Business Description and 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.

Disposal Groups, Including Discontinued Operations, Disclosure	Spin-Off Transaction
	On October 31, 2014 (“Distribution Date”), we completed the previously announced spin-off of our Electronic Manufacturing Services (“EMS”) segment by distributing the related shares of Kimball Electronics, Inc. (“Kimball Electronics”), on a pro rata basis, to the Company's Share Owners of record as of October 22, 2014 (“the Record Date”). On the Distribution Date, each of the Company's Share Owners received three shares of Kimball Electronics for every four shares of the Company held by such Share Owner on the Record Date. After the Distribution Date, the Company does not beneficially own any Kimball Electronics shares and Kimball Electronics is an independent publicly traded company. Kimball International, Inc. trades on the NASDAQ under the ticker symbol “KBAL” and Kimball Electronics, Inc. trades on the NASDAQ under the ticker symbol “KE”.
	The following is a summary of the assets and liabilities distributed to Kimball Electronics on the Distribution Date or shortly thereafter:
	(Amounts in Millions)
	Assets:
	Cash and cash equivalents		$	63
	Receivables		133
	Inventories		124
	Prepaid expenses and other current assets		19
	Net property and equipment		98
	Goodwill		3
	Net other intangible assets		1
	Other long-term assets		15
			$	456
	Liabilities:
	Accounts payable		$	125
	Accrued expenses		22
	Other long-term liabilities		9
			$	156
	Net Assets Distributed to Kimball Electronics, Inc.		$	300
	The Company distributed $63 million of cash to Kimball Electronics, including the cash held by its foreign facilities, as Kimball Electronics began operation as an independent company. The cash distribution occurred in several installments immediately preceding the Distribution Date or shortly thereafter. In addition, $3.5 million of accumulated other comprehensive losses, net of tax, related to foreign translation, derivatives, and the postemployment benefit plan was transferred to Kimball Electronics.
	The EMS segment was reclassified to discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for all periods presented. Summarized financial results of discontinued operations through the October 31, 2014 spin-off date, were as follows:
		Three Months Ended					Six Months Ended
		31-Dec					31-Dec
	(Amounts in Thousands, Except Per Share Data)	2014			2013		2014		2013
	Net Sales	$	71,748		$	181,264	$	275,551	$	356,901
	Income Before Taxes on Income	3,599			7,557		13,098		19,367
	Provision for Income Taxes	921			423		3,941		4,059
	Income from Discontinued Operations, Net of Tax	$	2,678		$	7,134	$	9,157	$	15,308
	Income From Discontinued Operations per Class B Diluted Share	$	0.07		$	0.18	$	0.24	$	0.4
	In connection with the spin-off of Kimball Electronics, the Company and Kimball Electronics entered into several agreements covering administrative and tax matters to provide or obtain services on a transitional basis, as needed, for varying periods after the spin-off. The administrative agreements cover various services such as information technology, human resources, taxation, and finance. The Company expects all services to be substantially complete within one year after the spin-off. The Company has retained all liabilities for U.S. federal, state, and local income taxes on income prior to the spin-off, as well as certain non-income taxes attributable to Kimball Electronics’ business. Kimball Electronics generally will be liable for all other taxes attributable to its business. In connection with the spin-off, the Company has adjusted its employee stock compensation awards and separated its retirement and post-employment benefit plans.
	On October 30, 2014, holders of a sufficient number of shares of Class A common stock converted such shares into Class B common stock such that the number of outstanding shares of Class A common stock is, after such conversions, less than 15% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of both Class A common stock and Class B common stock. Pursuant to the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation if at any time the number of shares of Class A common stock issued and outstanding is less than 15% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of both Class A common stock and Class B common stock, then all of the rights, preferences, limitations and restrictions relating to Class B common stock shall become the same as the rights, preferences, limitations and restrictions of Class A common stock, without any further action of or by its Share Owners, and all distinctions between Class A common stock and Class B common stock shall be eliminated so that all shares of Class B common stock are equal to shares of Class A common stock with respect to all matters, including without limitation, dividend payments and voting rights. The elimination of such distinctions, which occurred on October 30, 2014, is referred to as the “stock unification.” As a result of the stock unification, Class A common stock and Class B common stock now vote as a single class (except as otherwise required by applicable law) on all matters submitted to a vote of the Company’s Share Owners.

