Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Nature of Operations Macy's, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") is an omnichannel retail organization operating stores, websites and mobile applications under three brands (Macy's, Bloomingdale's and Bluemercury) that sell a wide range of merchandise, including apparel and accessories (men's, women's and children's), cosmetics, home furnishings and other consumer goods. The Company's operations include approximately 880 Macy's, Macy's Backstage, Bloomingdale's, Bloomingdales Outlet and Bluemercury stores in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Guam and Puerto Rico, as well as macys.com, bloomingdales.com and bluemercury.com. In addition, Bloomingdale's in Dubai, United Arab Emirates is operated under a license agreement with Al Tayer Insignia, a company of Al Tayer Group, LLC. A description of the Company's significant accounting policies is included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 30, 2016 (the "2015 10-K"). The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto in the 2015 10-K. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates and assumptions are subject to inherent uncertainties, which may result in actual amounts differing from reported amounts. The Consolidated Financial Statements for the 13 and 26 weeks ended July 30, 2016 and August 1, 2015 , in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary to present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position and results of operations of the Company. Seasonality Because of the seasonal nature of the retail business, the results of operations for the 13 and 26 weeks ended July 30, 2016 and August 1, 2015 (which do not include the Christmas season) are not necessarily indicative of such results for the full fiscal year. Reclassifications Certain reclassifications were made to prior years’ amounts to conform with the classifications of such amounts for the most recent fiscal period. Comprehensive Income Total comprehensive income represents the change in equity during a period from sources other than transactions with shareholders and, as such, includes net income. For the Company, the only other components of total comprehensive income for the 13 and 26 weeks ended July 30, 2016 and August 1, 2015 relate to post employment and postretirement plan items. The settlement charges incurred are included as a separate component of operating expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The amortization reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive loss are included in the computation of net periodic benefit cost (income) and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Income. See Note 4, "Benefit Plans," for further information.

In addition to the stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units reflected in the foregoing tables, stock options to purchase 3.4 million shares of common stock and restricted stock units relating to 1.1 million shares of common stock were outstanding at August 1, 2015 , but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the 13 and 26 weeks ended August 1, 2015 because their inclusion would have been antidilutive or they were subject to performance conditions that had not been met.

This agreement is set to expire May 6, 2021 and replaces the prior agreement which was set to expire May 10, 2018. On August 15, 2016, the Company redeemed at par the principal amount of $108 million of 7.875% senior debentures due 2036, pursuant to the terms of the debentures. Interest expense in the third quarter of 2016 will be lower due to the recognition of unamortized debt premium associated with this debt. During the 26 weeks ended July 30, 2016 , the Company repurchased approximately 3.0 million shares of its common stock pursuant to existing stock purchase authorizations for a total of approximately $129 million , and no shares of its common stock were repurchased during the 13 weeks ended July 30, 2016. As of July 30, 2016 , the Company had $1,903 million of authorization remaining under its share repurchase program. The Company may repurchase shares under its share repurchase program, depending on prevailing market conditions, alternate uses of capital and other factors.

Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Expense [Abstract]
Benefit Plans	Benefit Plans The Company has defined contribution plans which cover substantially all employees who work 1,000 hours or more in a year. In addition, the Company has a funded defined benefit plan ("Pension Plan") and an unfunded defined benefit supplementary retirement plan ("SERP"), which provides benefits, for certain employees, in excess of qualified plan limitations. Effective January 1, 2012, the Pension Plan was closed to new participants, with limited exceptions, and effective January 2, 2012, the SERP was closed to new participants. In February 2013, the Company announced changes to the Pension Plan and SERP whereby eligible employees no longer earn future pension service credits after December 31, 2013, with limited exceptions. All retirement benefits attributable to service in subsequent periods are provided through defined contribution plans. In addition, certain retired employees currently are provided with specified health care and life insurance benefits ("Postretirement Obligations"). Eligibility requirements for such benefits vary, but generally state that benefits are available to eligible employees who were hired prior to a certain date and retire after a certain age with specified years of service. Certain employees are subject to having such benefits modified or terminated. The defined contribution plan expense and actuarially determined components of the net periodic benefit cost (income) associated with the defined benefit plans are as follows: 13 Weeks Ended 26 Weeks Ended July 30, 2016 August 1, 2015 July 30, 2016 August 1, 2015 (millions) 401(k) Qualified Defined Contribution Plan $ 25 $ 24 $ 49 $ 47 Non-Qualified Defined Contribution Plan $ 1 $ 1 $ 1 $ 1 Pension Plan Service cost $ 1 $ 1 $ 2 $ 3 Interest cost 28 34 56 68 Expected return on assets (58 ) (58 ) (114 ) (117 ) Recognition of net actuarial loss 7 9 15 19 Amortization of prior service credit — — — — $ (22 ) $ (14 ) $ (41 ) $ (27 ) Supplementary Retirement Plan Service cost $ — $ — $ — $ — Interest cost 6 8 12 16 Recognition of net actuarial loss 2 2 4 5 Amortization of prior service cost — — — — $ 8 $ 10 $ 16 $ 21 Total Retirement Expense $ 12 $ 21 $ 25 $ 42 Postretirement Obligations Service cost $ — $ — $ — $ — Interest cost 1 2 3 4 Recognition of net actuarial gain (1 ) — (2 ) — Amortization of prior service cost — — — — $ — $ 2 $ 1 $ 4 During the 13 and 26 weeks ended July 30, 2016 , the Company also incurred $6 million and $19 million , respectively, of non-cash settlement charges relating to the Company's defined benefit plans. These charges resulted from an increase in lump sum distributions associated with store closings, a voluntary separation program and organizational restructuring, in addition to periodic distribution activity.

