Overview and Basis of Presentation | Overview and Basis of Presentation Description of the Business Workday delivers applications for financial management, spend management, human capital management, planning, and analytics. With Workday, our customers have a unified system that can help them plan, execute, analyze, and extend to other applications and environments, thereby helping them continuously adapt how they manage their business and operations. Fiscal Year Our fiscal year ends on January 31. References to fiscal 2024, for example, refer to the fiscal year ended January 31, 2024. Basis of Presentation These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and include the results of Workday, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Certain prior period amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation. Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make certain estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates, judgments, and assumptions include, but are not limited to, the identification of distinct performance obligations for revenue recognition, the determination of the period of benefit for deferred commissions, the realizability of deferred tax assets, the measurement of uncertain tax positions, the fair value and useful lives of assets acquired and liabilities assumed through business combinations, and the valuation of non-marketable equity investments. Actual results could differ from those estimates, judgments, and assumptions, and such differences could be material to our consolidated financial statements. In February 2023, we completed an assessment of the useful lives of our data center equipment, including servers, network equipment, and integrated complete server and network racks. Due to advances in technology, as well as investments in software that increased efficiencies in how we operate our data center equipment, we determined we should increase the estimated useful lives of data center equipment from 3 years to 5 years. This change in accounting estimate was effective beginning fiscal 2024. Based on the carrying amount of data center equipment that was in-service as of January 31, 2023, this change decreased depreciation expense by $93 million for fiscal 2024. Segment Information We operate in one operating segment, cloud applications. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise where separate financial information is evaluated regularly by a chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and assessing performance. Our CODM allocates resources and assesses performance based upon discrete financial information at the consolidated level. For fiscal 2024, our co-chief executive officers together served as CODM for purposes of segment reporting. Effective February 1, 2024, Mr. Bhusri stepped down from his role as Co-CEO and assumed the role of Executive Chair, and Mr. Eschenbach became the sole CEO. In conjunction with the transition, Mr. Bhusri no longer serves as CODM for purposes of segment reporting effective February 1, 2024. Despite the change in the CODM, we determined that no change to segment reporting is necessary as there is no change in the components for which separate financial information are regularly evaluated. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Accounting Standards and Significant Accounting Policies | Accounting Standards and Significant Accounting Policies Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Revenue Recognition We derive our revenues from subscription services and professional services. Revenues are recognized when control of these services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to receive in exchange for services rendered. Revenues are recognized net of any taxes collected from customers which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities. We determine revenue recognition through the following steps: • Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer; • Identification of the performance obligations in the contract; • Determination of the transaction price; • Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and • Recognition of revenues when, or as, we satisfy a performance obligation. Subscription Services Revenues Subscription services revenues primarily consist of fees that provide customers access to one or more of our cloud applications for financial management, spend management, human capital management, planning, and analytics, with routine customer support. Revenues are generally recognized on a ratable basis over the contract term beginning on the date that our service is made available to the customer. Our subscription contracts are generally three years or longer in length and are generally noncancelable. Professional Services Revenues Professional services revenues primarily consist of consulting fees for deployment and optimization services, as well as training. Our consulting contracts are billed on a time and materials basis or a fixed price basis. For contracts billed on a time and materials basis, revenues are recognized over time as the professional services are performed. For contracts billed on a fixed price basis, revenues are recognized over time based on the proportion of the professional services performed. Contracts with Multiple Performance Obligations Some of our contracts with customers contain multiple performance obligations. For these contracts, we account for individual performance obligations separately if they are distinct. The transaction price is allocated to the separate performance obligations on a relative standalone selling price basis. We determine the standalone selling prices based on our overall pricing objectives, taking into consideration market conditions and other factors, including the value of our contracts, the cloud applications sold, customer demographics, geographic locations, and the number and types of users within our contracts. We use a range of amounts to estimate SSP for both subscription and professional services sold together in a contract to determine whether there is a discount to be allocated based on the relative SSP of the performance obligations. We use historical sales transaction data, among other factors, to determine the SSP for each distinct performance obligation. Our SSP ranges are reassessed on a periodic basis or when facts and circumstances change. Changes in SSP for our services can evolve over time due to changes in our pricing practices that are influenced by market competition, changes in demand for our services, and other economic factors. As our go-to-market strategies evolve, we may modify our pricing practices in the future, which could result in changes to SSP and may therefore impact revenue recognized in our consolidated financial statements. Contract Balances We generally invoice our customers annually in advance for our subscription services and in arrears for our professional services. Payment terms and conditions vary by contract type and by customer, and payment is generally required within 30 days from date of invoicing. The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing customers, and these timing differences result in trade receivables, contract assets, or contract liabilities (unearned revenue) on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Trade Receivables and Contract Assets We record a trade receivable when an unconditional right to consideration exists, such that only the passage of time is required before payment of consideration is due. A contract asset is recognized when a conditional right to consideration exists and We maintain an allowance for credit losses for expected uncollectible trade receivables and Unearned Revenue Contract liabilities consist of unearned revenue, which is recorded when we invoice in advance of revenues being recognized from our contracts. Unearned revenue that is anticipated to be recognized during the succeeding twelve-month period is recorded as current unearned revenue and the remaining portion is recorded as noncurrent. Fair Value Measurement We measure our cash equivalents, marketable securities, and foreign currency derivative contracts at fair value at each reporting period using a fair value hierarchy that requires that we maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. In addition, we measure our non-marketable equity investments for which there has been an impairment or an observable price change from an orderly transaction for identical or similar investments of the same issuer at fair value. A financial instrument’s classification within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Three levels of inputs may be used to measure fair value: Level 1 — Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. Level 2 — Other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace. Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase. Our cash equivalents primarily consist of investments in U.S. treasury securities, U.S. agency obligations, corporate bonds, commercial paper, and money market funds. Debt Securities Debt securities primarily consist of investments in U.S. treasury securities, U.S. agency obligations, corporate bonds, and commercial paper. We classify our debt securities as available-for-sale at the time of purchase and reevaluate such classification as of each balance sheet date. We consider all debt securities as funds available for use in current operations, including those with maturity dates beyond one year, and therefore classify these securities as current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Debt securities included in Marketable securities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets consist of securities with original maturities at the time of purchase greater than three months, and the remaining securities are included in Cash and cash equivalents. Realized gains or losses from the sales of debt securities are based on the specific identification method. When the fair value of a debt security is below its amortized cost, the amortized cost should be written down to its fair value if (i) it is more likely than not that management will be required to sell the impaired security before recovery of its amortized basis or (ii) management has the intention to sell the security. If neither of these conditions are met, we must determine whether the impairment is due to credit losses. To determine the amount of credit losses, we compare the present value of the expected cash flows of the security, derived by taking into account the issuer’s credit ratings and remaining payment terms, with its amortized cost basis. The amount of impairment recognized is limited to the excess of the amortized cost over the fair value of the security. An allowance for credit losses for the excess of amortized cost over the expected cash flows is recorded in Other income (expense), net on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Non-credit related losses are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”). If quoted prices for identical instruments are available in an active market, debt securities are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. If quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets are not available, fair values are estimated using quoted prices of similar instruments and are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. To date, all of our debt securities can be valued using one of these two methodologies. Equity Investments We determine at the inception of each arrangement whether an investment or other interest is considered a variable interest entity (“VIE”). If the investment or other interest is determined to be a VIE, we must evaluate whether we are considered the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is the party that meets both of the following criteria: (1) has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance; and (2) has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE. For