Accounting Policies	Dec. 31, 2013
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Accounting Policies	Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The Consolidated Financial Statements present the accounts of Kimberly-Clark Corporation and all subsidiaries in which it has a controlling financial interest as if they were a single economic entity in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). All intercompany transactions and accounts are eliminated in consolidation. The terms "Corporation," "Kimberly-Clark," "we," "our," and "us" refer to Kimberly-Clark Corporation and all subsidiaries in which it has a controlling financial interest. Dollar amounts are reported in millions, except per share dollar amounts, unless otherwise noted. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates, and changes in these estimates are recorded when known. Estimates are used in accounting for, among other things, consumer and trade promotion and rebate accruals, pension and other postretirement benefits, future cash flows associated with impairment testing for goodwill and long-lived assets, and deferred tax assets and potential income tax assessments. Cash Equivalents Cash equivalents are short-term investments with an original maturity date of three months or less. Inventories and Distribution Costs Most U.S. inventories are valued at the lower of cost, using the Last-In, First-Out (LIFO) method, or market. The balance of the U.S. inventories and inventories of consolidated operations outside the U.S. are valued at the lower of cost, using either the First-In, First-Out (FIFO) or weighted-average cost methods, or market. Distribution costs are classified as cost of products sold. Property and Depreciation Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated on the straight-line method. Buildings are depreciated over their estimated useful lives, primarily 40 years. Machinery and equipment are depreciated over their estimated useful lives, primarily ranging from 16 to 20 years. Purchases of computer software, including external costs and certain internal costs (including payroll and payroll-related costs of employees) directly associated with developing significant computer software applications for internal use, are capitalized. Computer software costs are amortized on the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the software, which generally does not exceed 5 years. Estimated useful lives are periodically reviewed and, when warranted, changes are made to them. Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss would be indicated when estimated undiscounted future cash flows from the use and eventual disposition of an asset group, which are identifiable and largely independent of the cash flows of other asset groups, are less than the carrying amount of the asset group. Measurement of an impairment loss would be based on the excess of the carrying amount of the asset group over its fair value. Fair value is measured using discounted cash flows or independent appraisals, as appropriate. When property is sold or retired, the cost of the property and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the Consolidated Balance Sheet and any gain or loss on the transaction is included in income. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Goodwill represents costs in excess of fair values assigned to the underlying net assets of acquired businesses. Goodwill is not amortized, but rather is tested for impairment annually and whenever events and circumstances indicate that impairment may have occurred. During the third quarter of 2013, we changed the measurement date for our annual goodwill impairment test from the beginning of the fourth quarter to the beginning of the third quarter. This change did not result in the delay, acceleration or avoidance of an impairment charge. We believe this timing is preferable as it better aligns the goodwill impairment test with our strategic business planning process, which is a key component of the goodwill impairment test. The change was applied prospectively, as retrospective application would have been impractical because we are unable to objectively select assumptions that would have been used in previous periods without the benefit of hindsight. Impairment testing compares the reporting unit carrying amount of goodwill with its fair value. Fair value is estimated based on discounted cash flows. If the reporting unit carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge would be recorded. We have completed the required annual testing of goodwill for impairment for all reporting units and have determined that goodwill is not impaired. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives and are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Estimated useful lives range from 2 to 30 years for trademarks, 5 to 17 years for patents and developed technologies, and 5 to 16 years for other intangible assets. An impairment loss would be indicated when estimated undiscounted future cash flows from the use of the asset are less than its carrying amount. An impairment loss would be measured as the difference between the fair value (based on discounted future cash flows) and the carrying amount of the asset. Investments in Equity Companies Investments in companies which we do not control but over which we have the ability to exercise significant influence and that, in general, are at least 20 percent-owned by us, are stated at cost plus equity in undistributed net income. These investments are evaluated for impairment when warranted. An impairment loss would be recorded whenever a decline in value of an equity investment below its carrying amount is determined to be other than temporary. In judging "other than temporary," we would consider the length of time and extent to which the fair value of the equity company investment has been less than the carrying amount, the near-term and longer-term operating and financial prospects of the equity company, and our longer-term intent of retaining the investment in the equity company. Revenue Recognition Sales revenue is recognized at the time of product shipment or delivery, depending on when title passes, to unaffiliated customers, and when all of the following have occurred: a firm sales agreement is in place, pricing is fixed or determinable, and collection is reasonably assured. Sales are reported net of returns, consumer and trade promotions, rebates and freight allowed. Taxes imposed by governmental authorities on our revenue-producing activities with customers, such as sales taxes and value-added