Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Summary of Accounting Policies	Summary of Accounting Policies
	The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of DST Systems, Inc. (“we”, “our”, “us”, the “Company” or “DST”) included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although we believe that the disclosures are adequate to enable a reasonable understanding of the information presented. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.
	In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly state the consolidated financial position and the results of operations, comprehensive income and cash flows for the periods presented.
	Certain amounts in the 2014 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2015 presentation. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year 2015.
	Segment presentation
	Beginning in 2015, we modified our reportable segment presentation to reflect changes in how we now operate the business and make resource allocations. Certain operations, including the electronic presentment services for our financial services customers and our retirement plan participant communications and enrollment materials services, are now presented in the Financial Services segment rather than the Customer Communications segment. Additionally, real estate utilized principally by our business operations has been moved from our Investments and Other segment to the respective segment that utilizes the property. Real estate which is primarily occupied by third parties or unoccupied remains within the Investments and Other segment under the revised presentation. Prior periods have been revised to reflect the new reportable segments.
	New authoritative accounting guidance
	In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance which requires debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The guidance is effective January 1, 2016 with early adoption permitted. The guidance is a change in financial statement presentation only and will not have a material impact on the consolidated financial results. At March 31, 2015, the Company had approximately $4.2 million of debt issuance costs, net included in Other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
	In February 2015, the FASB issued an accounting standard update, “Consolidation (Topic 810) - Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis.” The new consolidation guidance changes the way reporting enterprises evaluate whether (a) they should consolidate limited partnerships and similar entities, (b) fees paid to a decision maker or service provider are variable interests in a VIE, and (c) variable interests in a VIE held by related parties of the reporting enterprise require the reporting enterprise to consolidate the VIE. It also eliminates the VIE consolidation model based on majority exposure to variability that applied to certain investment companies and similar entities. The guidance is effective for us for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. We are currently evaluating the standard and the impact it will have on our consolidated financial statements.
	In May 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standard, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” This standard will replace the existing accounting standard for revenue recognition and is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. In April 2015, the FASB proposed a one year delay of the effective date. If approved, the new standard will be effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early application of this standard is not permitted. This standard permits two transition approaches, either the retrospective transition method or the cumulative effect transition method. The Company is currently evaluating the standard, including which transition approach will be applied and the estimated impact it will have on the consolidated financial statements.

	At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the carrying value of our available-for-sale investments was $367.9 million and $475.5 million, respectively. Deferred tax liabilities associated with the available-for-sale investments were approximately $100.6 million and $138.9 million at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, we received $105.6 million and $69.0 million, respectively, from the sale of investments in available-for-sale securities.  Gross realized gains of $75.6 million and $46.1 million and gross realized losses of $1.5 million and $0.1 million were recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, from the sale of available-for-sale securities.
	A decline in an available-for-sale security’s net realizable value that is other than temporary is treated as a loss based on quoted or derived market value and is reflected in Other income, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income. We had no such losses for the three months ended March 31, 2015, compared to $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014.
	The following table summarizes the fair value and gross unrealized losses of the Company’s investments by the length of time that the securities have been in a continuous loss position at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (in millions):

	We are a limited partner in various private equity funds which are primarily accounted for using the cost method.  At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, our carrying value of these private equity fund investments was approximately $132.4 million and $141.4 million, respectively.  At March 31, 2015, we had future capital commitments related to these private equity fund investments of approximately $5.9 million. Additionally, we have other investments with a carrying value of $14.6 million at both March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we received a $33.2 million cash dividend from a cost method investment in a privately-held company that was subsequently sold in 2014.
	We record lower of cost or market valuation adjustments on cost method and other investments when impairment conditions, such as, adverse market conditions or poor performance of the underlying investment, are present. We recorded no impairments on cost method and other investments during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and $0.3 million of impairments during the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements
	Authoritative accounting guidance on fair value measurements establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value.  These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.
	As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we held certain investment assets and certain liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis.  These investment assets include our money market funds, available-for-sale equity securities and trading securities whereby fair value is determined using quoted prices in active markets.  Accordingly, the fair value measurements of these investments have been classified as Level 1.  Fair value for deferred compensation liabilities that are credited with deemed gains or losses of the underlying hypothetical investments, primarily equity securities, have been classified as Level 1.  In addition, we have investments in pooled funds and interest rate and foreign currency derivative instruments that are required to be reported at fair value.  Fair value for investments in pooled funds is determined using net asset value.  Fair value for the derivative instruments was determined using inputs from quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets that are directly or indirectly observable.  Accordingly, our investments in pooled funds and derivative instruments have been classified as Level 2.
	The following tables present assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in millions):

