Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Significant Accounting Policies	'
	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
	Basis of Presentation:
	The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Kimball International, Inc. (the "Company," "Kimball," "we," "us," or "our") have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q. As such, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) have been condensed or omitted, although we believe that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Management believes the financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary to present fairly the financial statements for the interim periods. The results of operations for the interim periods shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of results for any future interim period or for the entire fiscal year. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in our latest annual report on Form 10-K.
	Notes Receivable and Trade Accounts Receivable:
	Kimball's notes receivable and trade accounts receivable are recorded per the terms of the agreement or sale, and accrued interest is recognized when earned. We determine on a case-by-case basis the cessation of accruing interest, the resumption of accruing interest, the method of recording payments received on nonaccrual receivables, and the delinquency status for our limited number of notes receivable.
	Our policy for estimating the allowance for credit losses on trade accounts receivable and notes receivable includes analysis of such items as aging, credit worthiness, payment history, and historical bad debt experience. Management uses these specific analyses in conjunction with an evaluation of the general economic and market conditions to determine the final allowance for credit losses on the trade accounts receivable and notes receivable. Trade accounts receivable and notes receivable are written off after exhaustive collection efforts occur and the receivable is deemed uncollectible. Our limited amount of notes receivable allows management to monitor the risks, credit quality indicators, collectability, and probability of impairment on an individual basis. Adjustments to the allowance for credit losses are recorded in selling and administrative expenses.
	Other General Income:
	Other General Income in the third quarter and the first nine months of fiscal year 2014 included $0.7 million and $5.7 million, respectively, of pre-tax income resulting from settlements received related to two antitrust class action lawsuits in which Kimball was a class member. The lawsuits alleged that certain suppliers of the Electronic Manufacturing Services (EMS) segment conspired over a number of years to raise and fix the prices of electronic components, resulting in overcharges to purchasers of those components. No Other General Income was recorded during the year-to-date period of fiscal year 2013.
	Non-operating Income (Expense), net:
	The non-operating income (expense), net line item includes the impact of such items as foreign currency rate movements and related derivative gain or loss, fair value adjustments on Supplemental Employee Retirement Plan (SERP) investments, investment gain or loss, non-production rent income, bank charges, and other miscellaneous non-operating income and expense items that are not directly related to operations. The gain on SERP investments is offset by a change in the SERP liability that is recognized in selling and administrative expenses.

	Non-operating income (expense), net	$	107		$	(15	)	$	2,236		$	(1,301	)
	Income Taxes:
	In determining the quarterly provision for income taxes, Kimball uses an estimated annual effective tax rate which is based on expected annual income, statutory tax rates, and available tax planning opportunities in the various jurisdictions in which we operate. Unusual or infrequently occurring items are separately recognized in the quarter in which they occur.
	In September 2013, the United States Treasury Department and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) issued final regulations effective for our first quarter of fiscal year 2015, which provide guidance on a number of matters with regard to tangible property, including whether expenditures qualify as deductible repairs, the treatment of materials and supplies, capitalization of tangible property, dispositions of property, and related elections.  We do not expect the regulations as issued to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.  Future transitional guidance in the form of revenue procedures issued by the IRS, and the finalization of other proposed regulations, could impact our current estimates.
	New Accounting Standards:
	In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance on reporting discontinued operations and disclosures of disposals of components of an entity. Under the new guidance, a disposal that represents a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results is a discontinued operation. The new guidance requires expanded disclosures that will provide more information about the assets, liabilities, income, and expenses of discontinued operations, and also requires disclosures of significant disposals that do not qualify for discontinued operations reporting. The guidance is effective prospectively for disposals or components of our business classified as held for sale during the first quarter of fiscal year 2016. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.
	In July 2013, the FASB issued guidance to eliminate the diversity in practice related to the financial statement presentation of unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists at the reporting date. The guidance is effective prospectively for our first quarter fiscal year 2015 financial statements. The adoption is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
	In February 2013, the FASB issued guidance on the presentation of comprehensive income. This guidance requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under U.S. GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. The amendments were adopted prospectively for our first quarter fiscal year 2014 financial statements. As this guidance only impacted how comprehensive income is disclosed, the adoption did not impact our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

