Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Accounting Policies | Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information and instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all material adjustments which are of a normal and recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented have been reflected. Dollar amounts are reported in millions, except per share dollar amounts, unless otherwise noted. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. The terms "Corporation," "Kimberly-Clark," "K-C," "we," "our" and "us" refer to Kimberly-Clark Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries. Highly Inflationary Accounting in Argentina GAAP guidance requires the use of highly inflationary accounting for countries whose cumulative three-year inflation exceeds 100 percent. In the second quarter of 2018, published inflation indices indicated that the three-year cumulative inflation in Argentina exceeded 100 percent, and as of July 1, 2018, we elected to adopt highly inflationary accounting for our subsidiaries in Argentina (“K-C Argentina”). Under highly inflationary accounting, K-C Argentina’s functional currency became the U.S. dollar, and its income statement and balance sheet have been measured in U.S. dollars using both current and historical rates of exchange. The effect of changes in exchange rates on peso-denominated monetary assets and liabilities has been reflected in earnings in Other (income) and expense, net and was not material. As of June 30, 2021, K-C Argentina had a small net peso monetary position. Net sales of K-C Argentina were approximately 1 percent of our consolidated net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. Recently Adopted Accounting Standard In 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (Topic 740) . The new guidance simplifies the accounting for income taxes by eliminating certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the tax basis of goodwill after a business combination, and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. The new guidance also changes the calculation of the income tax impact of hybrid taxes and the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period. We adopted this standard as of January 1, 2021 on either a prospective basis or through a modified retrospective approach, as required by the standard. There was no cumulative effect adjustment recorded to retained earnings as the amount was not material. The effects of this standard on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows were not material. |

Restructuring Cost and Reserve | |
Restructuring and Related Activities Disclosure | 2018 Global Restructuring Program In January 2018, we announced the 2018 Global Restructuring Program to reduce our structural cost base by streamlining and simplifying our manufacturing supply chain and overhead organization. We expect to close or sell approximately 10 manufacturing facilities and expand production capacity at several others. We expect to exit or divest some lower-margin businesses that generate approximately 1 percent of our net sales. The restructuring is expected to impact our organizations in all major geographies. Workforce reductions are expected to be in the range of 6,300 to 6,400. The restructuring is expected to be completed in 2021, with total costs anticipated to be in the range of $2.0 billion to $2.1 billion pre-tax ($1.5 billion to $1.6 billion after tax). Cash costs are expected to be $1.1 billion to $1.15 billion, primarily related to workforce reductions. Non-cash charges are expected to be $900 to $950 pre-tax and will primarily consist of incremental depreciation, asset write-offs and pension settlement and curtailment charges. Restructuring charges in 2021 are expected to be $180 to $280 pre-tax ($135 to $215 after tax). The following net charges were incurred in connection with the 2018 Global Restructuring Program: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended 2021 2020 2021 2020 Cost of products sold: Charges (adjustments) for workforce reductions $ — $ 1 $ (2) $ 1 Asset impairments — — 3 — Asset write-offs — 3 1 9 Incremental depreciation 4 33 8 68 Other exit costs 21 23 40 52 Total 25 60 50 130 Marketing, research and general expenses: Charges (adjustments) for workforce reductions 16 1 14 (2) Other exit costs 14 26 25 52 Total 30 27 39 50 Other (income) and expense, net 8 — 8 — Nonoperating expense 56 — 56 — Total charges 119 87 153 180 Provision for income taxes (25) (15) (32) (33) Net charges 94 72 121 147 Net impact related to equity companies and noncontrolling interests — — (1) (1) Net charges attributable to Kimberly-Clark Corporation $ 94 $ 72 $ 120 $ 146 The following summarizes the restructuring liabilities activity: 2021 2020 Restructuring liabilities at January 1 $ 93 $ 132 Charges for workforce reductions and other cash exit costs 77 99 Cash payments (98) (122) Currency and other — (3) Restructuring liabilities at June 30 $ 72 $ 106 Restructuring liabilities of $57 and $75 are recorded in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities and $15 and $31 are recorded in Other Liabilities as of June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Mergers, Acquisitions and Dispositions Disclosures | 2020 Acquisition On October 1, 2020 (“Acquisition Date”), we acquired Softex Indonesia, in an all-cash transaction for approximately $1.2 billion. The transaction price, subject to working capital and net debt adjustments, resulted in a preliminary purchase price of $1.1 billion as of December 31, 2020 in addition to the assumption of certain indebtedness of Softex Indonesia at closing. The allocation of purchase consideration related to Softex Indonesia was substantially completed in the fourth quarter of 2020. We continue to evaluate potential contingencies that may have existed as of the acquisition date and expect to finalize the purchase price allocation no later than the fourth quarter of 2021. See Note 3, Acquisition, to the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 for the preliminary purchase price allocation, valuation methodology, and other information related to the Softex Indonesia acquisition. |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Information | Fair Value Information The following fair value information is based on a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The three levels in the hierarchy used to measure fair value are: Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets accessible at the reporting date for identical assets and liabilities. Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets. Quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not considered active or financial instruments for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 – Prices or valuations that require inputs that are significant to the valuation and are unobservable. A financial instrument's level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. During the six months ended June 30, 2021 and for the full year 2020, there were no significant transfers to or from level 3 fair value determinations. Derivative assets and liabilities are measured on a recurring basis at fair value. At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, derivative assets were $41 and $44, respectively, and derivative liabilities were $60 and $92, respectively. The fair values of derivatives used to manage interest rate risk and commodity price risk are based on LIBOR rates and interest rate swap curves and NYMEX price quotations, respectively. The fair values of hedging instruments used to manage foreign currency risk are based on published quotations of spot currency rates and forward points, which are converted into implied forward currency rates. Measurement of our derivative assets and liabilities is considered a level 2 measurement. Additional information on our classification and use of derivative instruments is contained in Note 7. Redeemable preferred securities of subsidiaries are measured on a recurring basis at fair value and were $28 as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. They are not traded in active markets. The fair values of the redeemable securities were based on a discounted cash flow valuation model. Measurement of the redeemable preferred securities is considered a level 3 measurement. Company-owned life insurance ("COLI") assets are measured on a recurring basis at fair value. COLI assets were $73 at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The COLI policies are a source of funding primarily for our nonqualified employee benefits and are included in Other Assets. The COLI policies are measured at fair value using the net asset value per share practical expedient, and therefore, are not classified in the fair value hierarchy. The following table includes the fair value of our financial instruments for which disclosure of fair value is required: Fair Value Hierarchy Level Carrying Amount Estimated Fair Value Carrying Amount Estimated Fair Value June 30, 2021 December 31, 2020 Assets Cash and cash equivalents (a) 1 $ 306 $ 306 $ 303 $ 303 Time deposits (b) 1 369 369 364 364 Liabilities Short-term debt (c) 2 1,180 1,180 223 223 Long-term debt (d) 2 7,904 9,079 8,141 9,627 (a) Cash equivalents are composed of certificates of deposit, time deposits and other interest-bearing investments with original maturity dates of 90 days or less. Cash equivalents are recorded at cost, which approximates fair value. (b) Time deposits are composed of deposits with original maturities of more than 90 days but less than one year and instruments with original maturities of greater than one year, included in Other current assets or Other Assets in the consolidated balance sheet, as appropriate. Time deposits are recorded at cost, which approximates fair value. (c) Short-term debt is composed of U.S. commercial paper and/or other similar short-term debt issued by non-U.S. subsidiaries, all of which are recorded at cost, which approximates fair value. (d) Long-term debt includes the current portion of these debt instruments. Fair values were estimated based on quoted prices for financial instruments for which all significant inputs were observable, either directly or indirectly. |

Equity [Abstract] | |
Stockholders' Equity | Stockholders' Equity Net unrealized currency gains or losses resulting from the translation of assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries, except those in highly inflationary economies, are recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income ("AOCI"). For these operations, changes in exchange rates generally do not affect cash flows; therefore, unrealized translation adjustments are recorded in AOCI rather than net income. Upon sale or substantially complete liquidation of any of these subsidiaries, the applicable unrealized translation would be removed from AOCI and reported as part of the gain or loss on the sale or liquidation. Also included in unrealized translation amounts are the effects of foreign exchange rate changes on intercompany balances of a long-term investment nature and transactions designated as hedges of net foreign investments. The change in net unrealized currency translation for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was primarily due to the weakening of foreign currencies versus the U.S. dollar, particularly the Indonesian rupiah, the Korean won and the euro. The changes in the components of AOCI attributable to Kimberly-Clark, net of tax, are as follows: Unrealized Translation Defined Benefit Pension Plans Other Postretirement Benefit Plans Cash Flow Hedges and Other Balance as of December 31, 2019 $ (2,271) $ (979) $ (13) $ (31) Other comprehensive income (loss) before reclassifications (266) 22 2 17 (Income) loss reclassified from AOCI — 16 (a) (1) (a) (9) Net current period other comprehensive income (loss) (266) 38 1 8 Balance as of June 30, 2020 $ (2,537) $ (941) $ (12) $ (23) Balance as of December 31, 2020 $ (2,157) $ (912) $ (40) $ (63) Other comprehensive income (loss) before (127) 1 (12) 28 (Income) loss reclassified from AOCI — 38 (a) — (a) 29 Net current period other comprehensive income (loss) (127) 39 (12) 57 Balance as of June 30, 2021 $ (2,284) $ (873) $ (52) $ (6) (a) Included in computation of net periodic benefit costs. |

