| EBP, Description of Plan [Line Items] | |
| Accounting Principles | Accounting Principles The financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). |
| Contributions | Contributions Participant Contributions Participants may contribute to the Plan on a pre-tax basis using eligible compensation each pay period. Participants reaching age 50 or older by the end of the Plan year may also elect to make additional catch-up contributions to the Plan on a pre-tax basis. Additionally, participants may make contributions on an after-tax basis which may not exceed 10 percent of the aggregate compensation paid to the employee during all the years they have been a Plan participant. Participants may choose to make rollover contributions representing distributions from other Puerto Rico qualified plans. All contributions are subject to certain Puerto Rico Internal Revenue Code (“PRIRC”) limitations and the limitations set forth in the Plan document. Effective July 2016, the investment of new contributions or transfer of existing account holdings into Microsoft Common Stock within the Plan was discontinued. Participant accounts with existing Microsoft Common Stock can retain those holdings, and dividends on Microsoft Common Stock can continue to be reinvested. Participant contributions are recorded when withheld. Employer Contributions The Sponsor provides participants with a matching contribution on eligible pre-tax contributions up to 50 percent of the amount of the participant’s contribution. The maximum participant contribution amount eligible to be matched is 6 percent of eligible compensation as defined by the Plan. Participants do not receive a match on after-tax contributions. Employer matching contributions are recorded when participant contributions are withheld. |
| Distributions | Distributions Active participants may take a withdrawal from the Plan in the event of a financial hardship. A hardship withdrawal is limited to pre-tax and catch-up contribution accounts. A hardship withdrawal will generally result in a twelve-month suspension of pre-tax and after-tax contributions to the Plan. After reaching age 59½, active participants may withdraw all, or any portion, of the balance in their accounts, including withdrawals from their rollover and after-tax account types within the Plan, without meeting one of the hardship criteria. Distributions, in full or any portion, may also occur if the participant terminates employment, retires, becomes permanently disabled, or dies. Distributions of investments are in the form of cash and are normally made in a lump sum, unless periodic payments are elected (monthly, quarterly, semiannual, or annual installments of substantially equal amounts over a period not to exceed 10 years). There were no participants who elected to withdraw from the Plan that had not yet been paid as of December 31, 2025 or 2024. |
| Administrative Expenses | Administrative Expenses Plan administrative expenses are paid by the Sponsor to the extent not paid or offset by the Plan, as provided in the Plan document. Participants are responsible for fees associated with certain transactions such as loan originations and maintenance. |
| Risks and Uncertainties | Risks and Uncertainties The Plan utilizes various investment instruments, including common stock and mutual funds. Investment securities, in general, are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate risk, credit risk, and overall market volatility. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, including systemic market disruptions and geopolitical events, it is reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. |
| Estimates and Assumptions | Estimates and Assumptions The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and changes therein. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management’s estimates and assumptions due to risks and uncertainties. The Plan has no contingent assets or liabilities for any periods presented in these financial statements. |
| Valuation of Investments and Income (Loss) Recognition | Valuation of Investments and Income (Loss) Recognition Investments are recorded at fair value. Security transactions are accounted for as of the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, and interest income is recorded as earned. Net increase in fair value of investments includes the Plan’s gains and losses on investments bought, sold, and held during the year. |
| Participant Loans | Participant Loans Participant loans are measured at their unpaid principal balance plus any accrued but unpaid interest, and participant loans deemed distributed due to default are included in benefits paid to participants on the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits. |
