs to the valuation include quoted prices for similar assets in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, contractual cash flows, benchmark yields and credit spreads. The Company validates the vendor pricing by periodically comparing it to pricing from another independent pricing service. The Company has not adjusted prices obtained from the independent pricing vendor for any periods presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements because no significant pricing differences have been observed. U.S. government agency mortgage-backed securities — Fair values for mortgage-backed securities are based on prices obtained from an independent pricing vendor. The primary inputs to the valuation include quoted prices for similar assets in active markets and in markets that are not active, a market derived prepayment curve, weighted average yields on the underlying collateral and spreads to benchmark indices. The Company validates the vendor pricing by periodically comparing it to pricing from two other independent sources. The Company has not adjusted prices obtained from the independent pricing vendor for any periods presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements because no significant pricing differences have been observed. Interest rate swaps — These derivatives are valued by the Company using a valuation model provided by a third-party service that incorporates interest rate yield curves, which are observable for substantially the full term of the contract. The valuation model is widely accepted in the financial services industry and does not involve significant judgment because most of the inputs are observable in the marketplace. Credit risk is not an input to the valuation because in each case the Company or counterparty has possession of collateral, in the form of cash or U.S. Treasury securities, in amounts equal to or exceeding the fair value of the interest rate swaps. The Company validates the third-party service valuations by comparing them to valuation models provided by the swap counterparties. Level 3 Measurements: The Company has no material assets or liabilities classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Fair Value of Financial Instruments Not Recorded at Fair Value Receivable from/payable to brokers, dealers and clearing organizations, receivable from/payable to clients, receivable from/payable to affiliates, other receivables, accounts payable and other liabilities and certain other borrowings are short-term in nature and accordingly are carried at amounts that approximate fair value. These financial instruments are recorded at or near their respective transaction prices and historically have been settled or converted to cash at approximately that value (categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy). Cash and investments segregated and on deposit for regulatory purposes includes reverse repurchase agreements (securities purchased under agreements to resell). Reverse repurchase agreements are treated as collateralized financing transactions and are carried at amounts at which the securities will subsequently be resold, plus accrued interest. The Company's reverse repurchase agreements generally have a maturity of seven days and are collateralized by securities in amounts exceeding the carrying value of the resale agreements. Accordingly, the carrying value of reverse repurchase agreements approximates fair value (categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy). Cash and investments segregated and on deposit for regulatory purposes also includes cash held in demand deposit accounts and on deposit with futures commission merchants, for which the carrying values approximate the fair value (categorized as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy). See Note 3 for a summary of cash and investments segregated and on deposit for regulatory purposes. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase (repurchase agreements) included within other borrowings — Under repurchase agreements the Company receives cash from the counterparties and provides U.S. Treasury securities as collateral. The obligations to repurchase securities sold are reflected as a liability on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Repurchase agreements are treated as collateralized financing transactions and are carried at amounts at which the securities will subsequently be repurchased, plus accrued interest. The Company's repurchase agreements are short-term in nature and accordingly the carrying value is a reasonable estimate of fair value (categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy). Long-term debt — As of December 31, 2018 , the Company's Senior Notes had an aggregate estimated fair value, based on quoted market prices (categorized as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy), of approximately $3.52 billion , compared to the aggregate carrying value of the Senior Notes on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet of $3.48 billion . As of September 30, 2018 , the Company's Senior Notes had an aggregate estimated fair value, based on quoted market prices, of approximately $2.51 billion , compared to the aggregate carrying value of the Senior Notes on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet of $2.44 billion . |

Related Party Transactions [Abstract] | |
