Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition The Company, through its operating subsidiaries, is one of the world’s largest manufacturers, marketers and distributors of household batteries, specialty batteries and lighting products, and is a leading designer and marketer of automotive fragrance, appearance, performance and air conditioning recharge products. The Company distributes its products to consumers through numerous retail locations worldwide, including mass merchandisers and warehouse clubs, food, drug and convenience stores, electronics specialty stores and department stores, hardware and automotive centers, e-commerce and military stores. The Company sells to its customers through a combination of a direct sales force and exclusive and non-exclusive third-party distributors and wholesalers. The Company’s revenue is primarily generated from the sale of finished product to customers. Sales predominantly contain a single delivery element, or performance obligation, and revenue is recognized at a single point in time when title, ownership and risk of loss pass to the customer. This typically occurs when finished goods are delivered to the customer or when finished goods are picked up by a customer or customer’s carrier, depending on contract terms. Supplemental product and market information is presented below for revenues from external customers for the quarters and nine months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020: For the Quarter Ended June 30, For the Nine Months Ended June 30, Net Sales 2021 2020 2021 2020 Batteries $ 482.9 $ 470.7 $ 1,701.8 $ 1,520.3 Auto Care 206.4 161.4 447.1 370.3 Lights, Licensing and Other 32.5 25.9 106.6 91.2 Total Net Sales $ 721.8 $ 658.0 $ 2,255.5 $ 1,981.8 For the Quarter Ended June 30, For the Nine Months Ended June 30, 2021 2020 2021 2020 Net Sales North America $ 465.5 $ 443.4 $ 1,401.7 $ 1,257.4 Latin America 59.7 48.5 192.1 158.9 Americas 525.2 491.9 1,593.8 1,416.3 Modern Markets 112.1 96.0 407.0 339.9 Developing Markets 51.0 42.5 157.7 139.9 Distributors Markets 33.5 27.6 97.0 85.7 International 196.6 166.1 661.7 565.5 Total Net Sales $ 721.8 $ 658.0 $ 2,255.5 $ 1,981.8

Business Combinations [Abstract]
Acquisition	Acquisitions Formulations Acquisition - During the first quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company entered into an agreement with Green Global Holdings, LLC to acquire a North Carolina-based company that specializes in developing formulations for cleaning tasks (Formulations Acquisition). On December 1, 2020, the Formulations Acquisition was completed for a cash purchase price of $51.2, subject to post-closing working capital adjustments. The product formulations are both sold to customers directly and licensed to manufacturers. This acquisition is expected to bring significant innovation capabilities in formulations to the Company. The acquisition is being accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting which requires assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date. The preliminary fair value of proprietary technology acquired and customer relationships were determined by applying the multi-period excess earnings method under the income approach. The following table outlines the preliminary purchase price allocation as of the date of acquisition: Trade receivables $ 1.8 Inventories 0.1 Goodwill 29.2 Other intangible assets, net 20.5 Operating lease assets 0.5 Accounts payable (0.2) Current operating lease liabilities (0.2) Other current liabilities (0.2) Operating lease liabilities (0.3) Net assets acquired $ 51.2 The table below identifies the initial estimate for purchased intangible assets of $20.5: Total Weighted Average Useful Lives Proprietary technology $ 19.5 7 Customer relationships 1.0 15 Total Other intangible assets, net $ 20.5 The Company will continue to review its allocation of fair value to assets acquired and liabilities assumed for this acquisition, including income tax considerations. The goodwill acquired in this acquisition is attributable to the value the Company expects to achieve from the significant innovation capabilities in formulations that the acquired company will bring to our organization, as well as the workforce acquired. The goodwill has been allocated to the Americas segment. The goodwill is deductible for tax purposes. In conjunction with the acquisition, the Company entered into incentive compensation agreements with certain key personnel. These agreements allow for potential earn out payments of up to $35.0 based on the achievement of a combination of financial and product development and commercialization performance targets and continued employment with the Company. These agreements are not considered a component of the acquisition