Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Accounting Policies	Accounting Policies These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statement disclosures in our 2014 Form 10-K. We use the same accounting policies in preparing quarterly and annual financial statements. All adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of quarterly operating results are reflected herein and are of a normal, recurring nature. Certain prior-year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Unless otherwise noted, amounts presented within the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements refer to our continuing operations. Due to the seasonal nature of our business, quarterly revenues, expenses, earnings and cash flows are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

Pharmacies and Clinics Transaction	Pharmacies and Clinics Transaction On June 12, 2015, we entered into an asset purchase agreement with CVS Pharmacy, Inc. (CVS) to sell our pharmacy and clinic businesses for cash consideration of approximately $1.9 billion . The closing of the transaction is subject to regulatory approval and other customary conditions. Either party will be permitted to terminate the agreement if the closing has not occurred on or before March 15, 2016 (or September 15, 2016 solely in the event that, as of March 15, 2016, all conditions other than regulatory approval have been satisfied or waived). Following the closing, CVS will operate the pharmacy and clinic businesses in our stores on a long term basis. The agreement includes the sale of inventory and other assets. These currently held for sale assets have been classified as follows.

The Canada Subsidiaries are executing a liquidation process. As of May 2, 2015, all stores were closed.

The beneficiaries of those guarantees may seek damages or other related relief as a result of our exit from Canada. Our probable loss estimate is based on the expectation that claims will be asserted against us and negotiated settlements will be reached, and not on any determination that it is probable we would be found liable were these claims to be litigated. Our estimates involve significant judgment and are based on currently available information, an assessment of the validity of certain claims and estimated payments by the Canada Subsidiaries. We are not able to reasonably estimate a range of possible losses in excess of the accrual because there are significant factual and legal issues to be resolved. We believe that it is reasonably possible that future changes to our estimates of loss and the ultimate amount paid on these claims could be material to our results of operations in future periods. Any such losses would be reported in discontinued operations. Receivables from the Canada Subsidiaries primarily relate to loans made to fund the operations of the Canada Subsidiaries and receivables generated in the ordinary course of business prior to deconsolidation. To assess recoverability, we estimated the fair value of the underlying net assets of the Canada Subsidiaries available for distribution to their creditors in relation to the estimated creditor claims and the priority of these claims. Our estimates involve significant judgment and are based on currently available information, an assessment of the validity of certain claims and estimated payments by the Canada Subsidiaries. Our ultimate recovery is subject to the final liquidation value of the Canada Subsidiaries. Income Taxes During the second quarter of 2015, we recognized a net tax benefit of $60 million in discontinued operations, which primarily relates to our second quarter pretax exit costs and adjustments to the tax benefit from our investment loss in Canada. During the fourth quarter of 2014, we recognized a tax benefit of $1,627 million in discontinued operations. The majority of the tax benefit was received in the first quarter of 2015, and we expect to use substantially all of the remainder to reduce our 2015 estimated tax payments.

As a result, we recorded $11 million and $114 million of severance and other benefits-related charges within selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) during the three and six months ended August 1, 2015, respectively. The vast majority of these expenses will require cash expenditures. These costs were not included in our segment results.