taxes, are excluded from net sales. Sales Incentives and Trade Promotion Allowances The cost of promotion activities provided to customers is classified as a reduction in sales revenue. In addition, the estimated redemption value of consumer coupons is recorded at the time the coupons are issued and classified as a reduction in sales revenue. Estimates of trade promotion liabilities for promotional program costs incurred, but unpaid, are generally based on estimates of the quantity of customer sales, timing of promotional activities and forecasted costs for activities within the promotional programs. Advertising Expense Advertising costs are expensed in the year the related advertisement or campaign is first presented by the media. For interim reporting purposes, advertising expenses are charged to operations as a percentage of sales based on estimated sales and related advertising expense for the full year. Research Expense Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred. Environmental Expenditures Environmental expenditures related to current operations that qualify as property, plant and equipment or which substantially increase the economic value or extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized, and all other environmental expenditures are expensed as incurred. Liabilities are recorded when environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts are probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. Generally, the timing of these accruals coincides with completion of a feasibility study or a commitment to a formal plan of action. Liabilities for future expenditures for environmental remediation obligations are not discounted and do not reflect any anticipated recoveries from insurers. Foreign Currency Translation The income statements of foreign operations, other than those in highly inflationary economies, are translated into U.S. dollars at rates of exchange in effect each month. The balance sheets of these operations are translated at period-end exchange rates, and the differences from historical exchange rates are reflected in stockholders' equity as unrealized translation adjustments. The income statements and balance sheets of operations in highly inflationary economies are translated into U.S. dollars using both current and historical rates of exchange. We account for our operations in Venezuela using highly inflationary accounting. On February 13, 2013, the Venezuelan government announced a devaluation of the Central Bank of Venezuela ("Central Bank") regulated currency exchange system rate to 6.3 bolivars per U.S. dollar and the elimination of the SITME rate. As a result of the devaluation, we recorded a $26 after tax charge ($36 pre-tax) related to the remeasurement of the local currency-denominated balance sheet to the new exchange rate in 2013. Prior to this devaluation, we used the Central Bank SITME rate of 5.4 bolivars per U.S. dollar to measure K-C Venezuela's bolivar-denominated transactions into U.S. dollars. The $36 pre-tax charge is reflected in the Consolidated Income Statement in other (income) and expense, net for the year ended December 31, 2013. In the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement, this non-cash charge is included in other in cash provided by operations. At December 31, 2013, K-C Venezuela had a bolivar-denominated net monetary asset position of $309 and our net investment in K-C Venezuela was $445, both valued at 6.3 bolivars per U.S. dollar. Net sales of K-C Venezuela represented approximately 2 percent of consolidated net sales for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 and approximately 1 percent of consolidated net sales for the year ended December 31, 2011. Derivative Instruments and Hedging All derivative instruments are recorded as assets or liabilities on the balance sheet at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are either recorded in the income statement or other comprehensive income, as appropriate. The gain or loss on derivatives designated as fair value hedges and the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are included in income in the period that changes in fair value occur. The effective portion of the gain or loss on derivatives designated as cash flow hedges is included in other comprehensive income in the period that changes in fair value occur, and is reclassified to income in the same period that the hedged item affects income. The gain or loss on derivatives designated as hedges of investments in foreign subsidiaries is recognized in other comprehensive income to offset the change in value of the net investments being hedged. Any ineffective portion of cash flow hedges and net investment hedges is immediately recognized in income. Certain foreign-currency derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments have been entered into to manage a portion of our foreign currency transactional exposures. The gain or loss on these derivatives is included in income in the period that changes in their fair values occur. Our policies allow the use of derivatives for risk management purposes and prohibit their use for speculation. Our policies also prohibit the use of any leveraged derivative instrument. Consistent with our policies, foreign currency derivative instruments, interest rate swaps and locks, and the majority of commodity hedging contracts are entered into with major financial institutions. At inception we formally designate certain derivatives as cash flow, fair value or net investment hedges and establish how the effectiveness of these hedges will be assessed and measured. This process links the derivatives to the transactions or financial balances they are hedging. Changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated as hedging instruments are recorded in earnings as they occur. See Note 14 for disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities. New Accounting Standards In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income ("AOCI"), an amendment to FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 220, Comprehensive Income. This update requires disclosure of amounts reclassified out of AOCI by component. In addition, an entity is required to present either on the face of the statement of operations or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of AOCI by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For amounts not reclassified to net income in their entirety, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures that provide additional detail about those amounts. We adopted ASU No. 2013-02 on January 1, 2013.