	LIFO reserve	(13,253		)	(12,871		)
	Total inventory	$	133,633		$	123,998
	For interim reporting, LIFO inventories are computed based on quantities as of the end of the quarter and interim changes in price levels. Changes in quantities and price levels are reflected in the interim financial statements in the period in which they occur, except in cases where LIFO inventory liquidations are expected to be reinstated by fiscal year end. The earnings impact of LIFO inventory liquidations during the three and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was immaterial.

Segment Information [Abstract]	'
Segment Reporting Disclosure	'
	Segment Information
	Management organizes Kimball into segments based upon differences in products and services offered in each segment. The EMS segment provides engineering, manufacturing, and supply chain services which utilize common production and support capabilities to a variety of industries globally. The EMS segment focuses on electronic assemblies that have high durability requirements and are sold on a contract basis and produced to customers' specifications. The EMS segment currently sells primarily to customers in the automotive, medical, industrial, and public safety industries. The Furniture segment provides furniture for the office and hospitality industries, sold under Kimball's family of brand names. Each segment's product line offerings consist of similar products and services sold within various industries. Intersegment sales were insignificant.
	Unallocated corporate assets include cash and cash equivalents, investments, and other assets not allocated to segments. Unallocated corporate net income consists of income not allocated to segments for purposes of evaluating segment performance and includes income from corporate investments and other non-operational items. The basis of segmentation and accounting policies of the segments are consistent with those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013.

	Standby letters of credit are issued to third-party suppliers, lessors, and insurance institutions and can only be drawn upon in the event of Kimball's failure to pay its obligations to a beneficiary. As of March 31, 2014, we had a maximum financial exposure from unused standby letters of credit totaling $1.1 million. We are not aware of circumstances that would require us to perform under any of these arrangements and believe that the resolution of any claims that might arise in the future, either individually or in the aggregate, would not materially affect our consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, no liability has been recorded as of March 31, 2014 with respect to the standby letters of credit. Kimball also enters into commercial letters of credit to facilitate payments to vendors and from customers.
	We estimate product warranty liability at the time of sale based on historical repair or replacement cost trends in conjunction with the length of the warranty offered. Management refines the warranty liability in cases where specific warranty issues become known.
	Changes in the product warranty accrual for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 were as follows:

	Restructuring Expense
	We recognized no restructuring charges during the third quarter of fiscal year 2014, and recognized $0.4 million of pre-tax restructuring charges during the year-to-date period of fiscal year 2014. The year-to-date charges were primarily related to the sale of a facility and land located in Gaylord, Michigan, which resulted in a $0.3 million pre-tax loss within Unallocated Corporate. The remaining year-to-date charges were miscellaneous exit costs related to the EMS Fremont and EMS European Consolidation plans. The lease of the EMS Fremont facility expired in August 2013. During the third quarter and year-to-date periods of fiscal year 2013, we recognized an immaterial amount of restructuring charges primarily related to EMS Fremont and Gaylord miscellaneous plant closure charges. All restructuring activities related to previously announced restructuring plans are complete.
	Restructuring charges are included in the Restructuring Expense line item of our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
	There was no accrued restructuring at March 31, 2014. At June 30, 2013 there was an immaterial amount of accrued restructuring recorded in current liabilities, which was related to the remaining lease payments due for the EMS Fremont facility.
	For more information on these restructuring plans, refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013.