Note 3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Supplemental Information	6 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2014
Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Supplemental Information [Abstract]
Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Supplemental Information	Recent Accounting Pronouncements:
	In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) provided explicit guidance on how to account for share-based payments granted to employees in which the terms of the award provide that a performance target that affects vesting could be achieved after the requisite service period. The guidance will be applied prospectively for our first quarter fiscal year 2017 financial statements.  We do not expect the adoption to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
	In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance on the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers. The core principle of the guidance is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration which the company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve this core principle, the guidance provides a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The guidance addresses several areas including transfer of control, contracts with multiple performance obligations, and costs to obtain and fulfill contracts. The guidance also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. The guidance is effective for our first quarter fiscal year 2018 financial statements using either of two acceptable adoption methods: (i) retrospective adoption to each prior reporting period presented with the option to elect certain practical expedients; or (ii) adoption with the cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance recognized at the date of initial application and providing certain additional disclosures. We have not yet selected a transition method nor determined the effect of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.
	In April 2014, the 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 became effective prospectively for our first quarter fiscal year 2015 financial statements. The adoption did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
	Notes Receivable and Trade Accounts Receivable:
	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.
	Income Taxes:
	In determining the quarterly provision for income taxes, we use 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.
	Our effective tax rate for the first half of fiscal year 2015 of 56.0% was unfavorably impacted as our combined state tax rate is lower post spin-off, requiring a $0.4 million adjustment to deferred taxes in the current period which increased our fiscal 2015 year-to-date tax expense and effective tax rate. In addition, a portion of our spin-off expenses which are nondeductible in the U.S. also unfavorably impacted the current year effective tax rate. The impact to our effective tax rate is magnified in periods when our pre-tax income is lower. Our effective tax rate for the first half of fiscal year 2014 was 35.3%.
	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 (loss) on SERP investments is offset by a change in the SERP liability that is recognized in selling and administrative expenses.
	Components of the Non-operating income (expense) line, from continuing operations were:
		Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended

	Total inventory	$	33,647		$	140,475
	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 six-month periods ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 was immaterial. The reduction in FIFO inventory from June 30, 2014 to December 31, 2014 was due to the spin-off of Kimball Electronics, Inc. from Kimball International, Inc. on October 31, 2014.

Commitments and Contingent Liabilities [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure	Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
	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 December 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 December 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 six months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 were as follows:

Restructuring Expense [Abstract]
Restructuring and Related Activities Disclosure	Restructuring Expense
	We recognized pre-tax restructuring expense related to continuing operations of $3.3 million in both the three and six months ended December 31, 2014, respectively, and recognized no restructuring expense related to continuing operations in the three and six months ended December 31, 2013. We utilize available market prices and management estimates to determine the fair value of impaired fixed assets. Restructuring charges are included in the Restructuring Expense line item on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
	For more information related to restructuring activities that are included in the discontinued operations line item on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014.
	Capacity Utilization Restructuring Plan:
	In November 2014, we announced a capacity utilization restructuring plan which includes the consolidation of our metal fabrication production from an operation located in Post Falls, Idaho, into existing production facilities in Indiana, and the reduction of our Company plane fleet from two jets to one.
	Key factors in the decision to consolidate the Post Falls operation into the Indiana facilities include the improvement of customer delivery, supply chain dynamics, and transportation costs. The transfer of work involves the start-up of metal fabrication capabilities in a Company-owned facility, along with the transfer of certain assembly operations into two additional company-owned facilities, all located in southern Indiana. The manufacturing capacity realignment will be carefully managed over a period of seven to eight quarters to ensure no customer disruptions. The consolidation activities began immediately and we are actively marketing for sale the Post Falls, Idaho facility. Incremental capital for equipment purchases to transfer this operation to Indiana is approximately $5 million, exclusive of the capital reduction that is estimated to occur upon the sale of the Post Falls facility. No changes in operating income are anticipated until the later quarters of the transfer of work. When fully implemented in seven to eight quarters, we anticipate pre-tax savings of approximately $5 million per year thereafter.
	The reduction of our plane fleet from two jets to one reduces our cost structure while aligning the plane fleet size with our needs following the spin-off of Kimball Electronics on October 31, 2014. Previously, one of our jets was used primarily for the successful strategy of transporting customers to visit our showrooms and manufacturing locations, while the remaining jet was used primarily for management travel. The plane used primarily for management travel has been placed for sale, and the completion of this restructuring is contingent on the sale of the aircraft. An impairment charge was recorded on the held-for-sale plane due to the book value of the plane exceeding current fair market value estimates less selling costs. As a result of the aircraft fleet reduction, we anticipate annual pre-tax savings of $0.8 million, with those savings starting in the third quarter of fiscal year 2015. In regards to the remaining jet, we believe that our location in rural Jasper, Indiana and the location of our manufacturing locations in small towns away from major metropolitan areas necessitates the need for the remaining jet to efficiently transport customers.
	We currently estimate that the pre-tax restructuring charges will be approximately $10.2 million, with $3.3 million recorded in the second quarter of fiscal year 2015, and the remainder is expected to be incurred over the remaining anticipated transition period. The restructuring charges are expected to consist of approximately $5.7 million of transition, training, and other employee costs, $3.1 million of plant closure and other exit costs, and $1.4 million of non-cash asset impairment. Approximately 86% of the total cost estimate is expected to be cash expense.