purchase price but rather as employee compensation arrangements. The Company has recognized $2.3 of the total potential payments based on estimated earn out achieved at June 30, 2021. This was recorded on the Consolidated (Condensed) Statement of Earnings and Comprehensive Income in Selling, general and administrative expense and in Other current liabilities on the Consolidated (Condensed) Balance Sheet. FDK Indonesia Acquisition - During fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company entered into an agreement with FDK Corporation to acquire its subsidiary PT FDK Indonesia, a battery manufacturing facility (FDK Indonesia Acquisition). On October 1, 2020, the Company completed the acquisition for a contractual purchase price of $18.2. After contractual and working capital adjustments, the Company initially paid cash of $16.9 and paid $0.7 for a working capital adjustment during the nine months ending June 30, 2021. The acquisition of the FDK Indonesia facility increased the Company's alkaline battery production capacity and allows for the avoidance of future planned capital expenditures. The FDK Indonesia Acquisition is being accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting which requires assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date. The fair value of the Property, plant and equipment were estimated using the cost approach. After determining the fair value of the real property acquired, allocation of purchase price for the acquisition resulted in no intangible assets or goodwill. The following table outlines the purchase price allocation as of the date of acquisition: Cash and cash equivalents $ 1.7 Trade receivables 4.3 Inventories 8.3 Other current assets 0.6 Property, plant and equipment, net 19.6 Other assets 0.7 Accounts payable (10.0) Other current liabilities (1.2) Other liabilities (6.4) Net assets acquired $ 17.6 The Company will continue to review its allocation of fair value to assets acquired and liabilities assumed for this acquisition, including income tax considerations. Custom Accessories Europe Acquisition - On January 31, 2020, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement to acquire Custom Accessories Europe Group International Limited (CAE) for $1.9 in cash. CAE is a well-established marketer of branded automotive accessories throughout the United Kingdom and Europe. CAE partners with major automotive accessory brand owners to identify and develop complimentary brand extensions supported by sourcing and distribution activities. The purchase agreement has earn out payments that could increase the purchase price up to $9.9 if certain financial metrics are achieved over the next three years. During the first quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company determined that it is likely the full earn out payment will be met over the next three years and increased the purchase price to $9.9. The Company has allocated the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, resulting in identified intangible assets for vendor relationships of approximately $8.0, which will be amortized over the three-year lives of the vendor agreements. During the second quarter of fiscal 2021, CAE achieved the next earn out threshold under the share purchase agreement, which resulted in a cash payment of $3.9. Subsequent to June 30, 2021, it was determined that CAE achieved the full earn out payment under the agreement. The Company expects to make the final earn out payment of $2.9 during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segments	Segments Operations for Energizer are currently managed via two major geographic reportable segments: Americas and International. Segment performance is evaluated based on segment operating profit, exclusive of general corporate expenses, share-based compensation costs, acquisition and integration activities, acquisition earn out, amortization costs, research & development costs and other items determined to be corporate in nature. Financial items, such as interest income and expense and loss on extinguishment of debt are managed on a global basis at the corporate level. The exclusion of substantially all acquisition and integration costs from segment results reflects management’s view on how it evaluates segment performance. Energizer’s operating model includes a combination of standalone and shared business functions between the geographic segments, varying by country and region of the world. Shared functions include, but are not limited to, IT, procurement and finance. Energizer applies a fully allocated cost basis, in which shared business functions are allocated between segments. Such allocations are estimates, and do not represent the costs of such services if performed on a standalone basis.