Fair Value [Abstract]	'
Fair Value Disclosures	'
	Fair Value
	Kimball categorizes assets and liabilities measured at fair value into three levels based upon the assumptions (inputs) used to price the assets or liabilities. Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value, whereas level 3 generally requires significant management judgment. The three levels are defined as follows:
	•	Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
	•	Level 2: Observable inputs other than those included in level 1. For example, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets.
	•	Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting management's own assumptions about the inputs used in pricing the asset or liability.
	Our policy is to recognize transfers between these levels as of the end of each quarterly reporting period. There were no transfers between these levels during the nine months ended March 31, 2014. There were also no changes in the inputs or valuation techniques used to measure fair values compared to those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013.
	Financial Instruments Recognized at Fair Value:
	The following methods and assumptions were used to measure fair value:
	Financial Instrument		Level	Valuation Technique/Inputs Used
	Cash Equivalents		1	Market - Quoted market prices
	Derivative Assets: Foreign exchange contracts		2	Market - Based on observable market inputs using standard calculations, such as time value, forward interest rate yield curves, and current spot rates, considering counterparty credit risk.
	Derivative Assets: Stock warrants		3	Market - Based on a probability-weighted Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following inputs (level 3 input values indicated in parenthesis): risk-free interest rate (0.07%), historical stock price volatility (82.7%) and weighted average expected term (6 months). Enterprise value was estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation.
				Stock warrants are revalued and analyzed for reasonableness on a quarterly basis. The level 3 inputs used are the standard inputs used in the Black-Scholes model. Input values are based on publicly available information (Federal Reserve interest rates) and internally-developed information (historical stock price volatility of comparable investments) and remaining expected term of warrants.
				Significant increases (decreases) in the historical stock price volatility, expected life, and enterprise value in isolation would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement. The inputs do not have any interrelationships.
	Trading securities: Mutual funds held by nonqualified supplemental employee retirement plan		1	Market - Quoted market prices
	Derivative Liabilities: Foreign exchange contracts		2	Market - Based on observable market inputs using standard calculations, such as time value, forward interest rate yield curves, and current spot rates adjusted for Kimball's non-performance risk.
	Recurring Fair Value Measurements:
	As of March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013, the fair values of financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis using the market approach are categorized as follows:
		March 31, 2014

	Total liabilities at fair value	$	—		$	1,662	$	—	$	1,662
	The change in fair value of Level 3 investment assets during the nine months ended March 31, 2014 was immaterial, and no purchases or sales of Level 3 assets occurred during the period.
	The nonqualified supplemental employee retirement plan (SERP) assets consist primarily of equity funds, balanced funds, a bond fund, and a money market fund. The SERP investment assets are offset by a SERP liability which represents Kimball's obligation to distribute SERP funds to participants. See Note 9 - Investments of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding the SERP.
	Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurements:
	Certain assets are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. These assets are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis, but are subject to fair value adjustments when events or circumstances indicate a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the asset. Assets that are written down to fair value when impaired are not subsequently adjusted to fair value unless further impairment occurs.
	Non-recurring fair value adjustment		Level	Valuation Technique/Inputs Used
	Impairment of long-lived assets (property & equipment)		3	Market - Estimated potential net selling price.
	During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we had no fair value adjustments applicable to items that are subject to non-recurring fair value measurement after the initial measurement date. During the nine months ended March 31, 2014, we classified an aircraft as held for sale and accordingly recognized pre-tax impairment of $1.2 million due to a significant downward shift in the market for private aviation aircraft. The aircraft was sold during the second quarter of fiscal year 2014.
	Financial Instruments Not Carried At Fair Value:
	Financial instruments that are not reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value that have carrying amounts which approximate fair value include the following:
	Financial Instrument		Level	Valuation Technique/Inputs Used
	Notes receivable		2	Market - Price approximated based on the assumed collection of receivables in the normal course of business, taking into account the customer's non-performance risk
	Non-marketable equity securities (cost-method investments, which carry shares at cost except in the event of impairment)		3	Cost Method, with Impairment Recognized Using a Market-Based Valuation Technique - See the explanation below the table regarding the method used to periodically estimate the fair value of cost-method investments.
	Long-term debt (carried at amortized cost)		3	Income - Price estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis based on quoted long-term debt market rates, taking into account Kimball's non-performance risk
	Investments in non-marketable equity securities are accounted for using the cost method if Kimball does not have the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the investee. On a periodic basis, but no less frequently than quarterly, these investments are assessed for impairment when there are events or changes in circumstances that may have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the investment. If a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the investment has occurred and is deemed to be other-than-temporary, the fair value of the investment is estimated, and the amount by which the carrying value of the cost-method investment exceeds its fair value is recorded as an impairment.
	The carrying value of our cash deposit accounts, trade accounts receivable, trade accounts payable, and dividends payable approximates fair value due to the relatively short maturity and immaterial non-performance risk.