investments in VIEs in which we are considered the primary beneficiary, the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of the VIE are included in our consolidated financial statements. As of January 31, 2024, and 2023, there were no VIEs for which we were the primary beneficiary. Non-Marketable Equity Investments Measured Using the Measurement Alternative Non-marketable equity investments measured using the measurement alternative include investments in privately held companies without readily determinable fair values in which we do not own a controlling interest or exercise significant influence. These investments are recorded at cost and are adjusted for observable transactions for same or similar securities of the same issuer or impairment events. These investments are included in Other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Additionally, we assess our non-marketable equity investments quarterly for impairment. Adjustments and impairments are recorded in Other income (expense), net on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Marketable Equity Investments We may hold marketable equity investments with readily determinable fair values over which we do not own a controlling interest or exercise significant influence. Marketable equity investments are included in Marketable securities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. They are measured using quoted prices in active markets with changes recorded in Other income (expense), net on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of January 31, 2024, we had no marketable equity investments. Deferred Commissions Sales commissions earned by our sales force are considered incremental and recoverable costs of obtaining a contract with a customer. Sales commissions for new revenue contracts are capitalized and then amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of benefit that we have determined to be five years. We determined the period of benefit by taking into consideration our customer contracts, our technology, and other factors. Amortization expense is included in Sales and marketing expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities We use derivative financial instruments to manage foreign currency exchange risk. Derivative instruments are measured at fair value and recorded as either an asset or liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value are accounted for depending on the use of the derivative and whether it is designated and qualifies for hedge accounting. For derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges (“cash flow hedges”), which we use to hedge a portion of our forecasted foreign currency revenue and expense transactions, the gains or losses are recorded in AOCI on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and subsequently reclassified to the same line item as the hedged transaction on the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the same period that the hedged transaction affects earnings. For derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments (“non-designated hedges”), which we use to hedge a portion of our net outstanding monetary assets and liabilities, the gains or losses are recorded in Other income (expense), net on the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the period incurred. Cash flows from the settlement of forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges and non-designated hedges are classified as operating activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Our foreign currency contracts are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy because the valuation inputs are based on quoted prices and market observable data of similar instruments in active markets, such as currency spot and forward rates. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation, except for land which is stated at cost. Depreciation is recorded using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as shown in the table below. Property and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Computers, equipment, and software 2 - 10 years Buildings 10 - 60 years Leasehold improvements shorter of the related lease term or ten years Furniture, fixtures, and transportation equipment 5 - 12 years Land improvements 15 years Business Combinations We allocate the purchase consideration of acquired companies to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition date, with the excess recorded to goodwill. Our estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. During the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, we may record adjustments to the fair value of these tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including uncertain tax positions and tax-related valuation allowances, with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the fair value of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to the Consolidated Statements of Operations. In the event that we acquire a company in which we previously held an equity interest, the difference between the fair value of the shares as of the date of the acquisition and the carrying value of the equity investment is recorded as a non-cash gain or loss and recorded within Other income (expense), net on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Goodwill and Acquisition-Related Intangible Assets Acquisition-related intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives. Goodwill amounts are not amortized. Acquisition-related intangible assets and goodwill are tested for impairment at least annually, and more frequently upon the occurrence of certain events. Leases We have entered into operating lease agreements for our office space, data centers, and other property and equipment. Operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease term. Right-of-use assets also include adjustments related to prepaid or deferred lease payments and lease incentives. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit interest rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of lease payments. Treasury Stock Treasury stock is accounted for using the cost method and recorded as a reduction to Stockholders’ equity on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Incremental direct costs to purchase treasury stock are included in the cost of the shares acquired. To determine the cost of treasury stock that is either sold or re-issued, we use the first in, first out method. When treasury stock is re-issued at a price higher than its cost, the increase is recorded in Additional paid-in capital on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. When treasury stock is re-issued at a price lower than its cost, the decrease is recorded in Additional paid-in capital to the extent that there are previously recorded increases to offset the decrease. Any decreases in excess of that amount are recorded in Accumulated deficit on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Advertising Expenses Advertising is expensed as incurred. Advertising expense was $194 million, $172 million, and $131 million for fiscal 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively. Share-Based Compensation We measure and recognize compensation expense for share-based awards issued to employees and non-employees, primarily including RSUs and purchases under the Amended and Restated 2012 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”), on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. For RSUs, fair value is based on the closing price of our common stock on the grant date. Compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. The requisite service period of the awards is generally the same as the vesting period. For shares issued under the ESPP, fair value is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the offering period. We determine the assumptions for the option-pricing model as follows: • Risk-Free Interest Rate. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the date closest to the grant date for zero-coupon U.S. Treasury notes with maturities approximately equal to the expected term of the ESPP purchase rights. • Expected Term. The expected term represents the period that our ESPP is expected to be outstanding. The expected term for the ESPP approximates the offering period. • Volatility. The volatility is based on a blend of historical volatility and implied volatility of our common stock. Implied volatility is based on market traded options of our common stock. • Dividend Yield. The dividend yield is assumed to be zero as we have not paid and do not expect to pay dividends. Income Taxes We record a provision for (benefit from) income taxes for the anticipated tax consequences of the reported results of operations using the asset and liability method. Under this method, we recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities, as well as for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the tax rates that are expected to apply to taxable income for the years in which those tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the net amount that is more likely than not to be realized. In the event that we change our determination as to the amount of deferred tax assets that can be realized, we will adjust our valuation allowance with a corresponding impact to the provision for (benefit from) income taxes in the period in which such determination is made. We recognize the tax benefit of an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the position is sustainable upon examination by the taxing authority, based on the technical merits. The tax benefit recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit which is greater than 50% likely to be realized upon settlement with the taxing authority. To the extent the assessment of such tax position changes, such difference will affect the provision for (benefit from) income taxes in the period in which we make the determination. We recognize interest accrued and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for (benefit from) income taxes. Warranties and Indemnification Our cloud applications are generally warranted to perform materially in accordance with our online documentation under normal use and circumstances. Additionally, our contracts generally include provisions for indemnifying customers against liabilities if use of our cloud applications infringe a third party’s intellectual property rights. We may also incur liabilities if we breach the security, privacy, and/or confidentiality obligations in our contracts. To date, we have not incurred any material costs, and we have not accrued any liabilities in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, as a result of these obligations. In our standard agreements with customers, we commit to defined levels of service availability and performance and, under certain circumstances, permit customers to receive credits in the event that we fail to meet those levels. In the event our failure to meet those levels triggers a termination right for a customer, we permit a terminating customer to receive a refund of prepaid amounts related to unused subscription services. To date, we have not experienced any significant failures to meet defined levels of availability and performance and, as a result, we have not accrued any liabilities related to these agreements on the consolidated financial statements. Foreign Currency Exchange Concentrations of Risk and Significant Customers Our financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, debt securities, derivative instruments, and trade and other receivables. Our deposits exceed federally insured limits. No customer individually accounted for more than 10% of trade and other receivables, net as of January 31, 2024, or 2023. No customer individually accounted for more than 10% of total revenues during fiscal 2024, 2023, or 2022. Other than the United States, no country individually accounted for more than 10% of total revenues during fiscal 2024, 2023, or 2022. In order to reduce the risk of disruption of our cloud applications, we have established data centers in various geographic regions. We serve our customers and users from data center facilities operated by third parties, located in North America and Europe. We have internal procedures to restore services in the event of disruption at one of our data center facilities. Even with these procedures for disaster recovery in place, our cloud applications could be significantly interrupted during the implementation of the procedures to restore services. In addition, we rely upon third-party hosted infrastructure partners globally, including AWS, Google LLC, and Microsoft Corporation, to serve customers and operate certain aspects of our services. Given this, any disruption of or interference at our hosted infrastructure partners may impact our operations and our business could be adversely impacted. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures , which requires disclosure of incremental segment information on an annual and interim basis. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and requires retrospective application to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. We are currently evaluating the impacts of the new standard. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Disclosures, which requires disclosure of disaggregated income taxes paid, prescribes standard categories for the components of the effective tax rate reconciliation, and modifies other income tax-related disclosures. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and allows for adoption on a prospective basis, with a retrospective option. We are currently evaluating the impacts of the new standard. |