On October 16, 2020, the Company used the proceeds from the sale of the 2029 Notes to fund the redemption of all the $750.0 Senior Notes due in 2026 at 6.375%. The Company paid a redemption premium of $55.9 in the first fiscal quarter of 2021 related to this redemption. On December 22, 2020, the Company entered in a Credit Agreement which provided for a 5-year $400 revolving credit facility (2020 Revolving Facility) and a $550.0 Term Loan due December 2027. The $550.0 of proceeds were used to pay down the remaining balances on the Term Loan A facility due in 2022, Term Loan B facility due in 2025 and the amounts outstanding on the existing 2018 Revolving Credit Facility. The pay down of the Term Loan A and B facilities were deemed to be extinguishments and the Company wrote-off $5.7 of deferred financing fees during the first fiscal quarter of 2021. On January 7, 2021, the Company amended the Credit Agreement and borrowed an incremental $650.0 on the Term Loan. The Company utilized the proceeds to fund the redemption of the Company’s outstanding $600.0 7.750% Senior Notes due 2027 (2027 Notes) at a redemption price equal to 110.965% of the aggregate principal amount. As a result, the Company paid a redemption premium of $66.6 during the quarter ended March 31, 2021. The Company also wrote off deferred financings fees associated with the 2027 Notes resulting in a total loss on extinguishment recognized in the quarter ended March 31, 2021 of $70.0. On June 23, 2021, the Company completed a bond offering for €650 Senior Notes due in 2029 at 3.50% (2029 EUR Notes). Also on June 23, 2021, the proceeds from the offering, combined with cash on hand, were used to satisfy its outstanding legal obligation on the €650 Senior Notes due in 2026 at 4.625% (2026 EUR Notes). The Company used approximately $45.9 of cash on hand to fund the redemption costs, accrued interest and fees associated with the redemption of the 2026 EUR Notes and issuance of the 2029 EUR Notes. The Company paid a redemption premium of $18.6 during the quarter ended June 30, 2021. The Company also wrote off deferred financing and interest and fees associated with the 2026 EUR Notes resulting in a total loss on extinguishment recognized in the quarter ended June 30, 2021 of $27.6. Debt issuances fees paid associated with the Credit Agreement, Term Loans and 2029 EUR Notes were $27.6 in the nine months ended June 30, 2021. The 2020 Revolving Facility replaced the previously outstanding 2018 Revolving Facility. Borrowings under the Term Loan require quarterly principal payments at a rate of 0.25% of the original principal balance, or $3.0. Borrowings under the 2020 Revolving Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the option of the Company, LIBOR or the Base Rate (as defined) plus the applicable margin. The Term Loan bears interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the option of the Company, LIBOR or Base Rate (as defined) plus the applicable margin. The new Credit Agreement also contains customary affirmative and restrictive covenants. As of June 30, 2021, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $103.0 under the 2020 Revolving Facility and $7.7 of outstanding letters of credit. Taking into account outstanding letters of credit, $289.3 remained available under the 2020 Revolving Facility as of June 30, 2021. As of June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, the Company's weighted average interest rate on short-term borrowings was 2.4% and 6.7%, respectively. Interest Rate Swaps - In March 2017, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with one major financial institution that fixed the variable benchmark component (LIBOR) on $200.0 of Energizer's variable rate debt through June 2022 at an interest rate of 2.03%. In February 2018, the Company entered into a forward starting interest rate swap with an effective date of October 1, 2018 with one major financial institution that fixed the variable benchmark component (LIBOR) on additional variable rate debt at an interest rate of 2.47%. At the effective date, the swap had a notional value of $400.0. Beginning April 1, 2019, the notional amount decreased $50.0 each quarter, and continued to decrease until its termination date of December 31, 2020. In conjunction with the term loan refinance in December 2020, the Company terminated both of these interest rate swaps and entered into a new interest rate swap with an effective date of December 22, 2020, that fixed the variable benchmark component (LIBOR) at an interest rate of 0.95% on variable rate debt of $550.0. On January 22, 2021, the notional value increased to $700.0 and will stay at that value through December 22, 2024. The notional value will decrease by $100.0 on December 22, 2024 and by $100.0 each year thereafter until its termination date on December 22, 2027. Refer to Note 13, Financial Instruments and Risk Management, for additional information on the Company's interest rate swap transactions. Notes payable - The notes payable balance was $103.4 at June 30, 2021 and $3.8 at September 30, 2020. The June 30, 2021 balance was comprised of $103.0 of outstanding borrowings on the 2020 Revolving Facility as well as $0.4 of other borrowings, including those related to foreign affiliates. The September 30, 2020 balance was comprised of other borrowings, including those related to foreign affiliates. Debt Covenants - The agreements governing the Company's debt