Derivative Instruments [Abstract]	'
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure	'
	Derivative Instruments
	Foreign Exchange Contracts:
	We operate internationally and are therefore exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations in the normal course of business. Our primary means of managing this exposure is to utilize natural hedges, such as aligning currencies used in the supply chain with the sale currency. To the extent natural hedging techniques do not fully offset currency risk, we use derivative instruments with the objective of reducing the residual exposure to certain foreign currency rate movements. Factors considered in the decision to hedge an underlying market exposure include the materiality of the risk, the volatility of the market, the duration of the hedge, the degree to which the underlying exposure is committed to, and the availability, effectiveness, and cost of derivative instruments. Derivative instruments are only utilized for risk management purposes and are not used for speculative or trading purposes.
	We use forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges to protect against foreign currency exchange rate risks inherent in forecasted transactions denominated in a foreign currency. Foreign exchange contracts are also used to hedge against foreign currency exchange rate risks related to intercompany balances denominated in currencies other than the functional currencies. As of March 31, 2014, we had outstanding foreign exchange contracts to hedge currencies against the U.S. dollar in the aggregate notional amount of $24.3 million and to hedge currencies against the Euro in the aggregate notional amount of 55.0 million Euro. The notional amounts are indicators of the volume of derivative activities but are not indicators of the potential gain or loss on the derivatives.
	In limited cases due to unexpected changes in forecasted transactions, cash flow hedges may cease to meet the criteria to be designated as cash flow hedges. Depending on the type of exposure hedged, we may either purchase a derivative contract in the opposite position of the undesignated hedge or may retain the hedge until it matures if the hedge continues to provide an adequate offset in earnings against the currency revaluation impact of foreign currency denominated liabilities.
	The fair value of outstanding derivative instruments is recognized on the balance sheet as a derivative asset or liability. When derivatives are settled with the counterparty, the derivative asset or liability is relieved and cash flow is impacted for the net settlement. For derivative instruments that meet the criteria of hedging instruments under FASB guidance, the effective portions of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument are initially recorded net of related tax effect in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss), a component of Share Owners' Equity, and are subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period or periods during which the hedged transaction is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of the derivative gain or loss is reported in the Non-operating income (expense), net line item on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income immediately. The gain or loss associated with derivative instruments that are not designated as hedging instruments or that cease to meet the criteria for hedging under FASB guidance is also reported in the Non-operating income (expense), net line item on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income immediately.
	Based on fair values as of March 31, 2014, we estimate that $0.5 million of pre-tax derivative losses deferred in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) will be reclassified into earnings, along with the earnings effects of related forecasted transactions, within the next 12 months. Losses on foreign exchange contracts are generally offset by gains in operating income in the income statement when the underlying hedged transaction is recognized in earnings. Because gains or losses on foreign exchange contracts fluctuate partially based on currency spot rates, the future effect on earnings of the cash flow hedges alone is not determinable, but in conjunction with the underlying hedged transactions, the result is expected to be a decline in currency risk. The maximum length of time we had hedged our exposure to the variability in future cash flows was 12 months as of both March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013.
	Stock Warrants:
	Kimball holds common stock warrants which provide the right to purchase a privately-held company's equity securities at a specified exercise price. The value of the stock warrants fluctuates primarily in relation to the value of the privately-held company's underlying securities, either providing an appreciation in value or potentially expiring with no value. The stock warrants expire in June 2017. Gains and losses on the revaluation of stock warrants are recognized in the Non-operating income (expense), net line item on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
	See Note 7 - Fair Value of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding the fair value of derivative assets and liabilities and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income for the changes in deferred derivative gains and losses.