Related Party Transactions | Related Party Transactions Transactions with TD and its Affiliates As a result of the Company's acquisition of TD Waterhouse Group, Inc. during fiscal year 2006, TD became an affiliate of the Company. TD owned approximately 42% of the Company's common stock as of December 31, 2018 . Pursuant to the stockholders agreement between TD and the Company, TD has the right to designate five of twelve members of the Company's board of directors. The Company transacts business and has extensive relationships with TD and certain of its affiliates. Transactions with TD and its affiliates are discussed and summarized below. Insured Deposit Account Agreement The Company is party to an insured deposit account ("IDA") agreement with TD Bank USA, N.A. ("TD Bank USA"), TD Bank, N.A. and TD. Under the IDA agreement, TD Bank USA and TD Bank, N.A. (together, the "TD Depository Institutions") make available to clients of the Company FDIC-insured (up to specified limits) money market deposit accounts as either designated sweep vehicles or as non-sweep deposit accounts. The Company provides marketing, recordkeeping and support services for the TD Depository Institutions with respect to the money market deposit accounts. In exchange for providing these services, the TD Depository Institutions pay the Company an aggregate marketing fee based on the weighted average yield earned on the client IDA assets, less the actual interest paid to clients, a servicing fee to the TD Depository Institutions and the cost of FDIC insurance premiums. The current IDA agreement became effective as of January 1, 2013 and had an initial term expiring July 1, 2018 . It is automatically renewable for successive five -year terms, provided that it may be terminated by either the Company or the TD Depository Institutions by providing written notice of non-renewal at least two years prior to the initial expiration date or the expiration date of any subsequent renewal period. As of July 1, 2016, notice of non-renewal was not provided by either party; therefore, the IDA agreement was automatically renewed for an additional five -year term on July 1, 2018. The fee earned on the IDA agreement is calculated based on two primary components: (a) the yield on fixed-rate notional investments, based on prevailing fixed rates for identical balances and maturities in the interest rate swap market (generally LIBOR-based) at the time such investments were added to the IDA portfolio (including any adjustments required to adjust the variable rate leg of such swaps to a one -month reset frequency and the overall swap payment frequency to monthly) and (b) the yield on floating-rate investments. As of December 31, 2018 , the IDA portfolio was comprised of approximately 73% fixed-rate notional investments and 27% floating-rate investments. The IDA agreement provides that the Company may designate amounts and maturity dates for the fixed-rate notional investments in the IDA portfolio, subject to certain limitations. For example, if the Company designates that $100 million of deposits be invested in 5 -year fixed-rate investments, and on the day such investment is confirmed by the TD Depository Institutions the prevailing fixed yield for the applicable 5 -year U.S. dollar LIBOR-based swaps is 1.45% , then the Company will earn a gross fixed yield of 1.45% on that portion of the portfolio (before any deductions for interest paid to clients, the servicing fee to the TD Depository Institutions and the cost of FDIC insurance premiums). In the event that (1) the federal funds effective rate is established at 0.75% or greater and (2) the rate on 5 -year U.S. dollar interest rate swaps is equal to or greater than 1.50% for 20 consecutive business days, then the rate earned by the Company on new fixed-rate notional investments will be reduced by 20% of the excess of the 5 -year U.S. dollar swap rate over 1.50% , up to a maximum of 0.10% . The yield on floating-rate investments is calculated daily based on the greater of the following rates published by the Federal Reserve: (1) the interest rate paid by Federal Reserve Banks on balances held in excess of required reserve balances and contractual clearing balances under Regulation D and (2) the daily effective federal funds rate. The interest rates paid to clients are set by the TD Depository Institutions and are not linked to any index. The servicing fee to the TD Depository Institutions under the IDA agreement is equal to 25 basis points on the aggregate average daily balance in the IDA accounts, subject to adjustment as it relates to deposits of less than or equal to $20 billion kept in floating-rate investments or in fixed-rate notional investments with a maturity of up to 24 months ("short-term fixed-rate investments"). For such floating-rate and short-term fixed-rate investments, the servicing fee is equal to the difference of the interest rate earned on the investments less the FDIC premiums paid (in basis points), divided by two. The servicing fee has a floor of 3 basis points (subject to adjustment from time to time to reflect material changes to the TD Depository Institutions' leverage costs) and a maximum of 25 basis points. In the event the marketing fee computation results in a negative amount, the Company must pay the TD Depository Institutions the negative amount. This effectively results in the Company guaranteeing the TD Depository Institutions revenue equal to the servicing fee on the IDA agreement, plus the reimbursement of FDIC insurance premiums. The marketing fee computation under the IDA agreement is affected by many variables, including the type, duration, principal balance and yield of the fixed-rate and floating-rate investments, the prevailing interest rate environment, the amount of client deposits and the yield paid on client deposits. Because a negative marketing fee computation would