Related-Party Transactions There were no material related party transactions related to our property and equipment in fiscal 2024 or 2023. Aircraft Purchase During fiscal 2022, we purchased an aircraft from an affiliate of our Co-Founder and CEO Emeritus, David Duffield, for approximately $24 million in cash. The aircraft was purchased primarily for the purpose of business travel by our Co-Founder and Executive Chair, Mr. Bhusri, and other Workday executives. In approving the related-party transaction, the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors considered the benefits to Workday of purchasing the aircraft, independent appraisals, the terms of the related purchase agreement, and the extent and nature of Mr. Duffield’s interest in the transaction. The aircraft is included in the Furniture, fixtures, and transportation equipment category in the table above. Leased Property Purchase During fiscal 2022, we purchased certain leased office space (“Property”) within our corporate headquarters from an affiliate of Mr. Duffield for $173 million in cash. In deciding to purchase the Property, the independent members of our Board of Directors considered the benefits to Workday, including the importance of obtaining control of the Property, which is part of Workday’s headquarters campus, and the long-term cost savings from ownership as compared to continuing to lease the Property. Our Board of Directors also considered independent appraisals, comparable transaction data, and the extent and nature of Mr. Duffield’s interest in the transaction. The carrying value of the Property upon purchase was $158 million, calculated as the purchase price less approximately $15 million which represents the difference between the carrying values of the right-of-use asset and lease liability of the Property immediately prior to the purchase.

Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract] | |
Business Combinations | Business Combinations There were no material business combinations in fiscal 2024 or 2023. Fiscal 2022 VNDLY Acquisition On December 21, 2021, we acquired all outstanding stock of VNDLY, a cloud-based external workforce and vendor management technology. With VNDLY, Workday provides organizations with a unified workforce optimization solution that helps organizations manage all types of workers—salaried, hourly, contingent, and outsourced—and support a holistic talent strategy, including insight into costs, workforce planning needs, and compliance. We have included the financial results of VNDLY in our consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. The total acquisition-date fair value of the purchase consideration was $473 million, which was paid in cash. In connection with the acquisition, we issued approximately 152 thousand shares of our Class A common stock to certain key VNDLY employees, with 50% of such shares issued following the first anniversary of the closing date of the acquisition and the remaining 50% to be issued following the second anniversary of the closing date, subject to service conditions. The aggregate fair value of the equity was accounted for as post-acquisition share-based compensation expense. The purchase consideration was allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date, with the excess recorded to goodwill. The purchase consideration allocation, which includes measurement period adjustments, was as follows (in millions): Cash $ 23 Acquisition-related intangible assets 40 Goodwill 412 Other assets 3 Deferred tax liability (3) Other liabilities (2) Total $ 473 The fair values and weighted-average useful lives of the acquired intangible assets by category were as follows (in millions, except years): Estimated Fair Values Weighted-Average Useful Lives (in Years) Developed technology $ 27 4 Customer relationships 13 13 Total acquisition-related intangible assets $ 40 7 The goodwill recognized was primarily attributable to the assembled workforce and the expected synergies from integrating VNDLY’s technology into our product portfolio. The goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes. Separate operating results and pro forma results of operations for VNDLY have not been presented as the effect of this acquisition was not material to our financial results. Zimit Acquisition On September 28, 2021, we acquired all outstanding stock of Zimit, a CPQ solution built for services industries. With Zimit, Workday delivers a comprehensive quote-to-cash process automation offering that provides services organizations increased visibility across the entire revenue cycle. We have included the financial results of Zimit in our consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. The acquisition-date fair value of the purchase consideration was $76 million, with $62 million attributable to cash consideration and $14 million attributable to the fair value of a previously held equity interest. We recorded developed technology intangible assets of $7 million (to be amortized over an estimated useful life of 4 years), customer relationships intangible assets of $3 million (to be amortized over an estimated useful life of 13 years), and goodwill of $67 million. Goodwill was primarily attributable to the expected synergies from integrating Zimit’s technology into our product portfolio. The goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes. We invested $2 million in Zimit prior to the acquisition, which was accounted for as a non-marketable equity investment. We recognized a non-cash gain of approximately $12 million as a result of remeasuring our prior equity interest in Zimit held before the business combination. The gain is included in Other income (expense), net on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Separate operating results and pro forma results of operations for Zimit have not been presented as the effect of this acquisition was not material to our financial results. Peakon Acquisition On March 9, 2021, we acquired all outstanding stock of Peakon, an employee success platform that converts feedback into actionable insights, for $702 million. With Peakon, Workday provides organizations with a continuous listening platform, including real-time visibility into employee experience, sentiment, and productivity, to help drive employee engagement and improve organizational performance. We have included the financial results of Peakon in our consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. The acquisition-date fair value of the purchase consideration consisted of the following (in millions): Cash paid to stockholders, warrant holders, and vested option holders $ 684 Transaction costs paid by Workday on behalf of Peakon 18 Total $ 702 Additionally, we granted certain Peakon employees restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) with service conditions, which totaled approximately 82 thousand shares of our Class A common stock. The aggregate grant date fair value of the RSAs was accounted for as post-acquisition share-based compensation expense. The purchase consideration was allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date, with the excess recorded to goodwill. The purchase consideration allocation, which includes measurement period adjustments, was as follows (in millions): Acquisition-related intangible assets $ 171 Goodwill 541 Other assets 35 Deferred tax liability (20) Other liabilities (25) Total $ 702 The fair values and weighted-average useful lives of the acquired intangible assets by category were as follows (in millions, except years): Estimated Fair Values Weighted-Average Useful Lives (in Years) Developed technology $ 94 5 Customer relationships 72 13 Backlog 4 3 Trade name 1 1 Total acquisition-related intangible assets $ 171 8 The goodwill recognized was primarily attributable to the assembled workforce and the expected synergies from integrating Peakon’s technology into our product portfolio. A portion of the goodwill was deductible for income tax purposes. Separate operating results and pro forma results of operations for Peakon have not been presented as the effect of this acquisition was not material to our financial results. |

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Derivative Instruments | Derivative Instruments We conduct business on a global basis in multiple foreign currencies, subjecting Workday to foreign currency exchange risk. To mitigate this risk, we utilize derivative hedging contracts as described below. We do not enter into any derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. Cash Flow Hedges We enter into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge a portion of our forecasted revenue and expense transactions. We designate these forward contracts as cash flow hedging instruments since the accounting criteria for such designation has been met. As of January 31, 2024, we estimate that $26 million of net gains recorded in AOCI related to our cash flow hedges will be reclassified into income within the next 12 months. As of January 31, 2024, and 2023, the notional values of the cash flow hedges that we held to buy U.S. dollars in exchange for other currencies were $2.5 billion and $1.7 billion, respectively. The notional values of the cash flow hedges that we held to sell U.S. dollars in exchange for other currencies were $399 million and $324 million as of January 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively. All contracts had maturities of less than 60 months. Non-Designated Hedges We also enter into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge a portion of our net outstanding monetary assets and liabilities. These forward contracts are intended to offset foreign currency gains or losses associated with the underlying monetary assets and liabilities and are recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. As of January 31, 2024, and 2023, the notional values of the non-designated hedges that we held to buy U.S. dollars in exchange for other currencies were $237 million and $235 million, respectively, and the notional values of the non-designated hedges that we held to sell U.S. dollars in exchange for other currencies were $11 million and $2 million, respectively.