Investments in Debt and Marketable Equity Securities (and Certain Trading Assets) Disclosure	'
	Investments
	Non-marketable Equity Securities:
	Kimball currently holds non-marketable equity securities of a privately-held company. The equity securities were valued at $0.1 million at both March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013, and are included in the Other Assets line of the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2013, we recorded $0.2 million and $0.9 million, respectively, of impairment on the equity securities as a result of certain events and changes in circumstances that had a significant adverse effect on the fair value of this investment. See Note 7 - Fair Value of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the valuation of these securities. The investment does not rise to the level of a material variable interest or a controlling interest in the privately-held company which would require consolidation.
	Supplemental Employee Retirement Plan Investments:
	Kimball maintains a self-directed supplemental employee retirement plan (SERP) in which executive employees are eligible to participate. The SERP utilizes a rabbi trust, and therefore assets in the SERP portfolio are subject to creditor claims in the event of bankruptcy. Kimball recognizes SERP investment assets on the balance sheet at current fair value. A SERP liability of the same amount is recorded on the balance sheet representing an obligation to distribute SERP funds to participants. The SERP investment assets are classified as trading, and accordingly, realized and unrealized gains and losses are recognized in income in the Other Income (Expense) category. Adjustments made to revalue the SERP liability are also recognized in income as selling and administrative expenses and offset valuation adjustments on SERP investment assets. The change in net unrealized holding gains for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was, in thousands, $59 and $1,326, respectively.
	SERP asset and liability balances were as follows:

	Variable Interest Entities
	Kimball's involvement with variable interest entities (VIEs) is limited to situations in which we are not the primary beneficiary as we lack the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance. Thus, consolidation is not required.
	We are involved with VIEs consisting of an investment in common stock and stock warrants of a privately-held company, a note receivable related to the sale of an Indiana facility, and notes receivable resulting from loans provided to an electronics engineering services firm. Kimball also has a business development cooperation agreement with the electronic engineering services firm. For information related to our investment in the privately-held company, see Note 9 - Investments and Note 8 - Derivative Instruments of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The combined carrying value of the notes
	receivable, net of a $0.1 million allowance, was $1.4 million as of March 31, 2014. As of June 30, 2013, the combined carrying value of the notes receivable was $1.5 million, net of a $0.4 million allowance. For both periods, the combined carrying value was included on the Receivables line of our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as the entire balance is classified as short-term.
	We have no obligation to provide additional funding to the VIEs, and thus our exposure and risk of loss related to the VIEs is limited to the carrying value of the investments and notes receivable. Kimball did not provide additional financial support to the VIEs during the quarter ended March 31, 2014.