contain certain customary representations and warranties, affirmative, negative and financial covenants and provisions relating to events of default. If the Company fails to comply with these covenants or with other requirements of these debt agreements, the lenders may have the right to accelerate the maturity of the debt. Acceleration under one of these debt agreements would trigger cross defaults to other borrowings. As of June 30, 2021, the Company was in compliance with the provisions and covenants associated with its debt agreements. The counterparties to long-term committed borrowings consist of a number of major financial institutions. The Company consistently monitors positions with, and credit ratings of, counterparties both internally and by using outside ratings agencies. Debt Maturities - Aggregate maturities of long-term debt as of June 30, 2021 are as follows: Long-term debt One year $ 12.0 Two year 12.0 Three year 12.0 Four year 12.0 Five year 12.0 Thereafter 3,307.8 Total long-term debt payments due $ 3,367.8

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Financial Instruments and Risk Management	Financial Instruments and Risk Management The market risk inherent in the Company's operations creates potential earnings volatility arising from changes in currency rates, interest rates and commodity prices. The Company's policy allows derivatives to be used only for identifiable exposures and, therefore, the Company does not enter into hedges for trading or speculative purposes where the sole objective is to generate profits. Concentration of Credit Risk —The counterparties to derivative contracts consist of a number of major financial institutions and are generally institutions with which the Company maintains lines of credit. The Company does not enter into derivative contracts through brokers nor does it trade derivative contracts on any other exchange or over-the-counter markets. Risk of currency positions and mark-to-market valuation of positions are strictly monitored at all times. The Company continually monitors positions with, and credit ratings of, counterparties both internally and by using outside rating agencies. While nonperformance by these counterparties exposes Energizer to potential credit losses, such losses are not anticipated. In the ordinary course of business, the Company may enter into contractual arrangements (derivatives) to reduce its exposure to commodity price and foreign currency risks. The section below outlines the types of derivatives that existed at June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, as well as the Company's objectives and strategies for holding these derivative instruments. Commodity Price Risk —The Company uses raw materials that are subject to price volatility. At times, the Company uses hedging instruments to reduce exposure to variability in cash flows associated with future purchases of certain materials and commodities. Foreign Currency Risk —A significant portion of Energizer’s product cost is more closely tied to the U.S. dollar than to the local currencies in which the product is sold. As such, a weakening of currencies relative to the U.S. dollar results in margin declines unless mitigated through pricing actions, which are not always available due to the economic or competitive environment. Conversely, a strengthening of currencies relative to the U.S. dollar can improve margins. The primary currencies to which Energizer is exposed include the Euro, the British pound, the Canadian dollar and the Australian dollar. However, the Company also has significant exposures in many other currencies which, in the aggregate, may have a material impact on the Company's operations. Additionally, Energizer’s foreign subsidiaries enter into internal and external transactions that create nonfunctional currency balance sheet positions at the foreign subsidiary level. These exposures are generally the result of intercompany purchases, intercompany loans and, to a lesser extent, external purchases, and are revalued in the foreign subsidiary’s local currency at the end of each period. Changes in the value of the non-functional currency balance sheet positions in relation to the foreign subsidiary’s local currency results in a transaction gain or loss recorded in Other items, net on the Consolidated (Condensed) Statement of Earnings and Comprehensive Income. The primary currency to which Energizer’s foreign subsidiaries are exposed is the U.S. dollar. Interest Rate Risk —Energizer has interest rate risk with respect to interest expense on variable rate debt. At June 30, 2021, Energizer had variable rate debt outstanding of $1,300.0 under the 2020 Term Loan and the 2020 Revolving Facility. In March 2017, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement (2017 Interest rate swap) that fixed the variable benchmark component (LIBOR) on $200.0 of Energizer's variable rate debt through June 2022 at an interest rate of 2.03%. In February 2018, the Company entered into a forward starting interest rate swap (2018 Interest rate swap) with an effective date of October 1, 2018, that fixed the variable benchmark component (LIBOR) on additional variable rate debt of $400.0 at an interest rate of 2.47%. Beginning April 1, 2019, the notional amount decreased $50.0 each quarter until its termination date of December 31, 2020. In December 2020, the Company terminated both of these swap arrangements and entered into an interest