It is our policy to present the derivatives gross on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Our foreign currency forward contracts are not subject to any credit contingent features or collateral requirements. We manage our exposure to counterparty risk by entering into contracts with a diversified group of major financial institutions and by actively monitoring outstanding positions.

Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year, which commenced in October 2022. The Senior Notes are unsecured obligations and rank equally with all existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of Workday. We may redeem the Senior Notes in whole or in part at any time or from time to time, at specified redemption dates and prices. In addition, upon the occurrence of certain change of control triggering events, we may be required to repurchase the Senior Notes under specified terms. The indenture governing the Senior Notes also includes covenants (including certain limited covenants restricting our ability to incur certain liens and enter into certain sale and leaseback transactions), events of default, and other customary provisions. As of January 31, 2024, we were in compliance with all covenants associated with the Senior Notes. We incurred debt discount and issuance costs of approximately $27 million in connection with the Senior Notes offering, which were allocated on a pro rata basis to the 2027 Notes, 2029 Notes, and 2032 Notes. The debt discount and issuance costs are amortized on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest rate method, to interest expense over the contractual term of each arrangement. The effective interest rates on the 2027 Notes, 2029 Notes, and 2032 Notes, which are calculated as the contractual interest rates adjusted for the debt discount and issuance costs, are 3.67%, 3.82%, and 3.90%, respectively. As of both January 31, 2024, and 2023, the total estimated fair value of the Senior Notes was $2.8 billion. The estimated fair values of the Senior Notes, which we have classified as Level 2 financial instruments, were determined based on quoted bid prices in an over-the-counter market on the last trading day of the reporting period. Credit Agreement In April 2022, we entered into the 2022 Credit Agreement which provides for a revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $1.0 billion. The 2022 Credit Agreement replaced our 2020 Credit Agreement, which provided for a term loan facility in an aggregate original principal amount of $750 million and a revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $750 million. Concurrently with entering into the 2022 Credit Agreement, we paid off the remaining principal balance of $694 million on the term loan under the 2020 Credit Agreement and terminated the revolving credit facility under the 2020 Credit Agreement which had no outstanding balance. The modification to our revolving credit facility and extinguishment of the term loan under the 2020 Credit Agreement did not have a material impact to our Consolidated Statements of Operations for fiscal 2023. As of January 31, 2024, and 2023, we had no outstanding revolving loans under the 2022 Credit Agreement. The revolving loans under the 2022 Credit Agreement may be borrowed, repaid, and reborrowed until April 6, 2027, at which time all amounts borrowed must be repaid. The revolving loans under the 2022 Credit Agreement will bear interest, at our option, at a base rate plus a margin of 0.000% to 0.500% or a SOFR plus 10 basis points, plus a margin of 0.750% to 1.500%, with such margin being determined based on our consolidated leverage ratio or debt rating. We are also obligated to pay an ongoing commitment fee on undrawn amounts. The 2022 Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, and affirmative and negative covenants, including a financial covenant, events of default, and indemnification provisions in favor of the lenders. The negative covenants include restrictions on the incurrence of liens and indebtedness, certain merger transactions, and other matters, all subject to certain exceptions. The financial covenant, based on a quarterly financial test, requires that we do not exceed a maximum leverage ratio of 3.50:1.00, subject to a step-up to 4.50:1.00 at our election for a certain period following an acquisition. As of January 31, 2024, and 2023, we were in compliance with all covenants included in the 2022 Credit Agreement. Convertible Senior Notes 2022 Notes In September 2017, we issued 0.25% convertible senior notes due October 1, 2022, with a principal amount of $1.15 billion. The 2022 Notes were unsecured, unsubordinated obligations, and interest was payable in cash in arrears at a fixed rate of 0.25% on April 1 and October 1 of each year. During the third quarter of fiscal 2023, the 2022 Notes were converted by note holders, and we repaid the $1.15 billion principal balance in cash. We also distributed approximately 0.6 million shares of our Class A common stock to note holders during fiscal 2023, which represented the conversion value in excess of the principal amount. Notes Hedges In connection with the issuance of the 2022 Notes, we entered into convertible note hedge transactions (“Purchased Options”) which gave us the option to purchase, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially identical to those in the 2022 Notes, approximately 7.8 million shares of our Class A common stock, respectively, for $147.10 per share. During the third quarter of fiscal 2023, we received approximately 0.6 million shares of our Class A common stock from the exercise of the Purchased Options, which offset the economic dilution to our Class A common stock upon conversion of the 2022 Notes. These shares were recorded as Treasury stock on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Purchased Options were separate transactions and were not part of the terms of the 2022 Notes, and the unexercised Purchased Options expired on October 1, 2022. Warrants In connection with the issuance of the 2022 Notes, we also entered into transactions to sell warrants (“Warrants”) to acquire, subject to anti-dilution adjustments, up to approximately 7.8 million shares of our Class A common stock over 60 scheduled trading days beginning in January 2023 at an exercise price of $213.96 per share. During the first quarter of fiscal 2024, the Warrants fully expired without exercise. Interest Expense on Debt The following table sets forth total interest expense recognized related to our debt (in millions): Year Ended January 31, 2024 2023 2022 Contractual interest expense $ 110 $ 95 $ 13 Interest cost related to amortization and write-off of debt discount and issuance costs 4 7 4 Total interest expense $ 114 $ 102 $ 17 |

These obligations consist of agreements to purchase goods and services that are enforceable and legally binding, and specify all significant terms and the approximate timing of the payments. For purchase obligations with cancellation provisions, the amounts included in the following table were limited to the non-cancelable portion of the agreement terms or the minimum cancellation fees. Future payments under purchase obligations with a remaining term in excess of one year as of January 31, 2024, were as follows (in millions): Third-Party Hosted Infrastructure Platform Obligations Other Purchase Obligations Fiscal Period: 2025 $ 180 $ 120 2026 314 94 2027 358 71 2028 414 70 2029 591 50 Thereafter — 58 Total $ 1,857 $ 463 Legal Matters We are a party to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. We make a provision for a liability relating to legal matters when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. These provisions are reviewed at least quarterly and adjusted to reflect the impacts of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other information and events pertaining to a particular matter. In our opinion, as of January 31, 2024, there was not at least a reasonable possibility that we had incurred a material loss, or a material loss in excess of a recorded accrual, with respect to such loss contingencies. |