Planned Spin-Off [Abstract]	'
Planned Spin-Off	'
	On January 20, 2014, we announced that our Board of Directors unanimously approved a plan to spin off our EMS segment.  The spin-off will result in two independent publicly-traded companies:  Kimball International, Inc., an industry leader in the sale and manufacture of quality office and hospitality furniture; and Kimball Electronics, Inc., a leading global provider of electronic manufacturing services to the automotive, medical, industrial, and public safety markets.
	Execution of the transaction requires further work on structure, management, governance and other significant matters.  The completion of the spin-off is subject to certain customary conditions, including receipt of a legal opinion as to the tax-free nature of the spin-off for U.S. federal income tax purposes and regulatory approvals, as well as certain other matters.  We can make no assurance that any spin-off transaction will ultimately occur, or, if one does occur, its terms or timing.
	The disclosures within these condensed consolidated financial statements do not take into account the proposed spin-off of the EMS segment.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Basis of Presentation	'
	Basis of Presentation:
	The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Kimball International, Inc. (the "Company," "Kimball," "we," "us," or "our") have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q. As such, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) have been condensed or omitted, although we believe that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Management believes the financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary to present fairly the financial statements for the interim periods. The results of operations for the interim periods shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of results for any future interim period or for the entire fiscal year. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in our latest annual report on Form 10-K.
Notes Receivable and Trade Accounts Receivable	'
	Notes Receivable and Trade Accounts Receivable:
	Kimball's notes receivable and trade accounts receivable are recorded per the terms of the agreement or sale, and accrued interest is recognized when earned. We determine on a case-by-case basis the cessation of accruing interest, the resumption of accruing interest, the method of recording payments received on nonaccrual receivables, and the delinquency status for our limited number of notes receivable.
	Our policy for estimating the allowance for credit losses on trade accounts receivable and notes receivable includes analysis of such items as aging, credit worthiness, payment history, and historical bad debt experience. Management uses these specific analyses in conjunction with an evaluation of the general economic and market conditions to determine the final allowance for credit losses on the trade accounts receivable and notes receivable. Trade accounts receivable and notes receivable are written off after exhaustive collection efforts occur and the receivable is deemed uncollectible. Our limited amount of notes receivable allows management to monitor the risks, credit quality indicators, collectability, and probability of impairment on an individual basis. Adjustments to the allowance for credit losses are recorded in selling and administrative expenses.
Other General Income	'
	Other General Income:
	Other General Income in the third quarter and the first nine months of fiscal year 2014 included $0.7 million and $5.7 million, respectively, of pre-tax income resulting from settlements received related to two antitrust class action lawsuits in which Kimball was a class member. The lawsuits alleged that certain suppliers of the Electronic Manufacturing Services (EMS) segment conspired over a number of years to raise and fix the prices of electronic components, resulting in overcharges to purchasers of those components. No Other General Income was recorded during the year-to-date period of fiscal year 2013.
Non-operating Income (Expense), net	'
	Non-operating Income (Expense), net:
	The non-operating income (expense), net line item includes the impact of such items as foreign currency rate movements and related derivative gain or loss, fair value adjustments on Supplemental Employee Retirement Plan (SERP) investments, investment gain or loss, non-production rent income, bank charges, and other miscellaneous non-operating income and expense items that are not directly related to operations. The gain on SERP investments is offset by a change in the SERP liability that is recognized in selling and administrative expenses.

Income Taxes	'
	Income Taxes:
	In determining the quarterly provision for income taxes, Kimball uses an estimated annual effective tax rate which is based on expected annual income, statutory tax rates, and available tax planning opportunities in the various jurisdictions in which we operate. Unusual or infrequently occurring items are separately recognized in the quarter in which they occur.
	In September 2013, the United States Treasury Department and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) issued final regulations effective for our first quarter of fiscal year 2015, which provide guidance on a number of matters with regard to tangible property, including whether expenditures qualify as deductible repairs, the treatment of materials and supplies, capitalization of tangible property, dispositions of property, and related elections.  We do not expect the regulations as issued to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.  Future transitional guidance in the form of revenue procedures issued by the IRS, and the finalization of other proposed regulations, could impact our current estimates.
New Accounting Standards	'
	New Accounting Standards:
	In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance on reporting discontinued operations and disclosures of disposals of components of an entity. Under the new guidance, a disposal that represents a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results is a discontinued operation. The new guidance requires expanded disclosures that will provide more information about the assets, liabilities, income, and expenses of discontinued operations, and also requires disclosures of significant disposals that do not qualify for discontinued operations reporting. The guidance is effective prospectively for disposals or components of our business classified as held for sale during the first quarter of fiscal year 2016. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.
	In July 2013, the FASB issued guidance to eliminate the diversity in practice related to the financial statement presentation of unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists at the reporting date. The guidance is effective prospectively for our first quarter fiscal year 2015 financial statements. The adoption is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
	In February 2013, the FASB issued guidance on the presentation of comprehensive income. This guidance requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under U.S. GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. The amendments were adopted prospectively for our first quarter fiscal year 2014 financial statements. As this guidance only impacted how comprehensive income is disclosed, the adoption did not impact our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Inventory	'
	For interim reporting, LIFO inventories are computed based on quantities as of the end of the quarter and interim changes in price levels. Changes in quantities and price levels are reflected in the interim financial statements in the period in which they occur, except in cases where LIFO inventory liquidations are expected to be reinstated by fiscal year end.