	The outstanding amount under the program was $90.0 million and $120.0 million at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014.  During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, total proceeds from the accounts receivable securitization program were approximately $236.1 million and $240.8 million, respectively, and total repayments were approximately $266.1 million and $240.8 million, respectively.
	Revolving credit facilities
	At March 31, 2015, the syndicated line of credit facility provides for revolving unsecured credit in an aggregate principal amount of up to $850.0 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, total proceeds from our revolving credit facilities were approximately $291.8 million and $108.1 million, respectively, and total repayments were approximately $300.1 million and $118.5 million respectively, which comprise the net cash flows presented within the financing section of the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.
	Fair value
	Based upon the borrowing rates currently available to us for indebtedness with similar terms and average maturities, the carrying value of long-term debt, with the exception of the Senior Notes, is considered to approximate fair value.  The estimated fair values of the Senior Notes were derived principally from quoted prices for similar financial instruments (Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy).

Income Taxes	Income Taxes
	We record income tax expense during interim periods based on our best estimate of the full year’s tax rate as adjusted for discrete items, if any, that are taken into account in the relevant interim period.  Each quarter, we update our estimate of the annual effective tax rate and any change in the estimated rate is recorded on a cumulative basis. Our tax rate was 37.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to 37.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2014.
	Our estimated annual effective full year 2015 tax rate will vary from the statutory federal rate primarily as a result of variances among the estimates and actual amounts of full year sources of taxable income (e.g., domestic consolidated, joint venture and/or international), the realization of tax credits (e.g., research and experimentation, foreign tax and state incentive), adjustments which may arise from the resolution of tax matters under review and our assessment of our liability for uncertain tax positions.

No shares from options to purchase common stock were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation because they were anti-dilutive for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.
	Share based compensation
	We have share based compensation plans covering our employees and non-employee directors.  During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we granted approximately 0.3 million restricted stock units (“RSU’s”), of which approximately 0.2 million are performance stock units.  Additionally, during the three months ended March 31, 2015, we had 0.1 million RSU’s vest as the result of the completion of the service requirements or achievement of the service and performance features of the awards, as applicable. At March 31, 2015, we had 0.9 million unvested RSU’s and 0.6 million stock options outstanding.
	We recognized share based compensation expense of $6.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2015, as compared to $4.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014.  At March 31, 2015, we had $58.2 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to our share based compensation arrangements, net of estimated forfeitures.  We estimate that compensation expense recognition attributable to currently outstanding stock option and restricted stock unit grants will be approximately $24.3 million for the remainder of 2015, $17.1 million for 2016, $6.3 million for 2017 and $0.7 million for 2018. Future expense recognition is not projected on approximately $9.8 million of unrecognized compensation expense as the related awards are not currently expected to achieve their required performance features and therefore not expected to vest.