arise only if there were extraordinary movements in many of these variables, the maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under this arrangement cannot be reasonably estimated. Management believes the likelihood that the marketing fee calculation would result in a negative amount is remote. Accordingly, no contingent liability is carried on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for the IDA agreement. In the event the Company withdraws a notional investment prior to its maturity, the Company is required to reimburse the TD Depository Institutions an amount equal to the economic replacement value of the investment, as defined in the IDA agreement. See "General Contingencies" in Note 8 for a discussion of how the Company mitigates the risk of losses due to the early withdrawal of fixed-rate notional investments. In addition, the Company has various other services agreements and transactions with TD and its affiliates. The following tables summarize revenues and expenses resulting from transactions with TD and its affiliates for the periods indicated (dollars in millions): Revenues from TD and its Affiliates Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income Classification Three months ended Description 2018 2017 Insured Deposit Account Agreement Bank deposit account fees $ 402 $ 344 Order Routing Agreement (1) Other revenues 6 1 Mutual Fund Agreements Investment product fees 2 4 Other Various 13 3 Total revenues $ 423 $ 352 Expenses to TD and its Affiliates Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income Classification Three months ended Description 2018 2017 Order Routing Agreement (1) Other expense $ 5 N/A Other Various 2 2 Total expenses $ 7 $ 2 (1) Prior to fiscal year 2019, the Company accounted for revenues associated with the Order Routing Agreement between the Company and an affiliate of TD on a net basis through other revenues. Following the adoption of the new revenue recognition standard (ASU 2014-09) on October 1, 2018, the Company began accounting for Order Routing Agreement revenues on a gross basis. The Company adopted the new guidance using the modified retrospective approach, which requires the standard be applied only to the most current period presented; therefore, the prior period has not been adjusted to reflect the current period presentation. See "Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements" in Note 1 for additional details regarding the amended guidance. The following table summarizes the classification and amount of receivables from and payables to TD and its affiliates on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets resulting from related party transactions (dollars in millions): December 31, September 30, Assets: Receivable from affiliates $ 189 $ 151 Other receivables 11 — Liabilities: Payable to brokers, dealers and clearing organizations $ 60 $ 47 Payable to affiliates 4 7 Payables to brokers, dealers and clearing organizations primarily relate to securities lending activity and are settled in accordance with customary contractual terms. Receivables from and payables to TD affiliates resulting from client cash sweep activity are generally settled in cash the next business day. Other receivables from and payables to affiliates of TD are generally settled in cash on a monthly basis. As of September 30, 2018, payable to affiliates on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet included $38 million of liabilities assumed in connection with the acquisition of Scottrade. These liabilities were settled during the first quarter of fiscal year 2019. During the quarter ended December 31, 2018, the Company paid approximately $1 million of debt issuance costs to an affiliate of TD in connection with the issuance of the 2021 Notes and 2024 Notes, which is being amortized into interest expense over the terms of the respective 2021 Notes and 2024 Notes. |

Accelerated Stock Repurchase [Abstract] | |
Accelerated Stock Repurchase Agreements | Accelerated Stock Repurchase Agreements On November 27, 2018, the Company entered into an agreement with an investment bank counterparty to purchase shares of its common stock under an accelerated stock repurchase transaction (the "November 2018 ASR Agreement"). The Company paid $60 million to the counterparty and received an initial delivery of 0.9 million shares of its common stock on November 30, 2018, representing 80% of the potential shares to be repurchased based on the closing stock price of $53.08 on November 27, 2018. Settlement of the transaction is scheduled to occur after the end of an averaging period and is subject to early termination by the counterparty. The averaging period began on November 28, 2018 and will end no later than March 1, 2019. The total number of shares to be repurchased by the Company from the counterparty will be based on the average of the daily volume-weighted average share prices of the Company's common stock during the averaging period, less a pre-determined discount, up to a maximum of 2.3 million shares. If the total number of shares to be repurchased exceeds the number of shares delivered on November 30, 2018, the Company will receive the remaining balance of shares from the investment bank counterparty. If the total number of shares to be repurchased is less than the number of shares delivered on November 30, 2018, the Company has the contractual right to deliver to the investment bank counterparty either shares of its common stock or cash. The Company expects to receive additional shares upon final settlement of the November 2018 ASR Agreement. In September 2018, the Company entered