Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Organization	Organization Goosehead Insurance, Inc. (“GSHD”) is the sole managing member of Goosehead Financial, LLC (“GF”) and has the sole voting power and control of management of GF. Accordingly, GSHD consolidates the financial results of GF and reports non-controlling interest in GSHD’s condensed consolidated financial statements. GF was organized on January 1, 2016 as a Delaware Limited Liability Company and is headquartered in Westlake, TX. GSHD (collectively with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company”) provides personal and commercial property and casualty insurance brokerage services for its clients through a network of corporate-owned agencies and franchise units across the nation.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Therefore, they do not include all of the annual disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). However, in the opinion of management, these statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial positions at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the condensed consolidated results of operations, stockholders' equity and statements of cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. The interim period condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements that are included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 280 "Segment Reporting", and in the first quarter of 2022, the Company began reporting one operating segment due to changes in how the Company's chief operating decision maker assesses the Company's performance and allocates resources. See Note 12 "Segment Reporting". The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for the entire year. The Company experiences seasonal fluctuations of its revenue due to the timing of contingent commission revenue recognition and trends in housing market activity. Impact of the Coronavirus (“COVID-19”) Pandemic To date, the pandemic has not increased our costs of or access to capital under our term note and revolving credit facility, and we do not believe it is reasonably likely to do so in the future. In addition, we do not believe that the pandemic will affect our ongoing ability to meet the covenants in our debt instruments, including under our term note and revolving credit facility. To date, the pandemic has not impacted the collectability of receivables or adversely affected our ability to generate new business, add new franchises, or retain existing franchises or policies. While contingent commissions initially benefited from lower loss ratios in the early part of the pandemic, we now anticipate lower contingent commissions as customers return to pre-pandemic driving patterns and loss ratios increase. Due to the nature of our business, the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic may not be fully reflected in our results of operations until future periods. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates as more information becomes known. Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to the asset and liability method which requires the recognition of deferred income tax assets and liabilities related to the expected future tax consequences arising from temporary differences between the carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities based on enacted statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. Any effects of changes in income tax rates or laws are included in income tax expense in the period of enactment. Reclassification Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the presentation of the current period financial statements. Restricted Cash The Company holds premiums received from the insured, but not yet remitted to the insurance Carrier in a fiduciary capacity. Premiums received but not yet remitted included in restricted cash were $2.3 million and $1.2 million as of September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The following is a reconciliation of our cash and restricted cash balances as presented in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 (in thousands) : September 30, 2022 2021 Cash and cash equivalents $ 46,107 $ 25,512 Restricted cash 2,263 1,179 Cash and cash equivalents, and restricted cash $ 48,370 $ 26,691 Recently adopted accounting pronouncements Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (ASU 2019-12) : In 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2019-12 to simplify the accounting for income taxes. The guidance primarily addresses how to (1) recognize a deferred tax liability after we transition to or from the equity method of accounting, (2) evaluate if a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill is related to a business combination or is a separate transaction, (3) recognize all of the effects of a change in tax law in the period of enactment, including adjusting the estimated annual tax rate, and (4) include the amount of tax based on income in the income tax provision and any incremental amount as a tax not based on income for hybrid tax regimes. We adopted the guidance in the first quarter of 2021. The adoption did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements or related disclosures. Reference Rate Reform (ASU 2020-04) : In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2020-04. Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP if certain criteria are met to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. ASU 2020-04 is effective from March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. A substantial portion of our indebtedness bears interest at variable interest rates, primarily based on USD-LIBOR. The adoption of ASU 2020-04 did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. The standard will ease, if warranted, the administrative requirements for accounting for the future effects of the rate reform. Our debt agreement contains a provision to move to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") if or when LIBOR is phased out.