Stockholders' Equity | Stockholders’ Equity Common Stock As of January 31, 2024, there were 211 million shares of Class A common stock, net of treasury stock, and 53 million shares of Class B common stock outstanding. The rights of the holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock are identical, except with respect to voting and conversion. Each share of Class A common stock is entitled to one vote per share and each share of Class B common stock is entitled to 10 votes per share. Each share of Class B common stock can be converted into a share of Class A common stock at any time at the option of the holder. All of our Class A and Class B shares will convert to a single class of common stock upon the date that is the first to occur of (i) October 17, 2032, (ii) such time as the shares of Class B common stock represent less than 9% of the outstanding Class A common stock and Class B common stock, (iii) nine months following the death of both Mr. Duffield and Mr. Bhusri, and (iv) the date on which the holders of a majority of the shares of Class B common stock elect to convert all shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock into a single class of common stock. Share Repurchase Programs In November 2022, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $500 million of our outstanding shares of Class A common stock. Under the 2022 Share Repurchase Program, we may repurchase shares of Class A common stock from time to time through open market purchases, in privately negotiated transactions, or by other means, including through the use of trading plans intended to qualify under Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act, in accordance with applicable securities laws and other restrictions. The timing and total amount of stock repurchases will depend upon business, economic, and market conditions, corporate and regulatory requirements, prevailing stock prices, and other considerations. The 2022 Share Repurchase Program has a term of 18 months, may be suspended or discontinued at any time, and does not obligate us to acquire any amount of Class A common stock. During fiscal 2024 and 2023, we repurchased approximately 1.8 million and 0.5 million shares of Class A common stock for approximately $423 million and $75 million, at an average price per share of $228.67 and $165.75, respectively. All repurchases were made in open market transactions. As of January 31, 2024, we were authorized to purchase a remaining $2 million of our outstanding shares of Class A common stock under the 2022 Share Repurchase Program. In February 2024, our Board of Directors authorized the 2024 Share Repurchase Program, under which we may repurchase up to an additional $500 million of our outstanding shares of Class A common stock. For further information, see Note 21, Subsequent Events . Employee Equity Plans In June 2022, our stockholders approved the 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (“2022 Plan”), with a reserve of 30 million shares for issuance. The 2022 Plan serves as the successor to our 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (“2012 Plan” and, together with the 2022 Plan, “Stock Plans”). Awards that are granted on or after the effective date of the 2022 Plan will be granted pursuant to and subject to the terms and provisions of the 2022 Plan. Prior awards granted under the 2012 Plan continue to be subject to the terms and provisions of the 2012 Plan. As of January 31, 2024, we had 21 million shares of Class A common stock available for future grants. In June 2022, our stockholders approved the ESPP. Under the ESPP, eligible employees are granted options to purchase shares at the lower of 85% of the fair market value of the stock at the time of grant or 85% of the fair market value at the time of exercise. Options to purchase shares are granted twice yearly on or about June 1 and December 1, and are exercisable on or about the succeeding November 30 and May 31, respectively. As of January 31, 2024, 4 million shares of Class A common stock were available for issuance under the ESPP. Restricted Stock Units The Stock Plans provide for the issuance of RSUs to employees and non-employees. RSUs generally vest over four years. RSU activity during fiscal 2024 was as follows (in thousands, except per share data): Number of Shares Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value Balance as of January 31, 2023 14,099 $ 206.38 RSUs granted 8,961 197.22 RSUs vested (6,489) 201.71 RSUs forfeited (1,551) 196.93 Balance as of January 31, 2024 15,020 203.94 The weighted-average grant date fair value of RSUs granted during fiscal 2024, 2023, and 2022 was $197.22, $200.98, and $259.61, respectively. The total fair value of RSUs vested as of the vesting dates during fiscal 2024, 2023, and 2022 was $1.4 billion, $977 million, and $1.6 billion, respectively. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, we modified the vesting date of all unvested RSU awards from the 15th to the 5th of each month. This change impacted awards vesting after December 31, 2022, and resulted in an acceleration of share-based compensation expense in fiscal 2023 of $28 million. As of January 31, 2024, there was a total of $2.3 billion in unrecognized compensation cost, adjusted for estimated forfeitures, related to unvested RSUs, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately three years. Market-Based Restricted Stock Units In December 2022, 0.3 million shares of market-based RSUs were granted to Mr. Eschenbach, in connection with his appointment as Co-CEO, that vest based on appreciation of the price of our Class A common stock over a multi-year period and upon continued service (“PVU Award”). We estimated the fair value of the PVU Award on the grant date using the Monte Carlo simulation model with the following assumptions: (i) expected volatility of 40%, (ii) risk-free interest rate of 4%, and (iii) total performance period of six years. The weighted-average grant date fair value of the PVU Award was $124.80 per share. We recognize expense for the PVU Award over the requisite service period of five years using the accelerated attribution method. Provided that the requisite service is rendered, the total fair value of the PVU Award at the date of grant is recognized as compensation expense even if the market condition is not achieved. However, the number of shares that ultimately vest can vary significantly with the achievement of the specified market criteria. As of January 31, 2024, there was a total of $19 million in unrecognized compensation cost related to the PVU Award, which is expected to be recognized over approximately four years. Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units During fiscal 2022, 0.4 million shares of PRSUs were granted to employees below the level of vice president that included both service conditions and performance conditions related to company-wide goals. These performance conditions were met and the PRSUs vested on March 15, 2022. We did not grant any company-wide PRSUs in fiscal 2024 or 2023. Stock Options The Stock Plans provide for the issuance of incentive and nonstatutory stock options to employees and non-employees. Stock options issued under the Stock Plans generally are exercisable for periods not to exceed ten years and generally vest over five years. Stock option activity during fiscal 2024 was as follows (in thousands, except aggregate intrinsic value, which is reflected in millions, and per share data): Outstanding Stock Options Weighted-Average Exercise Price Aggregate Intrinsic Value Balance as of January 31, 2023 115 $ 30.36 $ 17 Stock options exercised (27) 34.10 Stock options canceled — — Balance as of January 31, 2024 88 29.20 23 Vested and expected to vest as of January 31, 2024 88 29.20 23 Exercisable as of January 31, 2024 88 29.20 23 As of January 31, 2024, all stock options were fully vested with no remaining unrecognized compensation cost. The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during fiscal 2024, 2023, and 2022 was $5 million, $41 million, and $209 million, respectively. The intrinsic value is the difference between the current fair value of the stock and the exercise price of the stock option. As of January 31, 2024, stock options have a weighted-average remaining contractual life of approximately four years. Employee Stock Purchase Plan For fiscal 2024, approximately 1 million shares of Class A common shares were purchased under the ESPP at a weighted-average price of $159.64 per share, resulting in cash proceeds of $176 million. The fair value of stock purchase rights granted under the ESPP was estimated using the following assumptions: Year Ended January 31, 2024 2023 2022 Expected volatility 31.5% - 33.2% 46.2% - 48.5% 30.4% - 41.5% Expected term (in years) 0.5 0.5 0.5 Risk-free interest rate 5.33% - 5.44% 1.63% - 4.65% 0.04% - 0.10% Dividend yield —% —% —% Grant date fair value per share $215.31 - $272.92 $156.56 - $169.48 $225.70 - $260.86 |

