| Peer Group Issuers, Footnote [Text Block] | | | TSR is cumulative for the measurement period determined based on the value of an initial fixed investment of $100, calculated in accordance with Item 201€ of Regulation S-K. The TSR peer group for purposes of this table is the S&P North American Technology Index. The spin-off of The Aaron's Company on November 30, 2020 was reflected as a $9.60 per share special dividend in calculating the PROG Holdings cumulative total shareholder return. Shareholders of PROG Holdings received one share of The Aaron's Company for every two shares of PROG Holdings common stock in the distribution related to the separation and spin-off. The $9.60 per share special dividend was based on the November 30, 2020 closing price of one share of The Aaron's Company common stock, on a "when issued" basis, which was $19.19, adjusted for the distribution ratio. | | |

| Additional 402(v) Disclosure [Text Block] | | | SEC rules require certain adjustments be made to the Summary Compensation Table totals to determine CAP as reported in the Pay versus Performance Table. CAP is a value calculated under applicable SEC rules and does not represent the actual amount of compensation earned or paid to the applicable NEO. In general, CAP is calculated as Summary Compensation Table total compensation adjusted to include the fair market value of equity awards as of December 31 of the applicable year or, if earlier, the vesting date (rather than the grant date). NEOs do not participate in a defined benefit plan so no adjustment for pension benefits is included in the table below. The table below details these adjustments.Represents net earnings (loss) as shown in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K. Net loss for 2020 includes $295.1 million of Loss from Discontinued Operations, net of income tax, which reflects the operating results of the Aaron's Business segment that was spun-off from the Company on November 30, 2020. Net Earnings from Continuing Operations for 2020 was $233.6 million. 7. Represents the Company-selected measure, Adjusted EBITDA. The Adjusted EBITDA shown in the table is calculated using the definition approved by our Compensation Committee (the "Committee") for the use of that performance metric in our incentive compensation plan, and is not the same definition the Company used in reporting Adjusted EBITDA in its earnings press releases. See Appendix A for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA used in our incentive compensation plan to Adjusted EBITDA reported in our earnings releases and to Net Earnings (Loss), the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. | | |