Revenue

Revenue	9 Months Ended

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]
Revenue	Revenue Commissions and fees The Company earns new and renewal commissions paid by insurance Carriers and fees paid by its clients for the binding of insurance coverage. The transactions price is set as the estimated commissions to be received over the term of the policy based on an estimate of premiums placed, policy changes and cancellations, net of a constraint. These commissions and fees are earned at a point in time upon the effective date of bound insurance coverage, as no performance obligation exists after coverage is bound. For Agency Fees, the Company enters into a contract with the insured, in which the Company's performance obligation is to place an insurance policy. The transaction price of the agency fee is set at the time the sale is agreed upon, and is included in the contract. Agency Fee revenue is recognized at a point in time, which is the effective date of the policy. Contingent commission revenue is generated from contracts between the Company and insurance carriers, for which the Company is compensated for certain growth, profitability, or other performance-based metrics. The performance obligations for contingent commissions will vary by contract, but generally include the Company increasing profitable written premium with the insurance carrier. The transaction price for contingent commissions is estimated based on all available information and is recognized over time as the Company completes its performance obligations, as the underlying policies are placed, net of a constraint. Franchise revenues Franchise revenues include initial franchise fees and ongoing new and renewal royalty fees from franchisees. Revenue from initial franchise fees is generated from a contract between the Company and a franchisee. The Company's performance obligation is to provide initial training, onboarding, ongoing support and use of the Company's business operations over the period of the franchise agreement. The transaction price is set by the franchise agreement and revenue is recognized over time as the Company completes its performance obligations. Revenue from new and renewal royalty fees is recorded by applying the sales- and usage-based royalties exception. Under the sales- and usage-based exception, the Company estimates the anticipated amount of the royalties to be received over the term of the policy based on an estimate of premiums placed by the franchisee, policy changes, and cancellations, net of a constraint. Revenue from royalty fees is recognized over time as the placement of the underlying policies occur. Contract costs The Company has evaluated ASC Topic 340 - Other Assets and Deferred Cost (“ASC 340”) which requires companies to defer certain incremental cost to obtain customer contracts, and certain costs to fulfill customer contracts. Incremental cost to obtain - The adoption of ASC 340 resulted in the Company deferring certain costs to obtain customer contracts primarily as they relate to commission-based compensation plans for the franchise sales team, in which the Company pays an incremental amount of compensation on new Franchise Agreements. These incremental costs are deferred and amortized over a 10-year period, which is consistent with the term of the contract. Costs to fulfill - The Company has evaluated the need to capitalize costs to fulfill customer contracts and has determined that there are no costs that meet the definition for capitalization under ASC 340.

Debt

Debt	9 Months Ended

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
Debt	Debt On July 21, 2021, the Company refinanced its $25.0 million revolving credit facility and $80.0 million term note payable to a $50.0 million revolving credit facility and $100.0 million term note payable to finance general corporate purposes and the special dividend. The Company also has the right, subject to approval by the administrative agent and each issuing bank, to increase the commitments under the credit facilities by an additional $25.0 million. The $50.0 million revolving credit facility accrues interest on amounts drawn at an initial interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.50%, then at an interest rate determined by the Company's leverage ratio for the preceding period. At September 30, 2022 the Company was accruing interest at LIBOR plus 225 basis points. At September 30, 2022, the Company had $25.0 million drawn against the revolving credit facility and had a letter of credit of $0.2 million applied against the maximum borrowing availability, payable on July 21, 2026. Thus, amounts available to draw totaled $24.8 million. The revolving credit facility is collateralized by substantially all the Company’s assets, which includes rights to future commissions and royalties. The term note is payable in quarterly installments of $0.6 million the first twelve months, $1.3 million the next twelve months, $1.9 million the next twelve months, and $2.5 million the last twenty-four months, with a balloon payment on July 21, 2026. The note is collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s assets, which includes rights to future commissions and royalties. Interest is calculated initially at LIBOR plus 2.25%, then at an interest rate based on the Company's leverage ratio for the preceding period. At September 30, 2022 the Company was accruing interest at LIBOR plus 225 basis points. The interest rate for each leverage ratio tier is as follows: Leverage Ratio Interest Rate < 1.50x LIBOR + 175 bps > 1.50x LIBOR + 200 bps > 2.50x LIBOR + 225 bps > 3.50x LIBOR + 250 bps Maturities of the term note payable for the next five years are as follows ( in thousands ): Amount 2022 1,250 2023 6,875 2024 9,375 2025 10,000 2026 68,125 Total $ 95,625 The Company’s note payable agreement contains certain restrictions and covenants. Under these restrictions, the Company is limited in the amount of debt incurred and distributions payable. As of September 30, 2022, the Company's maximum allowable trailing twelve months debt-to-EBITDA ratio, as defined by the credit agreement, was 4x. In addition, the credit agreement contains certain change of control provisions that, if broken, would trigger a default. Finally, the Company must maintain certain financial ratios. As of September 30, 2022, the Company was in compliance with these covenants. Because of both instruments’ variable interest rate, the note payable balance at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, approximates fair value using Level 2 inputs, described below. The framework for measuring fair value provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described as follows: • Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets. • Level 2—Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets or other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset. • Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The asset or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