Transaction Price Allocated to the Remaining Performance Obligations As of January 31, 2024, approximately $20.9 billion of revenues are expected to be recognized from remaining performance obligations for subscription contracts. We expect to recognize revenues on approximately $6.6 billion and $11.7 billion of these remaining performance obligations over the next 12 and 24 months, respectively, with the balance recognized thereafter. Revenues from remaining performance obligations for professional services contracts as of January 31, 2024, were not material. |

Significant components of our deferred tax assets and liabilities were as follows (in millions): As of January 31, 2024 2023 Deferred tax assets: Unearned revenue $ 16 $ 11 Other reserves and accruals 47 61 Tax attributes carryforward 1,431 1,587 Capitalized research and development expense 367 255 Property and equipment — 30 Share-based compensation 69 75 Intangibles 483 503 Operating lease liabilities 69 63 Other 16 15 Total deferred tax assets 2,498 2,600 Valuation allowance (1,182) (2,358) Deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowance 1,316 242 Deferred tax liabilities: Deferred commissions (145) (127) Operating lease right-of-use assets (62) (57) Property and equipment (13) — Other (33) (47) Total deferred tax liabilities (253) (231) Net deferred tax assets $ 1,063 $ 11 We periodically evaluate the realizability of our deferred tax assets based on all available evidence, both positive and negative. Prior to fiscal 2024, we considered global cumulative losses as a significant piece of negative evidence. During fiscal 2024, we recognized cumulative earnings on a global basis and were profitable in the U.S. Our ability to sustain and grow our profitability is supported by the continued positive operating performance in the U.S. We also considered forecasts of future taxable income and evaluated the utilization of tax attributes before their expiration. After considering these factors, we determined that the positive evidence outweighed the negative evidence and concluded that it was more likely than not that the majority of U.S. deferred tax assets were realizable. As a result, we released the valuation allowance against all U.S. federal deferred tax assets and state deferred tax assets, excluding certain state tax credits. The remaining valuation allowance of $1.2 billion as of January 31, 2024, was primarily related to tax credits in certain state jurisdictions and net operating loss in certain foreign jurisdictions. We will continue to evaluate the need for valuation allowances for our deferred tax assets. The valuation allowance on our net deferred tax assets decreased by $1.2 billion during fiscal 2024, primarily due to the release of the U.S. federal and state valuation allowance discussed above. The valuation allowance increased by $116 million during fiscal 2023 primarily due to an increase in deferred tax assets on amortization of intangibles from business combinations and capitalized research and development expenditures and credits, which were partially offset by the utilization of net operating losses. As of January 31, 2024, we had approximately $1.7 billion of federal, $1.9 billion of state, and $3.5 billion of foreign net operating loss and other tax attributes carryforwards available to offset future taxable income. If not utilized, the pre-fiscal 2018 federal and the state net operating loss carryforwards expire in varying amounts between fiscal 2025 and 2042. The federal net operating losses generated in and after fiscal 2018 and the foreign net operating losses and other tax attributes do not expire and may be carried forward indefinitely. We also had approximately $387 million of federal and $345 million of California research and development tax credit carryforwards as of January 31, 2024. The federal credits expire in varying amounts between fiscal 2025 and 2044. The California research credits do not expire and may be carried forward indefinitely. Our ability to utilize the net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards in the future may be subject to substantial restrictions in the event of past or future ownership changes as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and similar state tax law. We intend to permanently reinvest any future earnings in our foreign operations unless such earnings are subject to U.S. federal income taxes. As of January 31, 2024, we estimate any such hypothetical foreign withholding tax expense to be immaterial to our financial statements. A reconciliation of the gross unrecognized tax benefit is as follows (in millions): Year Ended January 31, 2024 2023 2022 Unrecognized tax benefits at the beginning of the period $ 196 $ 174 $ 160 Additions for tax positions taken in prior years 30 1 — Reductions for tax positions taken in prior years — — (1) Additions for tax positions related to the current year 27 21 15 Unrecognized tax benefits at the end of the period $ 253 $ 196 $ 174 Our policy is to include interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within our provision for income taxes. We did not accrue any material interest expense or penalties during fiscal 2024, 2023, or 2022. Of the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits of $253 million, $125 million, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate as of January 31, 2024. We file federal, state, and foreign income tax returns in jurisdictions with varying statutes of limitations. Due to our net operating loss carryforwards, our income tax returns generally remain subject to examination by federal and most state and foreign tax authorities. |

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
Net Income (Loss) Per Share | Net Income (Loss) Per Share Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, net of treasury stock. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by giving effect to all potentially dilutive shares of common stock, including our convertible senior notes, outstanding warrants related to the issuance of the convertible senior notes, and outstanding share-based awards consisting primarily of unvested RSUs and ESPP obligations. We determine the dilutive effect of outstanding share-based awards and warrants using the treasury stock method, and the dilutive effect of shares underlying our convertible senior notes using the if-converted method. The net income (loss) per share is allocated based on the contractual participation rights of the Class A common shares and Class B common shares as if the income (loss) for the period had been distributed. As the liquidation and dividend rights are identical, the net income (loss) is allocated on a proportionate basis. The computation of the diluted net income per share of Class A common stock assumes the conversion of our Class B common stock to Class A common stock, while the diluted net income (loss) per share of Class B common stock does not assume the conversion of those shares. Basic and diluted net loss per share was the same for fiscal 2023, as the inclusion of potentially outstanding weighted-average shares of common stock would have been anti-dilutive due to the incurrence of net loss during the period. The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share (in millions, except number of shares, which are reflected in thousands, and per share data): Year Ended January 31, 2024 2023 2022 Class A Class B Class A Class B Class A Class B Net income (loss) per share, basic: Numerator: Net income (loss) $ 1,094 $ 287 $ (288) $ (79) $ 22 $ 7 Denominator: Weighted-average shares outstanding, basic 207,001 54,343 199,805 55,014 189,864 57,385 Net income (loss) per share, basic $ 5.28 $ 5.28 $ (1.44) $ (1.44) $ 0.12 $ 0.12 Net income (loss) per share, diluted: Numerator: Net income (loss) $ 1,094 $ 287 $ (288) $ (79) $ 22 $ 7 Reallocation of net income as a result of conversion of Class B to Class A common stock 287 — — — 7 — Reallocation of net income to Class B common stock — (4) — — — — Net income (loss) for diluted calculation 1,381 283 (288) (79) 29 7 Denominator: Weighted-average shares outstanding, basic 207,001 54,343 199,805 55,014 189,864 57,385 Conversion of Class B to Class A common stock 54,343 — — — 57,385 — Dilutive effect of share-based awards 3,941 — — — 5,549 — Dilutive effect of warrants related to the issuance of convertible senior notes — — — — 1,234 — Weighted-average shares outstanding, diluted 265,285 54,343 199,805 55,014 254,032 57,385 Net income (loss) per share, diluted $ 5.21 $ 5.21 $ (1.44) $ (1.44) $ 0.12 $ 0.12 The computation of diluted net income (loss) per share does not include the effect of the following potentially outstanding weighted-average shares of common stock.