rate swap (2020 Interest rate swap) with an effective date of December 22, 2020, that fixed the variable benchmark component (LIBOR) at an interest rate of 0.95% on variable rate debt of $550.0. The notional value increased to $700.0 on January 22, 2021 and will stay at that value through December 22, 2024. The notional value will decrease by $100.0 on December 22, 2024 and by $100.0 each year thereafter until its termination date on December 22, 2027. The notional value of the swap was $700.0 at June 30, 2021. Derivatives Designated as Cash Flow Hedging Relationships —The Company has entered into a series of forward currency contracts to hedge the cash flow uncertainty of the forecasted payment of inventory purchases due to short term currency fluctuations. Energizer’s foreign affiliates, which have the largest exposure to U.S. dollar purchases, have the Euro, the British pound, the Canadian dollar and the Australian dollar as their local currencies. These foreign currencies represent a significant portion of Energizer's foreign currency exposure. At June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, Energizer had an unrealized pre-tax loss of $1.6 and $4.9, respectively, on these forward currency contracts accounted for as cash flow hedges included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Consolidated (Condensed) Balance Sheets. Assuming foreign exchange rates versus the U.S. dollar remain at June 30, 2021 levels, over the next 12 months, $1.8 of the pre-tax loss included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss is expected to be recognized in earnings. Contract maturities for these hedges extend into fiscal year 2022. There were 64 open foreign currency contracts at June 30, 2021, with a total notional value of approximately $206. The Company has entered into hedging contracts on future zinc purchases to reduce exposure to variability in cash flows associated with price volatility. The contracts are determined to be cash flow hedges and qualify for hedge accounting. The contract maturities for these hedges extend into 2022. There were 12 open contracts at June 30, 2021, with a total notional value of approximately $18. The pre-tax gain recognized on the zinc contracts was $7.3 and $4.4 at June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, respectively, and was included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Consolidated (Condensed) Balance Sheet. The 2017 Interest rate swap was terminated early in December 2020 and resulted in a $5.6 loss, which was recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Consolidated (Condensed) Balance Sheet. This loss will be amortized into interest expense over the remainder of the interest payments associated with the Term Loan through June 2022, the original ending date of the 2017 Interest rate swap. The 2018 Interest rate swap was terminated in December 2020, which is consistent with the end of the original swap agreement. At June 30, 2021, Energizer recorded an unrealized pre-tax net gain of $9.8 on the 2020 Interest rate swap agreement, and at September 30, 2020, the Company recorded an unrealized pre-tax net loss of $7.3 on the 2017 and 2018 interest rate swap contracts, both of which were included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Consolidated (Condensed) Balance Sheet. Derivatives not Designated in Hedging Relationships —Energizer enters into foreign currency derivative contracts, which are not designated as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes, to hedge existing balance sheet exposures. Any gains or losses on these contracts are expected to be offset by corresponding exchange losses or gains on the underlying exposures, and as such are not subject to significant market risk. There were six open foreign currency derivative contracts which are not designated as cash flow hedges at June 30, 2021, with a total notional value of approximately $62. The following table provides the Company's estimated fair values as of June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, and the amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments classified as cash flow hedges for the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively: At June 30, 2021 For the Quarter Ended June 30, 2021 For the Nine Months Ended June 30, 2021 Derivatives designated as Cash Flow Hedging Relationships Estimated Fair Value (Liability)/Asset (1) (Loss)/Gain Recognized in OCI (2) (Loss)/Gain Reclassified From OCI into Income (3)(4) (Loss)/Gain Recognized in OCI (2) (Loss)/Gain Reclassified From OCI into Income (3) (4) Foreign currency contracts $ (1.6) $ (0.4) $ (3.0) $ (5.7) $ (9.0) Interest rate swaps contracts 9.8 (7.9) (1.8) 8.8 (4.9) Zinc contracts 7.3 0.8 2.0 4.6 1.7 Total $ 15.5 $ (7.5) $ (2.8) $ 7.7 $ (12.2) At September 30, 2020 For the Quarter Ended June 30, 2020 For the Nine Months Ended June 30, 2020 Derivatives designated as Cash Flow Hedging Relationships Estimated Fair Value (Liability)/Asset (1) (Loss)/Gain Recognized in OCI (2) Gain/(Loss) Reclassified From OCI into Income (3)(4) Loss Recognized in OCI (2) Gain/(Loss) Reclassified From OCI into Income (3)(4) Foreign currency contracts $ (4.9) $ (4.5) $ 1.8 $ (1.2) $ 4.5 Interest rate swaps contracts (7.3) (1.2) (1.6) (6.6) (2.7) Zinc contracts 4.4 3.2 (0.3) (3.1) (0.6) Total $ (7.8) $ (2.5) $ (0.1) $ (10.9) $ 1.2 (1) All derivative assets are presented in Other current assets or Other assets.