Fair Value, Assets, Liabilities and Stockholders' Equity Measured on Recurring Basis [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements The following table shows the Company's financial assets that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis, by level within the hierarchy as defined by applicable accounting standards: July 30, 2016 August 1, 2015 Fair Value Measurements Fair Value Measurements Total Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1) Significant Observable Inputs (Level 2) Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) Total Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1) Significant Observable Inputs (Level 2) Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) (millions) Marketable equity and debt securities $ 141 $ — $ 141 $ — $ 101 $ — $ 101 $ — Other financial instruments not measured at fair value on a recurring basis include cash and cash equivalents, receivables, short-term debt, merchandise accounts payable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and long-term debt. With the exception of long-term debt, the carrying amount of these financial instruments approximates fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The fair values of long-term debt, excluding capitalized leases, are generally estimated based on quoted market prices for identical or similar instruments, and are classified as Level 2 measurements within the hierarchy as defined by applicable accounting standards. The following table shows the estimated fair value of the Company's long-term debt: July 30, 2016 August 1, 2015 Notional Amount Carrying Amount Fair Value Notional Amount Carrying Amount Fair Value (millions) Long-term debt $ 6,461 $ 6,540 $ 6,822 $ 7,012 $ 7,123 $ 7,585 The Company reviews the carrying value of its goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives at least annually for possible impairment in accordance with ASC Topic 350, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other.” Goodwill has been assigned to reporting units for purposes of impairment testing. The reporting units are the Company's retail operations. Goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives are tested for impairment annually at the end of the fiscal month of May. During the second quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company completed its annual impairment test of goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives. In connection with the preparation of these consolidated financial statements, management concluded that goodwill was not impaired as of May 30, 2016 and approximately $7 million of asset impairment charges for the 13 and 26 weeks ended July 30, 2016 were recognized in relation to indefinite lived tradenames. The fair values of these tradenames were calculated based on the projected cash flows and an estimated risk-adjusted rate of return that would be used by market participants in valuing these assets or prices of similar assets and are classified as Level 3 measurements within the hierarchy as defined by applicable accounting standards. The use of different assumptions, estimates or judgments in the testing process, including with respect to the analysis of macroeconomic conditions, industry, market and other economic considerations and actual and expected financial performance, the estimated future cash flows and the discount rates used to discount such estimated cash flows to their net present values, could materially increase or decrease the estimated fair values and, accordingly, could impact the results of the annual impairment tests. The carrying value of long-lived assets is periodically reviewed by the Company whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that a potential impairment has occurred. For long-lived assets held for use, a potential impairment has occurred if projected future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of the assets. The estimate of cash flows includes management’s assumptions of cash inflows and outflows directly resulting from the use of those assets in operations. When a potential impairment has occurred, an impairment write-down is recorded if the carrying value of the long-lived asset exceeds its fair value. The Company has announced a plan to dispose of approximately 100 Macy’s stores before the end of their previously estimated useful lives as the Company works to optimize its omnichannel approach to customers. As a result, an impairment review of the Company’s long-lived assets was required and estimated cash flows have been revised accordingly. As part of this impairment review during the 13 weeks ended July 30, 2016, long-lived assets held and used with a carrying value of $326 million were written down to their fair value of $106 million , resulting in asset impairment charges of $220 million . The fair values of these locations were calculated based on the projected cash flows and an estimated risk-adjusted rate of return that would be used by market participants in valuing these assets or prices of similar assets and are classified as Level 3 measurements within the hierarchy as defined by applicable accounting standards. Additionally, related liabilities will arise such as severance, contractual obligations and other accruals associated with store closings when the final determination is made regarding which Macy’s stores will be closed. The Company estimates these liabilities based on the facts and circumstances in existence for each restructuring decision. The amounts the Company will ultimately realize or disburse could differ from the amounts assumed in arriving at the asset impairment charges recorded and any restructuring charge recorded in the future. The Company believes its estimated cash flows are sufficient to support the carrying value of its long-lived assets. If estimated cash flows significantly differ in the future, the Company may be required to record additional asset impairment write-downs.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Nature Of Operations	Nature of Operations Macy's, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") is an omnichannel retail organization operating stores, websites and mobile applications under three brands (Macy's, Bloomingdale's and Bluemercury) that sell a wide range of merchandise, including apparel and accessories (men's, women's and children's), cosmetics, home furnishings and other consumer goods. The Company's operations include approximately 880 Macy's, Macy's Backstage, Bloomingdale's, Bloomingdales Outlet and Bluemercury stores in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Guam and Puerto Rico, as well as macys.com, bloomingdales.com and bluemercury.com. In addition, Bloomingdale's in Dubai, United Arab Emirates is operated under a license agreement with Al Tayer Insignia, a company of Al Tayer Group, LLC.
Use Of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates and assumptions are subject to inherent uncertainties, which may result in actual amounts differing from reported amounts. The Consolidated Financial Statements for the 13 and 26 weeks ended July 30, 2016 and August 1, 2015 , in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary to present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position and results of operations of the Company.
Reclassifications	Reclassifications Certain reclassifications were made to prior years’ amounts to conform with the classifications of such amounts for the most recent fiscal period.
Comprehensive Income	Comprehensive Income Total comprehensive income represents the change in equity during a period from sources other than transactions with shareholders and, as such, includes net income. For the Company, the only other components of total comprehensive income for the 13 and 26 weeks ended July 30, 2016 and August 1, 2015 relate to post employment and postretirement plan items. The settlement charges incurred are included as a separate component of operating expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The amortization reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive loss are included in the computation of net periodic benefit cost (income) and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Income. See Note 4, "Benefit Plans," for further information.