Subsequent Events [Abstract] | |
Subsequent Event | Subsequent Events HiredScore, Inc. In February 2024, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire HiredScore, Inc. a provider of AI powered talent orchestration solutions. The transaction is expected to close during the first quarter of fiscal 2025, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including required regulatory approval. 2024 Share Repurchase Program In February 2024, our Board of Directors authorized the 2024 Share Repurchase Program, under which we may purchase up to $500 million of our outstanding shares of Class A common stock. We may repurchase shares of Class A common stock from time to time through open market purchases, in privately negotiated transactions or by other means, including through the use of trading plans intended to qualify under Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, in accordance with applicable securities laws and other restrictions. The timing and total amount of stock repurchases will depend on business, economic, and market conditions, corporate and regulatory requirements, prevailing stock prices, and other considerations. The 2024 Share Repurchase Program has a term of 18 months, may be suspended or discontinued at any time, and does not obligate us to acquire any amount of Class A common stock. Tax Withholding Method on Employee Equity Awards Beginning in April 2024, we intend to fund withholding taxes due on employee equity awards by net share withholding, rather than our current approach of selling shares of our common stock on our employees’ behalf to cover taxes upon vesting of such awards. We expect this net share withholding approach will increase our financing cash outflows and reduce the number of shares that will be issued from our equity plans. However, we are unable to estimate the cash outflows and number of shares that will be withheld since they will depend on the market price of our Class A common stock. |

Fiscal Year | Fiscal Year Our fiscal year ends on January 31. References to fiscal 2024, for example, refer to the fiscal year ended January 31, 2024. |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and include the results of Workday, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Certain prior period amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make certain estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates, judgments, and assumptions include, but are not limited to, the identification of distinct performance obligations for revenue recognition, the determination of the period of benefit for deferred commissions, the realizability of deferred tax assets, the measurement of uncertain tax positions, the fair value and useful lives of assets acquired and liabilities assumed through business combinations, and the valuation of non-marketable equity investments. Actual results could differ from those estimates, judgments, and assumptions, and such differences could be material to our consolidated financial statements. In February 2023, we completed an assessment of the useful lives of our data center equipment, including servers, network equipment, and integrated complete server and network racks. Due to advances in technology, as well as investments in software that increased efficiencies in how we operate our data center equipment, we determined we should increase the estimated useful lives of data center equipment from 3 years to 5 years. This change in accounting estimate was effective beginning fiscal 2024. Based on the carrying amount of data center equipment that was in-service as of January 31, 2023, this change decreased depreciation expense by $93 million for fiscal 2024. |
Segment Information | Segment Information We operate in one operating segment, cloud applications. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise where separate financial information is evaluated regularly by a chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and assessing performance. Our CODM allocates resources and assesses performance based upon discrete financial information at the consolidated level. For fiscal 2024, our co-chief executive officers together served as CODM for purposes of segment reporting. |
Revenue Recognition and Deferred Commissions | Revenue Recognition We derive our revenues from subscription services and professional services. Revenues are recognized when control of these services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to receive in exchange for services rendered. Revenues are recognized net of any taxes collected from customers which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities. We determine revenue recognition through the following steps: • Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer; • Identification of the performance obligations in the contract; • Determination of the transaction price; • Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and • Recognition of revenues when, or as, we satisfy a performance obligation. Subscription Services Revenues Subscription services revenues primarily consist of fees that provide customers access to one or more of our cloud applications for financial management, spend management, human capital management, planning, and analytics, with routine customer support. Revenues are generally recognized on a ratable basis over the contract term beginning on the date that our service is made available to the customer. Our subscription contracts are generally three years or longer in length and are generally noncancelable. Professional Services Revenues Professional services revenues primarily consist of consulting fees for deployment and optimization services, as well as training. Our consulting contracts are billed on a time and materials basis or a fixed price basis. For contracts billed on a time and materials basis, revenues are recognized over time as the professional services are performed. For contracts billed on a fixed price basis, revenues are recognized over time based on the proportion of the professional services performed. Contracts with Multiple Performance Obligations Some of our contracts with customers contain multiple performance obligations. For these contracts, we account for individual performance obligations separately if they are distinct. The transaction price is allocated to the separate performance obligations on a relative standalone selling price basis. We determine the standalone selling prices based on our overall pricing objectives, taking into consideration market conditions and other factors, including the value of our contracts, the cloud applications sold, customer demographics, geographic locations, and the number and types of users within our contracts. We use a range of amounts to estimate SSP for both subscription and professional services sold together in a contract to determine whether there is a discount to be allocated based on the relative SSP of the performance obligations. We use historical sales transaction data, among other factors, to determine the SSP for each distinct performance obligation. Our SSP ranges are reassessed on a periodic basis or when facts and circumstances change. Changes in SSP for our services can evolve over time due to changes in our pricing practices that are influenced by market competition, changes in demand for our services, and other economic factors. As our go-to-market strategies evolve, we may modify our pricing practices in the future, which could result in changes to SSP and may therefore impact revenue recognized in our consolidated financial statements. Contract Balances We generally invoice our customers annually in advance for our subscription services and in arrears for our professional services. Payment terms and conditions vary by contract type and by customer, and payment is generally required within 30 days from date of invoicing. The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing customers, and these timing differences result in trade receivables, contract assets, or contract liabilities (unearned revenue) on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Trade Receivables and Contract Assets We record a trade receivable when an unconditional right to consideration exists, such that only the passage of time is required before payment of consideration is due. A contract asset is recognized when a conditional right to consideration exists and We maintain an allowance for credit losses for expected uncollectible trade receivables and Unearned Revenue Contract liabilities consist of unearned revenue, which is recorded when we invoice in advance of revenues being recognized from our contracts. Unearned revenue that is anticipated to be recognized during the succeeding twelve-month period is recorded as current unearned revenue and the remaining portion is recorded as noncurrent. Deferred Commissions |
Fair Value Measurement | Fair Value Measurement We measure our cash equivalents, marketable securities, and foreign currency derivative contracts at fair value at each reporting period using a fair value hierarchy that requires that we maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. In addition, we measure our non-marketable equity investments for which there has been an impairment or an observable price change from an orderly transaction for identical or similar investments of the same issuer at fair value. A financial instrument’s classification within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Three levels of inputs may be used to measure fair value: Level 1 — Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. Level 2 — Other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace. Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase. Our cash equivalents primarily consist of investments in U.S. treasury securities, U.S. agency obligations, corporate bonds, commercial paper, and money market funds. |
Debt Securities and Marketable Equity Investments | Debt Securities Debt securities primarily consist of investments in U.S. treasury securities, U.S. agency obligations, corporate bonds, and commercial paper. We classify our debt securities as available-for-sale at the time of purchase and reevaluate such classification as of each balance sheet date. We consider all debt securities as funds available for use in current operations, including those with maturity dates beyond one year, and therefore classify these securities as current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Debt securities included in Marketable securities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets consist of securities with original maturities at the time of purchase greater than three months, and the remaining securities are included in Cash and cash equivalents. Realized gains or losses from the sales of debt securities are based on the specific identification method. When the fair value of a debt security is below its amortized cost, the amortized cost should be written down to its fair value if (i) it is more likely than not that management will be required to sell the impaired security before recovery of its amortized basis or (ii) management has the intention to sell the security. If neither of these conditions are met, we must determine whether the impairment is due to credit losses. To determine the amount of credit losses, we compare the present value of the expected cash flows of the security, derived by taking into account the issuer’s credit ratings and remaining payment terms, with its amortized cost basis. The amount of impairment recognized is limited to the excess of the amortized cost over the fair value of the security. An allowance for credit losses for the excess of amortized cost over the expected cash flows is recorded in Other income (expense), net on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Non-credit related losses are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”). If quoted prices for identical instruments are available in an active market, debt securities are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. If quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets are not available, fair values are estimated using quoted prices of similar instruments and are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. To date, all of our debt securities can be valued using one of these two methodologies. Marketable Equity Investments |