into an agreement with an investment bank counterparty to purchase $150 million of its common stock under an accelerated stock repurchase transaction (the "September 2018 ASR Agreement"). Pursuant to the terms of the September 2018 ASR Agreement, the Company received an initial delivery of 2.2 million shares of its common stock in September 2018 and received an additional 0.6 million shares upon completion of the agreement in October 2018. The Company ultimately repurchased a total of approximately 2.8 million shares under the September 2018 ASR Agreement at a net weighted average price of $53.13 per share. The Company treated the ASR agreements as forward contracts indexed to its own common stock. The forward contracts met all of the applicable criteria for equity classification, including the Company's right to settle in shares. The Company reflected the shares received from the investment bank counterparties as treasury stock as of the dates the shares were delivered, which resulted in reductions of the outstanding shares used to calculate the weighted average common shares outstanding for both basic and diluted earnings per share during the respective periods. |

Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition On October 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC Topic 606) , and related ASUs using a modified retrospective approach for all contracts that were not completed as of October 1, 2018. The cumulative effect of the changes made to the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of October 1, 2018 for the adoption of ASU 2014-09 were as follows (dollars in millions): Balance at September 30, 2018 Adjustments from Adoption of ASU 2014-09 Balance at October 1, 2018 Assets: Other assets $ 212 $ 37 $ 249 Liabilities: Deferred income taxes 177 9 186 Stockholders' equity: Retained earnings 7,011 28 7,039 The modified retrospective transition method does not require the Company to recast the prior year financial statements; although, ASU 2014-09 requires the Company to provide additional disclosures for the amount by which each financial statement line item is affected by the adoption of the standard. The financial statement line items affected by the adoption of ASU 2014-09 are as follows (dollars in millions): As of December 31, 2018 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet As Reported Balances Without Adoption of ASU 2014-09 Effect of Change Higher/(Lower) Assets: Other assets $ 262 $ 228 $ 34 Liabilities: Deferred income taxes 211 203 8 Stockholders' equity: Retained earnings 7,475 7,449 26 Three Months Ended December 31, 2018 Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income As Reported Balances Without Adoption of ASU 2014-09 Effect of Change Higher/(Lower) Revenues: Other revenues $ 32 $ 20 $ 12 Operating expenses: Employee compensation and benefits 317 314 3 Clearing and execution costs 49 45 4 Other 46 38 8 Provision for income taxes 174 175 (1 ) Net Income 604 606 (2 ) The following table sets forth the disaggregation of the Company's revenue by major source for the periods indicated (dollars in millions): Three Months Ended December 31, 2018 2017 % Change Revenues: Transaction-based revenues: Commissions $ 364 $ 313 16 % Order routing revenue 129 98 32 % Other 44 29 52 % Total transaction-based revenues 537 440 Asset-based revenues: Bank deposit account fees 428 381 12 % Net interest revenue 376 276 36 % Investment product fees 143 133 8 % Total asset-based revenues 947 790 Other revenues 32 27 19 % Net revenues $ 1,516 $ 1,257 The amount of revenue recognized by the Company is measured based on the consideration specified in contracts with its clients. The Company recognizes revenue when a performance obligation is satisfied over time as the services are performed or at a point in time depending on the nature of the services provided as further discussed below. Transaction-Based Revenues Transaction-based revenues primarily consists of trading commissions earned on trade execution, net of promotional allowances, and order routing revenue. The primary factors driving the Company's transaction-based revenues are total trades and average commissions per trade. Commission rates are based on rates established by the Company, which vary by type of trade. Transaction-based revenues are earned and recognized at a point in time, on a trade-date basis, as clients execute trades. These trades are generally settled and trading commissions are collected from the Company's clients within one to two business days after the trade date. Order routing revenues are generated from arrangements with market destinations to receive cash payments in exchange for routing trade orders to these firms for execution and are generally collected from the market destinations on a monthly basis. Securities owned by clients, including those that collateralize margin or similar transactions, are not reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. Asset-Based Revenues Asset-based revenues consists of bank deposit account fees, net interest revenue and investment product fees. The primary factors driving the Company's asset-based revenues are average balances and average rates. Average balances consist primarily of average client bank deposit account balances, average client margin balances, average segregated cash balances, average client credit balances, average fee-based investment balances and average securities borrowing and lending balances. Average rates consist of the average interest rates and fees earned and paid on such balances. Bank deposit account fees Bank deposit account fees consists of revenues