Note_7_Fair_Value_Policies

Note 7. Fair Value (Policies)	9 Months Ended
	Mar. 31, 2014
Fair Value [Abstract]	'
Fair Value	'
	Kimball categorizes assets and liabilities measured at fair value into three levels based upon the assumptions (inputs) used to price the assets or liabilities. Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value, whereas level 3 generally requires significant management judgment. The three levels are defined as follows:
	•	Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
	•	Level 2: Observable inputs other than those included in level 1. For example, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets.
	•	Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting management's own assumptions about the inputs used in pricing the asset or liability.
	Our policy is to recognize transfers between these levels as of the end of each quarterly reporting period. There were no transfers between these levels during the nine months ended March 31, 2014. There were also no changes in the inputs or valuation techniques used to measure fair values compared to those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013.
	Financial Instruments Recognized at Fair Value:
	The following methods and assumptions were used to measure fair value:
	Financial Instrument		Level	Valuation Technique/Inputs Used
	Cash Equivalents		1	Market - Quoted market prices
	Derivative Assets: Foreign exchange contracts		2	Market - Based on observable market inputs using standard calculations, such as time value, forward interest rate yield curves, and current spot rates, considering counterparty credit risk.
	Derivative Assets: Stock warrants		3	Market - Based on a probability-weighted Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following inputs (level 3 input values indicated in parenthesis): risk-free interest rate (0.07%), historical stock price volatility (82.7%) and weighted average expected term (6 months). Enterprise value was estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation.
				Stock warrants are revalued and analyzed for reasonableness on a quarterly basis. The level 3 inputs used are the standard inputs used in the Black-Scholes model. Input values are based on publicly available information (Federal Reserve interest rates) and internally-developed information (historical stock price volatility of comparable investments) and remaining expected term of warrants.
				Significant increases (decreases) in the historical stock price volatility, expected life, and enterprise value in isolation would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement. The inputs do not have any interrelationships.
	Trading securities: Mutual funds held by nonqualified supplemental employee retirement plan		1	Market - Quoted market prices
	Derivative Liabilities: Foreign exchange contracts		2	Market - Based on observable market inputs using standard calculations, such as time value, forward interest rate yield curves, and current spot rates adjusted for Kimball's non-performance risk.
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, Including Intangible Assets, Policy	'
	Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurements:
	Certain assets are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. These assets are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis, but are subject to fair value adjustments when events or circumstances indicate a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the asset. Assets that are written down to fair value when impaired are not subsequently adjusted to fair value unless further impairment occurs.
	Non-recurring fair value adjustment		Level	Valuation Technique/Inputs Used
	Impairment of long-lived assets (property & equipment)		3	Market - Estimated potential net selling price.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments Not Carried at Fair Value	'
	Financial Instruments Not Carried At Fair Value:
	Financial instruments that are not reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value that have carrying amounts which approximate fair value include the following:
	Financial Instrument		Level	Valuation Technique/Inputs Used
	Notes receivable		2	Market - Price approximated based on the assumed collection of receivables in the normal course of business, taking into account the customer's non-performance risk
	Non-marketable equity securities (cost-method investments, which carry shares at cost except in the event of impairment)		3	Cost Method, with Impairment Recognized Using a Market-Based Valuation Technique - See the explanation below the table regarding the method used to periodically estimate the fair value of cost-method investments.
	Long-term debt (carried at amortized cost)		3	Income - Price estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis based on quoted long-term debt market rates, taking into account Kimball's non-performance risk
	Investments in non-marketable equity securities are accounted for using the cost method if Kimball does not have the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the investee. On a periodic basis, but no less frequently than quarterly, these investments are assessed for impairment when there are events or changes in circumstances that may have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the investment. If a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the investment has occurred and is deemed to be other-than-temporary, the fair value of the investment is estimated, and the amount by which the carrying value of the cost-method investment exceeds its fair value is recorded as an impairment.
	The carrying value of our cash deposit accounts, trade accounts receivable, trade accounts payable, and dividends payable approximates fair value due to the relatively short maturity and immaterial non-performance risk.
Cost Method Investments	'
	Investments in non-marketable equity securities are accounted for using the cost method if Kimball does not have the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the investee. On a periodic basis, but no less frequently than quarterly, these investments are assessed for impairment when there are events or changes in circumstances that may have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the investment. If a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the investment has occurred and is deemed to be other-than-temporary, the fair value of the investment is estimated, and the amount by which the carrying value of the cost-method investment exceeds its fair value is recorded as an impairment.