	At December 31, 2014, an aircraft which had been used primarily for management travel totaling $1,345, in thousands, was classified as held for sale. A pre-tax impairment charge, in thousands, of $1,051 was recorded on the Restructuring Expense line of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income during the second quarter of fiscal year 2015 due to the book value of the aircraft exceeding current fair market value estimates less selling costs.
	At June 30, 2014, no assets were classified as held for sale.

Note_9_Fair_Value

Note 9. Fair Value	6 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2014
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 six months ended December 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, 2014.
	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.
	Trading securities: Mutual funds in nonqualified SERP		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 December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014, 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:
		December 31, 2014
	(Amounts in Thousands)	Level 1			Level 2		Total
	Assets
	Cash equivalents	$	25,901		$	—	$	25,901

	Total assets at fair value	$	126,951		$	800	$	127,751
	Liabilities
	Derivatives: Foreign exchange contracts	$	—		$	699	$	699
	Total liabilities at fair value	$	—		$	699	$	699
	The reduction in balances from June 30, 2014 to December 31, 2014 was due to the spin-off of the EMS segment on October 31, 2014. We had no purchases or sales of Level 3 assets during the three and six months ended December 31, 2014.
	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 11 - 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 and equipment)		2	Market - Quoted market prices for similar assets sold, adjusted for features specific to our aircraft
	During the three months ended December 31, 2014, we classified an aircraft as held for sale and accordingly recognized pre-tax impairment of $1.1 million due to a reduction in its market value. During the three months ended December 31, 2013, 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 six months ended December 31, 2013, 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.
	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
	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
	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:
	Our former EMS segment, classified as discontinued operations, operated internationally and was therefore exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations in the normal course of business. The primary means of managing this exposure was to utilize natural hedges, such as aligning currencies used in the supply chain with the sale currency. To the extent natural hedging techniques did not fully offset currency risk, derivative instruments were used 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 included the materiality of the risk, the volatility of the market, the duration of the hedge, the degree to which the underlying exposure was committed to, and the availability, effectiveness, and cost of derivative instruments. Derivative instruments were only utilized for risk management purposes and were not used for speculative or trading purposes.
	Forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges were used to protect against foreign currency exchange rate risks inherent in forecasted transactions denominated in a foreign currency. Foreign exchange contracts were also used to hedge against foreign currency exchange rate risks related to intercompany balances denominated in currencies other than the functional currencies. In limited cases due to unexpected changes in forecasted transactions, cash flow hedges may have ceased to meet the criteria to be designated as cash flow hedges. Depending on the type of exposure hedged, either a derivative contract in the opposite position of the undesignated hedge may have been purchased or the hedge may have been retained until it matured if the hedge had continued to provide an adequate offset in earnings against the currency revaluation impact of foreign currency denominated liabilities.
	As of December 31, 2014, after the spin-off of the EMS segment, we held no derivative instruments. As of June 30, 2014, the fair value of outstanding derivative instruments was recognized on the balance sheet as a derivative asset or liability. When derivatives were settled with the counterparty, the derivative asset or liability was relieved and cash flow was impacted for the net settlement. For derivative instruments that met the criteria of hedging instruments under FASB guidance, the effective portions of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument were initially recorded net of related tax effect in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss), a component of Share Owners' Equity, and were subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period or periods during which the hedged transaction was recognized in earnings. The gain or loss associated with derivative instruments that were not designated as hedging instruments or that ceased to meet the criteria for hedging under FASB guidance was recognized in earnings.
	See Note 9 - 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. Information on the location and amounts of derivative fair values in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and derivative gains and losses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income are presented below.