Data Breach

Data Breach	6 Months Ended

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Data Breach	Data Breach In the fourth quarter of 2013, we experienced a data breach in which an intruder stole certain payment card and other guest information from our network (the Data Breach). Based on our investigation, we believe that the intruder installed malware on our point-of-sale system in our U.S. stores and stole payment card data from up to approximately 40 million credit and debit card accounts of guests who shopped at our U.S. stores between November 27 and December 17, 2013. In addition, the intruder stole certain guest information, including names, mailing addresses, phone numbers or email addresses, for up to 70 million individuals. Data Breach Related Accruals Each of the four major payment card networks has made a written claim against us regarding the Data Breach, either directly or through our acquiring banks. In August 2015, we entered into a settlement agreement with Visa under which we will pay up to $67 million to eligible Visa card issuers worldwide that issued cards that Visa claimed to have been affected by the Data Breach. Our previously recorded accrual for estimated probable losses related to Visa is consistent with the settlement. We expect to dispute the remaining unsettled claims regarding the Data Breach that have been or may be made against us by the payment card networks. With respect to the three major payment card networks other than Visa, we think it is probable that our disputes would lead to settlement negotiations. We believe such negotiations would effect a combined settlement of the payment card networks' counterfeit fraud loss allegations and their non-ordinary course operating expense allegations. In addition, more than 100 actions were filed in courts in many states on behalf of guests, payment card issuing banks, and shareholders, seeking damages or other related relief allegedly arising out of the Data Breach. The federal court actions (the MDL Actions) have been consolidated in the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota (MDL Court) pursuant to the rules governing multidistrict litigation and one remaining state court action has been stayed. In March 2015, Target entered into a Settlement Agreement that, upon approval of the MDL Court, will resolve and dismiss the claims asserted in the MDL Actions on behalf of a class of guests whose information was compromised in the Data Breach. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, Target has agreed to pay $10 million to class member guests, certain administrative costs associated with the settlement, and attorneys’ fees and expenses to class counsel as the Court may award. The claims asserted by payment card issuing banks and shareholders in the MDL Actions remain pending. One action was filed in Canada relating to the Data Breach. That action was dismissed, but is being appealed. State and federal agencies, including State Attorneys General, and the Federal Trade Commission are investigating events related to the Data Breach, including how it occurred, its consequences and our responses. The SEC's Enforcement Division concluded its investigation during the second quarter of 2015 and does not intend to recommend an enforcement action against us. Our accrual for estimated probable losses for what we believe to be the vast majority of actual and potential Data Breach related claims is based on the expectation of reaching negotiated settlements, and not on any determination that it is probable we would be found liable for the losses we have accrued were these claims to be litigated. Given the varying stages of claims and related proceedings, and the inherent uncertainty surrounding them, our estimates involve significant judgment and are based on currently available information, historical precedents and an assessment of the validity of certain claims. Our estimates may change as new information becomes available, and although we do not believe it is probable, it is reasonably possible that we may incur a material loss in excess of the amount accrued. We are not able to estimate the amount of such reasonably possible excess loss exposure at this time because many of the matters are in the early stages, alleged damages have not been specified, and there are significant factual and legal issues to be resolved. Expenses Incurred and Amounts Accrued Data Breach Balance Sheet Rollforward (millions) Liabilities Insurance Receivable Balance at February 1, 2014 $ 61 $ 44 Expenses incurred/insurance receivable recorded (a) 175 46 Payments made/received (54 ) (20 ) Balance at August 2, 2014 $ 182 $ 70 Balance at January 31, 2015 $ 171 $ 60 Expenses incurred/insurance receivable recorded (a) 12 — Payments made/received (15 ) (5 ) Balance at August 1, 2015 $ 168 $ 55 (a) Includes expenditures and accruals for Data Breach-related costs and expected insurance recoveries as discussed below. We recorded $9 million and $12 million of pretax Data Breach-related expenses during the three and six months ended August 1, 2015 , respectively, primarily for legal and other professional services. We recorded $148 million and $175 million of pretax Data Breach-related expenses during the three and six months ended August 2, 2014 , respectively, partially offset by expected insurance recoveries of $38 million and $46 million , respectively. Along with legal and other professional services, these expenses included an increase to the accrual for estimated probable losses for what we believe to be the vast majority of actual and potential breach-related claims, including claims by the payment card networks. These expenses were included in our Consolidated Statements of Operations as SG&A, but were not part of our segment results. Since the Data Breach, we have incurred $264 million of cumulative expenses, partially offset by expected insurance recoveries of $90 million , for net cumulative expenses of $174 million . Insurance Coverage To limit our exposure to losses relating to Data Breach and other claims, we maintained $100 million of network-security insurance coverage during the period that the Data Breach occurred, above a $10 million deductible and with a $50 million sublimit for settlements with the payment card networks. This coverage, and certain other customary business-insurance coverage, has reduced our exposure related to the Data Breach. We will pursue recoveries to the maximum extent available under the policies. Since the Data Breach, we have received $35 million from our network-security insurance carriers of the $90 million accrued.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivative Financial Instruments	Derivative Financial Instruments Our derivative instruments primarily consist of interest rate swaps, which are used to mitigate interest rate risk. As a result of our use of derivative instruments, we have counterparty credit exposure to large global financial institutions. We monitor this concentration of counterparty credit risk on an ongoing basis. See Note 5 for a description of the fair value measurement of our derivative instruments and their classification on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. As of August 1, 2015 and August 2, 2014, three interest rate swaps with notional amounts totaling $1,250 million were designated as fair value hedges. No ineffectiveness was recognized during the three and six months ended August 1, 2015 or August 2, 2014 .

Share Repurchase	Share Repurchase In June 2015, our Board of Directors authorized a $5 billion expansion of our existing share repurchase program to $10 billion . Under this program, through August 1, 2015, we have repurchased 65.1 million cumulative shares of common stock at an average price of $67.19 , for a total investment of $4.4 billion . In June 2015, we entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement (ASR) to repurchase $250 to $350 million of our common stock under the existing share repurchase program. In July 2015, the contract was settled and we repurchased a total of 3.8 million shares under the ASR for a total cash investment of $314 million ( $82.67 per share). In April 2015, we entered into an ASR to repurchase $200 to $300 million of our common stock under the existing share repurchase program. In May 2015, the contract was settled and we repurchased a total of 3.3 million shares under the ASR for a total cash investment of $265 million ( $80.74 per share).

The remeasurement resulted in a $208 million reduction to the projected benefit obligation, primarily resulting from a 41 basis point increase in the discount rate used, and a $47 million reduction of plan assets. Subsequent to the remeasurement, the pension plan was overfunded, with plan assets of $3,725 million exceeding the projected benefit obligation of $3,604 million . We expect this remeasurement will reduce 2015 pension expense by $26 million , $8 million and $11 million of which was recognized during the three and six months ended August 1, 2015, respectively. Other Benefits We offer unfunded nonqualified deferred compensation plans to certain team members. We mitigate some of our risk of these plans through investing in vehicles, including company-owned life insurance and prepaid forward contracts in our own common stock, that offset a substantial portion of our economic exposure to the returns of these plans. These investment vehicles are general corporate assets and are marked to market with the related gains and losses recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the period they occur. The total change in fair value for contracts indexed to our own common stock recognized in earnings was pretax income of $1 million and $4 million for the three and six months ended August 1, 2015 , respectively, and pretax losses of $5 million and pretax income of $2 million for the three and six months ended August 2, 2014 , respectively. During the six months ended August 1, 2015 and August 2, 2014 , we made no investments in prepaid forward contracts in our own common stock. Adjusting our position in these investment vehicles may involve repurchasing shares of Target common stock when settling the forward contracts as described in Note 10.