	One of our unconsolidated affiliates had an interest rate swap liability with a fair market value of $52.2 million and $50.2 million at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.  The unconsolidated affiliate used inputs from quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets that are directly or indirectly observable relating to the measurement of the interest rate swap.  Our 50% proportionate share of this interest rate swap liability was $26.1 million and $25.1 million at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.  We record our proportionate share of this liability in an amount not to exceed the carrying value of our investment in this unconsolidated affiliate. Because the carrying value of this unconsolidated affiliate investment balance was zero at both March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, no change in the interest rate swap liability was recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
	Stock repurchases
	On January 28, 2015, our Board of Directors authorized a new $250.0 million share repurchase plan, which allows, but does not require, the repurchase of common stock in open market and private transactions. We repurchased approximately 0.8 million shares of DST common stock for $75.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2015, of which $50.0 million was repurchased under a previous share repurchase plan. The remaining $25.0 million was repurchased under the new $250.0 million share repurchase plan. There was approximately $225.0 million remaining under our existing share repurchase plan at March 31, 2015. We did not repurchase any shares of DST common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2014.
	Shares received in exchange for satisfaction of the option exercise price and for tax withholding obligations arising from the exercise of options to purchase the Company’s stock or from the vesting of restricted stock shares are included in common stock repurchased in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.  The amount of such share receipts and withholdings for option exercises and restricted stock vesting was $4.0 million and $5.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
	Dividends
	On January 28, 2015, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.30 per common share. Total dividends paid for the three months ended March 31, 2015 were $11.1 million.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies
	We have letters of credit and bank guarantees of $9.6 million outstanding at both March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.  Letters of credit are secured by our debt facilities.
	We have entered into agreements with certain officers whereby upon defined circumstances constituting a change in control of the Company, certain benefit entitlements are automatically funded and such officers are entitled to specific cash payments upon termination of employment. We have also established trusts to provide for the funding of corporate commitments and entitlements of Company officers, directors, employees and others in the event of a change in control of the Company. Assets held in such trusts at both March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were not significant.  We have adopted the DST Systems, Inc. Executive Severance Plan which provides certain benefits to participants in the event of a qualifying termination under the plan.
	We are involved in various legal proceedings arising in the normal course of our businesses. While the ultimate outcome of these legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, it is the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, that the final outcome in such proceedings, in the aggregate, would not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
	In the normal course of business, to facilitate transactions of services and products and other business assets, we have agreed to indemnify certain parties with respect to certain matters. We have agreed to hold certain parties harmless against losses arising from a breach of representations or covenants, or out of intellectual property infringement or other claims made by third parties. These agreements may limit the time within which an indemnification claim can be made and the amount of the claim. Except for a $2.1 million liability established in connection with the indemnification of certain matters associated with the sale of a business and an $0.8 million liability recorded associated with a performance guarantee on a franchise agreement, which were both accrued at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, no liabilities have been established for guarantees or indemnifications as it is not possible to determine either the maximum potential amount under these indemnification agreements or the timing of any such payments due to the limited history of prior indemnification claims and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular agreement. Historically, payments made under these agreements have not had a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
	On April 7, 2015, we agreed to acquire asset manager Red Rocks Capital LLC, a leader in listed private equity and other private asset investments, for $45.0 million of upfront cash consideration and up to $20.0 million of performance related contingent consideration. The closing of this transaction is expected to occur in the second half of 2015.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment Information	Segment Information
	Our operating business units offer sophisticated information processing and software services and products. We present these businesses as three operating segments, Financial Services, Healthcare Services and Customer Communications.  Investments in our equity securities, private equity investments, real estate and certain financial interests are included in the Investments and Other segment.
	As mentioned in Note 1, beginning in 2015, we modified our reportable segment presentation to reflect changes in how our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) now operates the business and makes resource allocations. Due to modifications in how we are managing our businesses, certain operations, including the electronic presentment services for our financial services customers and our retirement plan participant communications and enrollment materials services, are now presented in the Financial Services Segment rather than the Customer Communications Segment. Additionally, real estate utilized principally by our business operations has been moved from our Investments and Other Segment to the segment that utilizes the property. Real estate which is primarily occupied by third parties or unoccupied remains within the Investments and Other Segment under the revised presentation. Prior periods have been revised to reflect the new reportable segments.
	Information concerning total assets by reporting segment is as follows (in millions):

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
New authoritative accounting guidance	New authoritative accounting guidance
	In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance which requires debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The guidance is effective January 1, 2016 with early adoption permitted. The guidance is a change in financial statement presentation only and will not have a material impact on the consolidated financial results. At March 31, 2015, the Company had approximately $4.2 million of debt issuance costs, net included in Other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
	In February 2015, the FASB issued an accounting standard update, “Consolidation (Topic 810) - Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis.” The new consolidation guidance changes the way reporting enterprises evaluate whether (a) they should consolidate limited partnerships and similar entities, (b) fees paid to a decision maker or service provider are variable interests in a VIE, and (c) variable interests in a VIE held by related parties of the reporting enterprise require the reporting enterprise to consolidate the VIE. It also eliminates the VIE consolidation model based on majority exposure to variability that applied to certain investment companies and similar entities. The guidance is effective for us for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. We are currently evaluating the standard and the impact it will have on our consolidated financial statements.
	In May 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standard, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” This standard will replace the existing accounting standard for revenue recognition and is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. In April 2015, the FASB proposed a one year delay of the effective date. If approved, the new standard will be effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early application of this standard is not permitted. This standard permits two transition approaches, either the retrospective transition method or the cumulative effect transition method. The Company is currently evaluating the standard, including which transition approach will be applied and the estimated impact it will have on the consolidated financial statements.