Investments [Abstract]
Investments in Debt and Marketable Equity Securities (and Certain Trading Assets) Disclosure	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 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at current fair value. A SERP liability of the same amount is recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets 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 losses recognized in continuing operations for the six months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 was, in thousands, $389 and $258, respectively.
	SERP asset and liability balances were as follows:
	(Amounts in Thousands)	December 31,		June 30,
		2014		2014
	SERP investments - current asset	$	8,632	$	8,812
	SERP investments - other long-term asset	9,737		14,294

	SERP obligation - other long-term liability	9,737		14,294
	Total SERP obligation	$	18,369	$	23,106
	The reduction in SERP investments and obligation from June 30, 2014 to December 31, 2014 was due primarily to the spin-off of Kimball Electronics on October 31, 2014.

	(3) Restricted share units (RSU) were awarded to officers. Vesting occurs at the end of each of the Company's next three fiscal years ending June 30, 2015, June 30, 2016, and June 30, 2017. Upon vesting, the outstanding number of RSUs and the value of dividends accumulated over the vesting period are converted to shares of Class B common stock.

Variable Interest Entities [Abstract]
Variable Interest Entities	Variable Interest Entities
	Kimball's involvement with a variable interest entity (“VIE”) is limited to a situation 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.
	Our involvement with the VIE is limited to a note receivable related to the sale of an Indiana facility. The carrying value of the note receivable, net of a $0.5 million allowance, was $0.9 million as of both December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014. For both periods, the short-term portion of the carrying value was included on the Receivables line and the long-term portion of the carrying value was included on the Other Assets line of our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
	We have no obligation to provide additional funding to the VIE, and thus our exposure and risk of loss related to the VIE is limited to the carrying value of the notes receivable. Kimball did not provide additional financial support to the VIE during the quarter ended December 31, 2014.

Credit Agreement [Abstract]
Debt Disclosure	Credit Agreement
	In connection with the spin-off, on October 31, 2014 Kimball entered into a new credit facility. The new Kimball credit agreement, which replaced its previously existing primary credit facility, has a maturity date of October 31, 2019 and allows for up to $30 million in borrowings, with an option to increase the amount available for borrowing to $55 million at the Company's request, subject to participating banks' consent. The complete credit agreement was filed as Exhibit 10.4 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on November 3, 2014.
	At December 31, 2014, we had $1.1 million in letters of credit outstanding, which reduced our borrowing capacity on the credit facility.
	The revolving loans under the Credit Agreement may consist of, at the Company's election, advances in U.S. dollars or advances in any other currency that is agreed to by the lenders. The proceeds of the revolving loans are to be used for general corporate purposes of the Company including acquisitions. A portion of the credit facility, not to exceed $10 million of the principal amount, will be available for the issuance of letters of credit. A commitment fee on the unused portion of principal amount of the credit facility is payable at a rate that ranges from 20.0 to 25.0 basis points per annum as determined by the Company's ratio of consolidated total indebtedness to adjusted consolidated EBITDA.
	The interest rate is dependent on the type of borrowings and will be one of the following two options:
	•	The adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate (“Adjusted LIBO Rate” as defined in the Credit Agreement) in effect two business days prior to the advance (adjusted upwards to reflect bank reserve costs) for such interest period, plus the Eurocurrency Loans margin which can range from 125.0 to 175.0 basis points based on the Company's ratio of consolidated total indebtedness to adjusted consolidated EBITDA; or
	•	The Alternate Base Rate, which is defined as the highest of the fluctuating rate per annum equal to the higher of
	a.	JPMorgan's prime rate;
	b.	1% per annum above the Adjusted LIBO rate; or
	c.	1/2% per annum above the Federal funds rate;
	plus the ABR Loans spread which can range from 25.0 to 75.0 basis points based on the Company's ratio of consolidated total indebtedness to adjusted consolidated EBITDA.
	The Company's financial covenants under the Credit Agreement require:
	•	An adjusted leverage ratio of (a) consolidated total indebtedness minus unencumbered U.S. cash on hand in the U.S. in excess of $15,000,000 to (b) consolidated EBITDA, determined as of the end of each of its fiscal quarters for the then most recently ended four fiscal quarters, to not be greater than 3.0 to 1.0, and
	•	A fixed charge coverage ratio of (a) the sum of (i) consolidated EBITDA, minus (ii) 50% of depreciation expense, minus (iii) taxes paid, minus (iv) dividends and distributions paid, to (b) the sum of (i) scheduled principal payments on indebtedness due and/or paid, plus (ii) interest expense, calculated on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP, determined as of the end of each of its fiscal quarters for the trailing four fiscal quarters then ending, to not be less than 1.10 to 1.00.