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Objectives And Strategies For Using Derivatives | Objectives and Strategies for Using Derivatives As a multinational enterprise, we are exposed to financial risks, such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates, and commodity prices. We employ a number of practices to manage these risks, including operating and financing activities and, where appropriate, the use of derivative instruments. At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, derivative assets were $41 and $44, respectively, and derivative liabilities were $60 and $92, respectively, primarily comprised of foreign currency exchange contracts. Derivative assets are recorded in Other current assets or Other Assets, as appropriate, and derivative liabilities are recorded in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities or Other Liabilities, as appropriate. Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk Translation adjustments result from translating foreign entities' financial statements into U.S. dollars from their functional currencies. The risk to any particular entity's net assets is reduced to the extent that the entity is financed with local currency borrowings. A portion of our balance sheet translation exposure for certain affiliates, which results from changes in translation rates between the affiliates’ functional currencies and the U.S. dollar, is hedged with cross-currency swap contracts and certain foreign denominated debt which are designated as net investment hedges. The foreign currency exposure on certain non-functional currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities, primarily intercompany loans and accounts payable, is hedged with primarily undesignated derivative instruments. Derivative instruments are entered into to hedge a portion of forecasted cash flows denominated in foreign currencies for non-U.S. operations' purchases of raw materials, which are priced in U.S. dollars, and imports of intercompany finished goods and work-in-process priced predominantly in U.S. dollars and euros. The derivative instruments used to manage these exposures are designated as cash flow hedges. Interest Rate Risk Interest rate risk is managed using a portfolio of variable and fixed-rate debt composed of short and long-term instruments. Interest rate swap contracts may be used to facilitate the maintenance of the desired ratio of variable and fixed-rate debt and are designated as fair value hedges. From time to time, we also hedge the anticipated issuance of fixed-rate debt, and these contracts are designated as cash flow hedges. Commodity Price Risk We use derivative instruments, such as forward contracts, to hedge a limited portion of our exposure to market risk arising from changes in prices of certain commodities. These derivatives are designated as cash flow hedges of specific quantities of the underlying commodity expected to be purchased in future months. In addition, we utilize negotiated short-term contract structures, including fixed price contracts, to manage volatility for a portion of our commodity costs. Fair Value Hedges Derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges are predominantly used to manage interest rate risk. The fair values of these interest rate derivative instruments are recorded as an asset or liability, as appropriate, with the offset recorded in Interest expense. The offset to the change in fair values of the related debt is also recorded in Interest expense. Any realized gain or loss on the derivatives that hedge interest rate risk is amortized to Interest expense over the life of the related debt. As of June 30, 2021, the aggregate notional values and carrying values of debt subject to outstanding interest rate contracts designated as fair value hedges were $625 and $642, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, gains or losses recognized in Interest expense for interest rate swaps were not significant. Cash Flow Hedges For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is initially recorded in AOCI, net of related income taxes, and recognized in earnings in the same income statement line and period that the hedged exposure affects earnings. As of June 30, 2021, outstanding commodity forward contracts were in place to hedge a limited portion of our estimated requirements of the related underlying commodities in the remainder of 2021 and future periods. As of June 30, 2021, the aggregate notional value of outstanding foreign exchange derivative contracts designated as cash flow hedges was $741. For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, no significant gains or losses were reclassified into Interest expense, Cost of products sold or Other (income) and expense, net as a result of the discontinuance of cash flow hedges due to the original forecasted transaction no longer being probable of occurring. At June 30, 2021, amounts to be reclassified from AOCI into Interest expense, Cost of products sold or Other (income) and expense, net during the next twelve months are not expected to be material. The maximum maturity of cash flow hedges in place at June 30, 2021 is June 2023. Net Investment Hedges For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as net investment hedges, the aggregate notional value was 1.5 billion at June 30, 2021. We exclude the interest accruals on cross-currency swap contracts and the forward points on foreign exchange forward contracts from the assessment and measurement of hedge effectiveness. We recognize the interest accruals on cross-currency swap contracts in earnings within Interest expense. We amortize the forward points on foreign exchange contracts into earnings within Interest expense over the life of the hedging relationship. Changes in fair value of net investment hedges are recorded in AOCI and offset the change in the value of the net investment being hedged. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, unrealized gains of $25 related to net investment hedge fair value changes were recorded in AOCI and no significant amounts were reclassified from AOCI to Interest expense. No significant amounts were excluded from the assessment of net investment, fair value or cash flow hedge effectiveness as of June 30, 2021. Undesignated Hedging Instruments Gains or losses on undesignated foreign exchange hedging instruments are immediately recognized in Other (income) and expense, net. Gains of $3 and $12 were recorded in the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. A loss of $6 and gain of $8 were recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. The effect on earnings from the use of these non-designated derivatives is substantially neutralized by the transactional gains and losses recorded on the underlying assets and liabilities. At June 30, 2021, the notional value of these undesignated derivative instruments was approximately $2.3 billion. |