Equity Investments | Equity Investments |
Non-Marketable Equity Investments Measured Using the Measurement Alternative | Non-Marketable Equity Investments Measured Using the Measurement Alternative |
Derivatives Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities | Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities We use derivative financial instruments to manage foreign currency exchange risk. Derivative instruments are measured at fair value and recorded as either an asset or liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value are accounted for depending on the use of the derivative and whether it is designated and qualifies for hedge accounting. For derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges (“cash flow hedges”), which we use to hedge a portion of our forecasted foreign currency revenue and expense transactions, the gains or losses are recorded in AOCI on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and subsequently reclassified to the same line item as the hedged transaction on the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the same period that the hedged transaction affects earnings. For derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments (“non-designated hedges”), which we use to hedge a portion of our net outstanding monetary assets and liabilities, the gains or losses are recorded in Other income (expense), net on the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the period incurred. Cash flows from the settlement of forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges and non-designated hedges are classified as operating activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Our foreign currency contracts are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy because the valuation inputs are based on quoted prices and market observable data of similar instruments in active markets, such as currency spot and forward rates. |
Property and Equipment | Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation, except for land which is stated at cost. Depreciation is recorded using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as shown in the table below. Property and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Computers, equipment, and software 2 - 10 years Buildings 10 - 60 years Leasehold improvements shorter of the related lease term or ten years Furniture, fixtures, and transportation equipment 5 - 12 years Land improvements 15 years |
Business Combinations | Business Combinations We allocate the purchase consideration of acquired companies to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition date, with the excess recorded to goodwill. Our estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. During the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, we may record adjustments to the fair value of these tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including uncertain tax positions and tax-related valuation allowances, with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the fair value of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to the Consolidated Statements of Operations. In the event that we acquire a company in which we previously held an equity interest, the difference between the fair value of the shares as of the date of the acquisition and the carrying value of the equity investment is recorded as a non-cash gain or loss and recorded within Other income (expense), net on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. |
Goodwill and Acquisition-Related Intangible Assets | Goodwill and Acquisition-Related Intangible Assets |
Leases | Leases We have entered into operating lease agreements for our office space, data centers, and other property and equipment. Operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease term. Right-of-use assets also include adjustments related to prepaid or deferred lease payments and lease incentives. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit interest rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of lease payments. |
Treasury Stock | Treasury Stock Treasury stock is accounted for using the cost method and recorded as a reduction to Stockholders’ equity on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Incremental direct costs to purchase treasury stock are included in the cost of the shares acquired. |
Advertising Expenses | Advertising Expenses |
Share-Based Compensation | Share-Based Compensation We measure and recognize compensation expense for share-based awards issued to employees and non-employees, primarily including RSUs and purchases under the Amended and Restated 2012 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”), on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. For RSUs, fair value is based on the closing price of our common stock on the grant date. Compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. The requisite service period of the awards is generally the same as the vesting period. For shares issued under the ESPP, fair value is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the offering period. We determine the assumptions for the option-pricing model as follows: • Risk-Free Interest Rate. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the date closest to the grant date for zero-coupon U.S. Treasury notes with maturities approximately equal to the expected term of the ESPP purchase rights. • Expected Term. The expected term represents the period that our ESPP is expected to be outstanding. The expected term for the ESPP approximates the offering period. • Volatility. The volatility is based on a blend of historical volatility and implied volatility of our common stock. Implied volatility is based on market traded options of our common stock. • Dividend Yield. The dividend yield is assumed to be zero as we have not paid and do not expect to pay dividends. |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes We record a provision for (benefit from) income taxes for the anticipated tax consequences of the reported results of operations using the asset and liability method. Under this method, we recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities, as well as for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the tax rates that are expected to apply to taxable income for the years in which those tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the net amount that is more likely than not to be realized. In the event that we change our determination as to the amount of deferred tax assets that can be realized, we will adjust our valuation allowance with a corresponding impact to the provision for (benefit from) income taxes in the period in which such determination is made. We recognize the tax benefit of an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the position is sustainable upon examination by the taxing authority, based on the technical merits. The tax benefit recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit which is greater than 50% likely to be realized upon settlement with the taxing authority. To the extent the assessment of such tax position changes, such difference will affect the provision for (benefit from) income taxes in the period in which we make the determination. We recognize interest accrued and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for (benefit from) income taxes. |
Warranties and Indemnification | Warranties and Indemnification Our cloud applications are generally warranted to perform materially in accordance with our online documentation under normal use and circumstances. Additionally, our contracts generally include provisions for indemnifying customers against liabilities if use of our cloud applications infringe a third party’s intellectual property rights. We may also incur liabilities if we breach the security, privacy, and/or confidentiality obligations in our contracts. To date, we have not incurred any material costs, and we have not accrued any liabilities in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, as a result of these obligations. In our standard agreements with customers, we commit to defined levels of service availability and performance and, under certain circumstances, permit customers to receive credits in the event that we fail to meet those levels. In the event our failure to meet those levels triggers a termination right for a customer, we permit a terminating customer to receive a refund of prepaid amounts related to unused subscription services. To date, we have not experienced any significant failures to meet defined levels of availability and performance and, as a result, we have not accrued any liabilities related to these agreements on the consolidated financial statements. |

Concentrations of Risk and Significant Customers | Concentrations of Risk and Significant Customers Our financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, debt securities, derivative instruments, and trade and other receivables. Our deposits exceed federally insured limits. No customer individually accounted for more than 10% of trade and other receivables, net as of January 31, 2024, or 2023. No customer individually accounted for more than 10% of total revenues during fiscal 2024, 2023, or 2022. Other than the United States, no country individually accounted for more than 10% of total revenues during fiscal 2024, 2023, or 2022. In order to reduce the risk of disruption of our cloud applications, we have established data centers in various geographic regions. We serve our customers and users from data center facilities operated by third parties, located in North America and Europe. We have internal procedures to restore services in the event of disruption at one of our data center facilities. Even with these procedures for disaster recovery in place, our cloud applications could be significantly interrupted during the implementation of the procedures to restore services. In addition, we rely upon third-party hosted infrastructure partners globally, including AWS, Google LLC, and Microsoft Corporation, to serve customers and operate certain aspects of our services. Given this, any disruption of or interference at our hosted infrastructure partners may impact our operations and our business could be adversely impacted. |
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements | Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures , which requires disclosure of incremental segment information on an annual and interim basis.