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.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Supplemental Information [Abstract]
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements:
	In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) provided explicit guidance on how to account for share-based payments granted to employees in which the terms of the award provide that a performance target that affects vesting could be achieved after the requisite service period. The guidance will be applied prospectively for our first quarter fiscal year 2017 financial statements.  We do not expect the adoption to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
	In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance on the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers. The core principle of the guidance is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration which the company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve this core principle, the guidance provides a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The guidance addresses several areas including transfer of control, contracts with multiple performance obligations, and costs to obtain and fulfill contracts. The guidance also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. The guidance is effective for our first quarter fiscal year 2018 financial statements using either of two acceptable adoption methods: (i) retrospective adoption to each prior reporting period presented with the option to elect certain practical expedients; or (ii) adoption with the cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance recognized at the date of initial application and providing certain additional disclosures. We have not yet selected a transition method nor determined the effect of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.
	In April 2014, the 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 became effective prospectively for our first quarter fiscal year 2015 financial statements. The adoption did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
Notes Receivables and Trade Accounts Receivable	Notes Receivable and Trade Accounts Receivable:
	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.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes:
	In determining the quarterly provision for income taxes, we use 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.
	Our effective tax rate for the first half of fiscal year 2015 of 56.0% was unfavorably impacted as our combined state tax rate is lower post spin-off, requiring a $0.4 million adjustment to deferred taxes in the current period which increased our fiscal 2015 year-to-date tax expense and effective tax rate. In addition, a portion of our spin-off expenses which are nondeductible in the U.S. also unfavorably impacted the current year effective tax rate. The impact to our effective tax rate is magnified in periods when our pre-tax income is lower. Our effective tax rate for the first half of fiscal year 2014 was 35.3%.
Non-operating Income and 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 (loss) on SERP investments is offset by a change in the SERP liability that is recognized in selling and administrative expenses.

Note 9. Fair Value (Policies)	6 Months Ended
	Dec. 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 six months ended December 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, 2014.
	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.
	Trading securities: Mutual funds in nonqualified SERP		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 and equipment)		2	Market - Quoted market prices for similar assets sold, adjusted for features specific to our aircraft
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
	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
	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]
Derivatives, Hedge Discontinuances	In limited cases due to unexpected changes in forecasted transactions, cash flow hedges may have ceased to meet the criteria to be designated as cash flow hedges. Depending on the type of exposure hedged, either a derivative contract in the opposite position of the undesignated hedge may have been purchased or the hedge may have been retained until it matured if the hedge had continued 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 was recognized on the balance sheet as a derivative asset or liability. When derivatives were settled with the counterparty, the derivative asset or liability was relieved and cash flow was impacted for the net settlement. For derivative instruments that met the criteria of hedging instruments under FASB guidance, the effective portions of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument were initially recorded net of related tax effect in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss), a component of Share Owners' Equity, and were subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period or periods during which the hedged transaction was recognized in earnings. The gain or loss associated with derivative instruments that were not designated as hedging instruments or that ceased to meet the criteria for hedging under FASB guidance was recognized in earnings.

	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.
	Trading securities: Mutual funds in nonqualified SERP		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.