earned and recognized over time resulting from a sweep program that is offered to eligible clients of the Company whereby clients' uninvested cash is swept off-balance sheet to FDIC-insured (up to specified limits) accounts with Sweep Program Counterparties participating in the program. These revenues are based on the return of floating-rate and fixed-rate notional investments, less the actual interest paid to clients and other applicable fees. Bank deposit account fees are collected from the Sweep Program Counterparties on a monthly basis. See " Insured Deposit Account Agreemen t" in Note 13 for a description of the sweep arrangement between the Company and TD. Net interest revenue Net interest revenue, which is generated from financial instruments covered by various other areas of GAAP, is not within the scope of ASC 606 and is included in the table above to reconcile to net revenues disclosed within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Net interest revenue primarily consists of income generated by interest charged to clients on margin balances, net interest revenue from securities borrowed and securities loaned transactions and interest earned on client cash, net of interest paid to clients on their credit balances. Investment product fees Investment product fee revenue consists of revenues earned and recorded over time on client assets invested in money market mutual funds, other mutual funds and certain investment programs. Investment product fees also includes fees earned on client assets managed by independent registered investment advisors ("RIAs") utilizing the Company's trading and investing platforms. Investment product fees are collected from clients and RIAs on a monthly or quarterly basis. Primary revenue sources within investment product fees are described below. The following table presents the significant components of investment product fees for the periods indicated (dollars in millions): Three Months Ended December 31, 2018 2017 % Change Investment product fees: Investment program fees $ 69 $ 65 6 % Mutual fund service fees 67 58 16 % Other 7 10 (30 )% Total investment product fees $ 143 $ 133 Investment program fees are earned through fees charged to clients enrolled in product offerings which are actively managed by TD Ameritrade Investment Management, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. These fees are earned over time and are based on contractual rates applied to asset balances held by the Company's clients in these product offerings. Certain program fees are based on quarter-end balances and are collected from clients in advance, at the beginning of each calendar quarter. Revenues collected on a quarterly basis, less refunds for clients ceasing participation in the program, are recognized during the quarter as performance obligations are satisfied. Other program fees are based on average daily asset balances and collected from clients on a monthly basis. The Company also earns investment program fees through referral and asset-based program fees on its client assets managed by independent RIAs utilizing the Company's platform. These fees are earned based on contractual rates applied to the client's average daily asset balances under management. Referral fees are earned over time and collected from the independent RIAs on a monthly or quarterly basis, as the variable consideration of a transaction price is no longer constrained and the value of consideration can be determined as discussed previously. Asset-based program fees are also earned over time and collected from the independent RIAs on a monthly or quarterly basis. Mutual fund service fees includes shareholder services fees and Rule 12b-1 service and distribution fees. Shareholder services fees are earned on the Company's client assets invested in money market mutual funds and other mutual funds for record-keeping and administrative services provided to these funds. The Company earns Rule 12b-1 service and distribution fees for marketing and distribution services provided to these funds. The fees earned are based on contractual rates applied to the average daily net asset value of eligible shares of a respective fund held by the Company's clients. Shareholder services fees are earned over time and collected from the funds on a monthly or quarterly basis. Rule 12b-1fees are also earned over time and collected from the funds on a monthly or quarterly basis, as the variable consideration of a transaction price is no longer constrained and the value of consideration can be determined as discussed previously. Other revenues Other revenues primarily include proxy income, solicit and tender fees and other fees charged for ancillary services provided by the Company to its clients. In addition, other revenues include fair market value adjustments and gains/losses associated with investments held by the Company's broker-dealer subsidiaries. Other revenues generated from investments is covered by various other areas of GAAP, is not within the scope of ASC 606 and is included in the table above to reconcile to net revenues disclosed within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Proxy fee income is earned and collected at a point in time when the Company distributes proxy statements to its clients on behalf of a registrant and the revenue is based on the volume of proxies distributed and the rate per unit charged to each registrant. Solicit and tender fees are earned and collected from clients at a point in time when the Company has satisfied its obligation to maintain its client accounts holding securities affected by corporate actions. Contract