Income Taxes

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes GSHD is the sole managing member of GF, which is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal and most applicable state and local income tax purposes. As a partnership, GF is not subject to U.S. federal and certain state and local income taxes. Any taxable income or loss generated by GF is passed through to and included in the taxable income or loss of its members, including GSHD, on a pro rata basis. GSHD is subject to U.S. federal income taxes, in addition to state and local income taxes, with respect to GSHD's allocable share of income of GF. Income tax expense (benefit) In accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes, each interim period is considered integral to the annual period, and tax expense is measured using an estimated annual effective tax rate. An entity is required to record income tax expense each quarter based on its best estimate of the annual effective tax rate for the full fiscal year and use that rate to provide for income taxes on a current year-to-date basis, as adjusted for discrete taxable events that occur during the interim periods. If, however, the entity is unable to reliably estimate its annual effective tax rate, then the actual effective tax rate for the year-to-date may be the best estimate of the entity’s annual effective tax rate. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company determined that it was unable to make a reliable estimate of its annual effective tax rate due to the sensitivity of the rate as it relates to its forecasted full year 2022 results. Therefore, the Company recorded a tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 based on its actual effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Provision for/(benefit from) income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $(0.7) million and $(0.1) million compared to $(2.6) million and $(2.6) million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. The effective tax rate was (28)% and 179% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and (92)% and (55)% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in the effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily due to a increase in exercises of employee stock options. Deferred taxes Deferred tax assets at September 30, 2022 were $140.2 million compared to $125.7 million at December 31, 2021. The primary contributing factor to the increase in deferred tax assets is additional redemptions of LLC Units of GF for shares of Class A common stock of GSHD during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Tax Receivable Agreement GF intends to make an election under Section 754 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations thereunder (the “Code”) effective for each taxable year in which a redemption or exchange of LLC Units and corresponding Class B common stock for shares of Class A common stock occurs. Future taxable redemptions or exchanges are expected to result in tax basis adjustments to the assets of GF that will be allocated to the Company and thus produce favorable tax attributes. These tax attributes would not be available to GSHD in the absence of those transactions. The anticipated tax basis adjustments are expected to reduce the amount of tax that GSHD would otherwise be required to pay in the future. GSHD entered into a tax receivable agreement with the Pre-IPO LLC Members on May 1, 2018 that provides for the payment by GSHD to the Pre-IPO LLC Members of 85% of the amount of cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax or franchise tax that GSHD actually realizes as a result of (i) any increase in tax basis in GSHD's assets and (ii) tax benefits related to imputed interest deemed arising as a result of payments made under the tax receivable agreement. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, an aggregate of 491,938 and 707,395 LLC Units were redeemed by the Pre-IPO LLC Members for newly issued shares of Class A common stock. In connection with these redemptions, GSHD received 491,938 and 707,395 LLC Units, which resulted in an increase in the tax basis of its investment in GF subject to the provisions of the tax receivable agreement. The Company recognized a liability for the TRA Payments due to the Pre-IPO LLC Members, representing 85% of the aggregate tax benefits the Company expects to realize from the tax basis increases related to the redemptions of LLC Units, after concluding it was probable that such TRA Payments would be paid based on its estimates of future taxable income. As of September 30, 2022, the total amount of TRA Payments due to the Pre-IPO LLC Members under the tax receivable agreement was $112.8 million, of which $0.4 million was current and included in Accounts payables and accrued expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Future exchanges of LLC Units for Class A common stock will result in additional TRA payments. Uncertain tax positions GSHD has determined there are no material uncertain tax positions as of September 30, 2022.

Equity [Abstract]
Stockholders' Equity	Stockholders' Equity Class A Common Stock GSHD has a total of 21,202 shares of its Class A common stock outstanding at September 30, 2022. Each share of Class A common stock holds economic rights and entitles its holder to one vote per share on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of GSHD. Class B Common Stock GSHD has a total of 16,201 shares of its Class B common stock outstanding at September 30, 2022. Each share of Class B common stock has no economic rights but entitles its holder to one vote per share on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of GSHD. Holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock vote together as a single class on all matters presented to GSHD's shareholders for their vote or approval, except as otherwise required by applicable law, by agreement, or by GSHD's certificate of incorporation. Earnings Per Share The following table sets forth the calculation of basic earnings per share ("EPS") based on net income attributable to GSHD for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, divided by the basic weighted average number of Class A common stock as of September 30, 2022 and 2021 (in thousands, except per share amounts) . Diluted earnings per share of Class A common stock is computed by dividing net income attributable to GSHD by the weighted average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding adjusted to give effect to potentially dilutive securities. The Company has not included the effects of conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares in the diluted EPS calculation using the "if-converted" method, because doing so has no impact on diluted EPS.