Note 8. Derivative Instruments (Policies)	9 Months Ended
	Mar. 31, 2014
Derivative Instruments [Abstract]	'
Derivatives, Hedge Discontinuances	'
	In limited cases due to unexpected changes in forecasted transactions, cash flow hedges may cease to meet the criteria to be designated as cash flow hedges. Depending on the type of exposure hedged, we may either purchase a derivative contract in the opposite position of the undesignated hedge or may retain the hedge until it matures if the hedge continues to provide an adequate offset in earnings against the currency revaluation impact of foreign currency denominated liabilities.
Derivatives, Reporting of Derivative Activity	'
	The fair value of outstanding derivative instruments is recognized on the balance sheet as a derivative asset or liability. When derivatives are settled with the counterparty, the derivative asset or liability is relieved and cash flow is impacted for the net settlement. For derivative instruments that meet the criteria of hedging instruments under FASB guidance, the effective portions of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument are initially recorded net of related tax effect in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss), a component of Share Owners' Equity, and are subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period or periods during which the hedged transaction is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of the derivative gain or loss is reported in the Non-operating income (expense), net line item on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income immediately. The gain or loss associated with derivative instruments that are not designated as hedging instruments or that cease to meet the criteria for hedging under FASB guidance is also reported in the Non-operating income (expense), net line item on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income immediately.

	-1	Annual performance shares were awarded to officers. Payouts will be based upon the fiscal year 2014 cash incentive payout percentages calculated under Kimball's Profit Sharing Incentive Bonus Plan. The number of shares issued will be less than the maximum potential shares issuable if the maximum cash incentive payout percentages are not achieved. Annual performance shares vest after one year.
	-2	Long-term performance shares were awarded to officers and other key employees. Payouts will be based upon the cash incentive payout percentages calculated under Kimball's Profit Sharing Incentive Bonus Plan. Long-term performance shares are based on five successive annual performance measurement periods, with each annual tranche having a grant date when economic profit tiers are established at the beginning of the applicable fiscal year and a vesting date at the end of each annual period. The number of shares issued will be less than the maximum potential shares issuable if the target cash incentive payout percentages are not achieved.
	-3	Unrestricted shares were awarded to non-employee members of the Board of Directors as compensation for director's fees as a result of directors' elections to receive unrestricted shares in lieu of cash payment. Director's fees are expensed over the period that directors earn the compensation. Other unrestricted shares were awarded to a key employee as consideration for service to the Company. Unrestricted shares do not have vesting periods, holding periods, restrictions on sale, or other restrictions.
	-4	The grant date fair value of performance shares is based on the stock price at the date of the award, reduced by the present value of dividends normally paid over the vesting period which are not payable on outstanding performance share awards. The grant date fair value shown for long-term performance shares is applicable to the first tranche only. The grant date fair value of the unrestricted shares was based on the stock price at the date of the award.