balances The following table presents the opening and closing balances of the Company's receivables from contracts with clients that are within the scope of ASC 606 on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets (dollars in millions): Contract Balances Receivable from Clients Receivable from Affiliates Other Receivables Total Receivables from Contracts with Clients Opening balance, October 1, 2018 $ 16 $ 7 $ 115 $ 138 Closing balance, December 31, 2018 27 7 116 150 Increase $ 11 $ — $ 1 $ 12 The difference between the opening and closing balances of the Company's receivables from contracts with clients primarily results from the timing difference between the Company's performance and the client's payment. No other significant contract assets or liabilities exist as of December 31, 2018 and October 1, 2018. Unsatisfied Performance Obligations The Company does not have any unsatisfied performance obligations subject to a practical expedient election under ASC 606. |

Recently Adopted & Issued Accounting Pronouncements | Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements ASU 2016-18 — On October 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-18, Restricted Cash , using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. This ASU amends the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 230, Statement of Cash Flows , and is intended to reduce the diversity in the classification and presentation of changes in restricted cash on the statement of cash flows. The amendments within this ASU require that the reconciliation of the beginning-of-period and end-of-period cash and cash equivalents amounts shown on the statement of cash flows include restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents. If restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents are presented separately from cash and cash equivalents on the balance sheet, an entity is required to reconcile the amounts presented on the statement of cash flows to the amounts on the balance sheet. An entity is also required to disclose information regarding the nature of the restrictions. Upon the adoption of this standard, the Company recorded a decrease of $32 million in cash flows from operating activities for the three months ended December 31, 2017 to reflect the reclassification of changes in restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents amounts from the operating section to the beginning-of-period and end-of-period cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents amounts within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. See Note 2 for additional information regarding restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents. ASU 2016-16 — On October 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2016-16, Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory. This ASU amends the guidance in ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes . The amendments in this ASU are intended to improve the accounting for the income tax consequences of intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory by requiring an entity to recognize the income tax consequences when a transfer occurs, instead of when the asset is sold to a third party. The adoption of ASU 2016-16 did not have an impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements. ASU 2014-09 — On October 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers , using a modified retrospective approach, which requires the standard be applied only to the most current period presented, with the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognized at the date of initial application. The new revenue recognition standard is intended to clarify the principles of recognizing revenue from contracts with customers and to improve financial reporting by creating common revenue recognition guidance for U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. This ASU supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance. Entities are required to apply the following steps when recognizing revenue under ASU 2014-09: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. This ASU also requires additional disclosures related to the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows, as the satisfaction of performance obligations under the new guidance is materially consistent with the Company's previous revenue recognition policies. However, the adoption of this standard did impact the Company by: (1) requiring the capitalization of sales commissions paid to employees for obtaining new contracts with clients and (2) accounting for revenues from certain contracts on a gross basis when the Company is acting as a principal, as compared to the prior guidance, which allowed for these contracts to be accounted for on a net basis. For additional information on the Company's adoption of the amended guidance, see Note 15 , Revenue Recognition. The new guidance does not apply to revenue associated with financial instruments, such as interest revenue, which is accounted for under other GAAP. Accordingly, net interest revenue was not impacted. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements ASU 2017-12 — In August 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2017-12, Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities , which will amend the guidance in ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The objective of this ASU is to improve the financial reporting of hedging relationships to better portray the economic results of an entity's risk management activities in its financial statements through changes to both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and to the presentation of hedge results. In addition, the amendments in this ASU make certain targeted improvements to simplify the application of the hedge accounting guidance in current GAAP. All transition requirements and elections under ASU 2017-12 should be applied to hedging relationships existing on the date of adoption, with the effect of the adoption reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The amended presentation and disclosure guidance is required only prospectively. Subsequent to issuing ASU 2017-12, the FASB issued 2018-16, Inclusion of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) Overnight Index Swap (OIS) Rate as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes , for the purpose of introducing an additional benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes. SOFR is a volume-weighted median interest rate that is calculated daily based on overnight transactions from the prior day's trading activity in specified segments of the U.S. Treasury repo market. The subsequently issued ASU has the same effective date and transition requirements as ASU 2017-12. ASU 2017-12 will be effective for the Company's fiscal year beginning October 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact this ASU will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements. ASU 2016-13 — In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments . The main objective of ASU 2016-13 is to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about an entity's expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit at each reporting date. To achieve this objective, the amendments in this update replace the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to develop credit loss estimates. Subsequent to issuing ASU 2016-13, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses , for the purpose of clarifying certain aspects of ASU 2016-13. ASU 2018-19 has the same effective date and transition requirements as ASU 2016-13. ASU 2016-13 will be effective for the Company's fiscal year beginning October 1, 2020, using a modified retrospective approach. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact this ASU will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements. ASU 2016-02 — In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases . This ASU will supersede the guidance in ASC Topic 840, Leases . Under ASU 2016-02, for lease arrangements exceeding a 12-month term, a lessee will be required to recognize in the balance sheet a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. ASU 2016-02 will retain a distinction between finance and operating leases; however, the principal difference from the previous guidance is that lease assets and liabilities arising from operating leases will be recognized in the balance sheet. The recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee will not significantly change from current GAAP. The accounting applied by a lessor will be largely unchanged from that applied under current GAAP. Subsequent to issuing ASU 2016-02, the FASB has issued additional standards for the purpose of clarifying certain aspects of ASU 2016-02 and providing an additional (optional) transition method with which to adopt the new leases standard. The subsequently issued ASUs have the same effective date and transition requirements as ASU 2016-02. Under ASU 2016-02, an entity may apply the amendments by using one of the following two methods: (1) recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach or (2) apply the standard at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. ASU 2016-02 will be effective for the Company's fiscal year beginning October 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company has not selected a transition method and is currently assessing the impact this ASU will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements, but does not expect the standard to have a material impact on its net income. Upon adoption of ASU 2016-02, the Company expects to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for its operating leases, with initial measurement as defined by the ASU, in its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. |
Loss Contingencies (ASC) 450 | ASC 450, Loss Contingencies, governs the recognition and disclosure of loss contingencies, including potential losses from legal and regulatory matters. ASC 450 categorizes loss contingencies using three terms based on the likelihood of occurrence of events that result in a loss: "probable" means that "the future event or events are likely to occur;" "remote" means that "the chance of the future event or events occurring is slight;" and "reasonably possible" means that "the chance of the future event or events occurring is more than remote but less than likely." Under ASC 450, the Company accrues for losses that are considered both probable and reasonably estimable. |
Fair Value Measurement (ASC) 820-10 | ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurement , defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820-10 establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company's own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. |
Revenue Recognition (ASC) 606 | The amount of revenue recognized by the Company is measured based on the consideration specified in contracts with its clients. The Company recognizes revenue when a performance obligation is satisfied over time as the services are performed or at a point in time depending on the nature of the services provided as further discussed below.