Energizer has the following recognized financial assets resulting from those transactions that meet the scope of the disclosure requirements as necessitated by applicable accounting guidance for balance sheet offsetting. Offsetting of derivative assets At June 30, 2021 At September 30, 2020 Description Balance Sheet location Gross amounts of recognized assets Gross amounts offset in the Balance Sheet Net amounts of assets presented in the Balance Sheet Gross amounts of recognized assets Gross amounts offset in the Balance Sheet Net amounts of assets presented in the Balance Sheet Foreign Currency Contracts Other Current Assets, Other Assets $ 2.6 $ (1.2) $ 1.4 $ 0.8 $ (0.4) $ 0.4 Offsetting of derivative liabilities At June 30, 2021 At September 30, 2020 Description Balance Sheet location Gross amounts of recognized liabilities Gross amounts offset in the Balance Sheet Net amounts of liabilities presented in the Balance Sheet Gross amounts of recognized liabilities Gross amounts offset in the Balance Sheet Net amounts of liabilities presented in the Balance Sheet Foreign Currency Contracts Other Current Liabilities, Other Liabilities $ (4.0) $ 1.2 $ (2.8) $ (6.0) $ 0.5 $ (5.5) Fair Value Hierarchy —Accounting guidance on fair value measurements for certain financial assets and liabilities requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified in one of the following three categories: Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data. Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting the reporting entity’s own assumptions or external inputs from inactive markets. Under the fair value accounting guidance hierarchy, an entity is required to maximize the use of quoted market prices and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The following table sets forth the Company's financial assets and liabilities, which are carried at fair value, as of June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020 that are measured on a recurring basis during the period, segregated by level within the fair value hierarchy: Level 2 (Liabilities)/Assets at estimated fair value: June 30, September 30, Deferred compensation $ (26.6) $ (26.8) Derivatives - Foreign Currency contracts (1.6) (4.9) Derivatives - Foreign Currency contracts (non-hedge) 0.2 (0.2) Derivatives - Interest Rate Swap contracts 9.8 (7.3) Derivatives - Zinc contracts 7.3 4.4 Net Liabilities at estimated fair value $ (10.9) $ (34.8) Energizer had no Level 1 financial assets or liabilities, other than pension plan assets, and no Level 3 financial assets or liabilities at June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020. Due to the nature of cash and cash equivalents carrying amounts on the balance sheets approximate estimated fair value. The estimated fair value of cash was determined based on level 1 inputs and cash equivalents and restricted cash are determined based on level 2 inputs. At June 30, 2021, the estimated fair value of the Company's unfunded deferred compensation liability is determined based upon the quoted market prices of investment options that are offered under the plan. The estimated fair value of foreign currency contracts, interest rate swap and zinc contracts, as described above, is the amount that the Company would receive or pay to terminate the contracts, considering first, quoted market prices of comparable agreements, or in the absence of quoted market prices, such factors as interest rates, currency exchange rates and remaining maturities. At June 30, 2021, the fair market value of fixed rate long-term debt was $2,187.4 compared to its carrying value of $2,170.7, and at September 30, 2020, the fair market value of fixed rate long-term debt was $2,858.3 compared to its carrying value of $2,761.9. The estimated fair value of the long-term debt is estimated using yields obtained from independent pricing sources for similar types of borrowing arrangements. The estimated fair value of fixed rate long-term debt has been determined based on Level 2 inputs.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Legal proceedings/contingencies and other obligations	Legal proceedings/contingencies and other obligations Legal proceedings/contingencies - The Company and its affiliates are subject to a number of legal proceedings in various jurisdictions arising out of its operations. Many of these legal matters are in preliminary stages and involve complex issues of law and fact, and may proceed for protracted periods of time. The amount of liability, if any, from these proceedings cannot be determined with certainty. The Company and its affiliates are a party to legal proceedings and claims that arise during the ordinary course of business. The Company reviews our legal proceedings and claims, regulatory reviews and inspections and other legal proceedings on an ongoing basis and follows appropriate accounting guidance when making accrual and disclosure decisions. The Company establishes accruals for those contingencies where the incurrence of a loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated, and discloses the amount accrued and the amount of a reasonably possible loss in excess of the amount accrued, if such disclosure is necessary for our financial statements to not be misleading. The Company does not record liabilities when the likelihood that the liability has been incurred is probable, but the amount cannot be reasonably estimated. Based upon present information, the Company believes that its liability, if any, arising from such pending legal proceedings, asserted legal claims and known potential legal claims which are likely to be asserted, is not reasonably likely to be material to the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows, when taking into account established accruals for estimated liabilities. Other obligations - In the ordinary course of business, the Company also enters into supply and service contracts. These contracts can include either volume commitments or fixed expiration dates, termination provisions and other standard contractual considerations. At June 30, 2021, the Company had approximately $34.0 of purchase obligations under these contracts.