Noncontrolling Interest [Abstract]
Non-controlling interest	Non-controlling interest GSHD is the sole managing member of GF and, as a result, it consolidates the financial results of GF. GSHD reports a non-controlling interest representing the economic interest in GF held by the other members of GF. Under the amended and restated Goosehead Financial, LLC Agreement, the Pre-IPO LLC Members have the right, from and after the completion of the Offering (subject to the terms of the amended and restated Goosehead Financial, LLC Agreement), to require GSHD to redeem all or a portion of their LLC Units for, at GSHD's election, newly-issued shares of Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis or a cash payment equal to the volume weighted average market price of one share of GSHD's Class A common stock for each LLC Unit redeemed (subject to customary adjustments, including for stock splits, stock dividends and reclassifications) in accordance with the terms of the amended and restated Goosehead Financial, LLC Agreement. Additionally, in the event of a redemption request by a Pre-IPO LLC Member, GSHD may, at its option, effect a direct exchange of cash or Class A common stock for LLC Units in lieu of such a redemption. Shares of Class B common stock will be cancelled on a one-for-one basis if GSHD, at the election of a Pre-IPO LLC Member, redeems or exchanges LLC Units of such Pre-IPO LLC Member pursuant to the terms of the amended and restated Goosehead Financial, LLC Agreement. Except for transfers to GSHD pursuant to the amended and restated Goosehead Financial, LLC Agreement or to certain permitted transferees, the Pre-IPO LLC Members are not permitted to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any LLC Units or shares of Class B common stock. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, an aggregate of 492 thousand and 707 thousand LLC Units were redeemed by the non-controlling interest holders. Pursuant to the GF LLC Agreement, GSHD issued 492 thousand and 707 thousand shares of Class A common stock in connection with these redemptions and received 492 thousand and 707 thousand LLC Interests, increasing GSHD's ownership interest in GF. Simultaneously, and in connection with these redemptions, and 492 thousand and 707 thousand shares of Class B common stock were surrendered and cancelled.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Combination	All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Therefore, they do not include all of the annual disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). However, in the opinion of management, these statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial positions at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the condensed consolidated results of operations, stockholders' equity and statements of cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. The interim period condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements that are included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 280 "Segment Reporting", and in the first quarter of 2022, the Company began reporting one operating segment due to changes in how the Company's chief operating decision maker assesses the Company's performance and allocates resources. See Note 12 "Segment Reporting".
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates as more information becomes known.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to the asset and liability method which requires the recognition of deferred income tax assets and liabilities related to the expected future tax consequences arising from temporary differences between the carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities based on enacted statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. Any effects of changes in income tax rates or laws are included in income tax expense in the period of enactment.
Reclassification	Reclassification Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the presentation of the current period financial statements.
Restricted Cash	Restricted CashThe Company holds premiums received from the insured, but not yet remitted to the insurance Carrier in a fiduciary capacity.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements	Recently adopted accounting pronouncements Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (ASU 2019-12) : In 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2019-12 to simplify the accounting for income taxes. The guidance primarily addresses how to (1) recognize a deferred tax liability after we transition to or from the equity method of accounting, (2) evaluate if a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill is related to a business combination or is a separate transaction, (3) recognize all of the effects of a change in tax law in the period of enactment, including adjusting the estimated annual tax rate, and (4) include the amount of tax based on income in the income tax provision and any incremental amount as a tax not based on income for hybrid tax regimes. We adopted the guidance in the first quarter of 2021. The adoption did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements or related disclosures. Reference Rate Reform (ASU 2020-04) : In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2020-04. Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP if certain criteria are met to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. ASU 2020-04 is effective from March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. A substantial portion of our indebtedness bears interest at variable interest rates, primarily based on USD-LIBOR. The adoption of ASU 2020-04 did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. The standard will ease, if warranted, the administrative requirements for accounting for the future effects of the rate reform. Our debt agreement contains a provision to move to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") if or when LIBOR is phased out.
Framework for Measuring Fair Value	The framework for measuring fair value provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described as follows: • Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets. • Level 2—Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets or other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset. • Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The asset or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