Restructuring and Related Activities Disclosure	Proposed Spin-Off of Health Care Business In November 2013, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized management to pursue a potential tax-free spin-off of our health care business. A spin-off would create a stand-alone, publicly traded health care company with approximately $1.6 billion in annual net sales, focused on the sale of surgical and infection prevention products for the operating room and other medical supplies, and medical devices focused on pain management, respiratory and digestive health. Although our current target is to complete the spin-off by the end of the third quarter of 2014, there are no assurances as to when the proposed spin-off will be completed, if at all, or if the spin-off will be completed based on the expected plans.

European Strategic Changes [Member]

Restructuring Cost and Reserve

In 2012, we approved strategic changes related to our Western and Central European consumer and professional businesses to focus our resources and investments on stronger market positions and growth opportunities. We have exited the diaper category in that region, with the exception of the Italian market, and divested or exited some lower-margin businesses, mostly in consumer tissue, in certain markets. The changes primarily affect our consumer businesses, with a modest impact on K-C Professional ("KCP"). The restructuring actions commenced in 2012 and are expected to be completed by December 31, 2014.

Restructuring actions related to the strategic changes involve the sale or closure of five of our European manufacturing facilities and streamlining our administrative organization. The following charges were incurred in connection with the European strategic changes:



	Year Ended December 31
	2013			2012
Asset impairments	$	22		$	147
Charges for workforce reductions	10			77
Asset write-offs	13			10
Incremental depreciation	18			8
Benefit from pension curtailment	(31		)	—
Other exit costs	22			8
Cost of products sold	54			250
Charges for workforce reductions and other exit costs included in marketing, research and general expenses and other (income) and expense, net	27			49
Provision for income taxes	(15		)	(57		)
Net charges	$	66		$	242

The measurement of the charge for asset impairments was based on the excess of the carrying value of the impacted asset groups over their fair values. These fair values were measured using discounted cash flows, expected over the limited time the assets would remain in use, and as a result, the assets were essentially written off. The use of the discounted cash flows represents a level 3 measure under the fair value hierarchy.

See Note 17 for charges related to the European strategic changes by segment.

The following summarizes the cash charges recorded and reconciles these charges to accrued expenses:



	2013			2012

Restructuring Cost and Reserve
Restructuring and Related Activities Disclosure	Pulp and Tissue Restructuring Actions In 2011 and 2012, we executed pulp and tissue restructuring actions in order to exit our remaining integrated pulp manufacturing operations and improve the underlying profitability and return on invested capital of our consumer tissue and KCP businesses. These actions involved the streamlining, sale or closure of seven of our manufacturing facilities around the world. In conjunction with these actions, we exited certain non-strategic products, primarily non-branded offerings, and transferred some production to lower-cost facilities in order to improve overall profitability and returns. The actions were substantially complete at December 31, 2012. During 2012, charges of $128, $6 and $1 were recorded in cost of products sold, marketing, research and general expenses and other (income) and expense, net, respectively, for the restructuring actions. A related benefit of $49 was recorded in provision for income taxes. On a geographic basis, charges of $97, $35 and $3 were recorded in the United States, Australia and elsewhere, respectively. During 2011, charges of $407, $6 and $2 were recorded in cost of products sold, marketing, research and general expenses and other (income) and expense, net, respectively, for the restructuring actions. A related benefit of $126 was recorded in provision for income taxes. On a geographic basis, charges of $204, $133 and $78 were recorded in the United States, Australia and elsewhere, respectively.

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 2013 and 2012, there were no significant transfers among level 1, 2 or 3 fair value determinations.

Set forth below are the assets and liabilities that are measured on a recurring basis at fair value and the inputs used to develop those fair value measurements.

The COLI policies are a source of funding primarily for our nonqualified employee benefits and are included in other assets. Available-for-sale securities are included in other assets. See Note 14 for information on the classification of derivatives in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Level 1 Fair Values—The fair values of certain available-for-sale securities are based on quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets.

Level 2 Fair Values—The fair value of the COLI policies is derived from investments in a mix of money market, fixed income and equity funds managed by unrelated fund managers. 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 value of hedging instruments used to manage foreign currency risk is based on published quotations of spot currency rates and forward points, which are converted into implied forward currency rates. Additional information on our use of derivative instruments is contained in Note 14.

The following table includes the fair value of our financial instruments for which disclosure of fair value is required:

(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 comprised 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)

The note, monetization loan and redeemable preferred securities of subsidiaries are not traded in active markets. Accordingly, their fair values were calculated using a floating rate pricing model that compared the stated spread to the fair value spread to determine the price at which each of the financial instruments should trade. The model used the following inputs to calculate fair values: face value, current LIBOR rate, unobservable fair value credit spread, stated spread, maturity date and interest or dividend payment dates. See Note 8 for additional information.


(d)	Short-term debt is comprised 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.


(e)	Long-term debt includes the current portion of these debt instruments and excludes the monetization loan. Fair values were estimated based on quoted prices for financial instruments for which all significant inputs were observable, either directly or indirectly.


(f)	The fair value of the redeemable common securities of subsidiary was based on various inputs, including an independent third-party appraisal, adjusted for current market conditions.

The entire disclosure for the fair value of financial instruments (as defined), including financial assets and financial liabilities (collectively, as defined), and the measurements of those instruments as well as disclosures related to the fair value of non-financial assets and liabilities. Such disclosures about the financial instruments, assets, and liabilities would include: (1) the fair value of the required items together with their carrying amounts (as appropriate); (2) for items for which it is not practicable to estimate fair value, disclosure would include: (a) information pertinent to estimating fair value (including, carrying amount, effective interest rate, and maturity, and (b) the reasons why it is not practicable to estimate fair value; (3) significant concentrations of credit risk including: (a) information about the activity, region, or economic characteristics identifying a concentration, (b) the maximum amount of loss the entity is exposed to based on the gross fair value of the related item, (c) policy for requiring collateral or other security and information as to accessing such collateral or security, and (d) the nature and brief description of such collateral or security; (4) quantitative information about market risks and how such risks are managed; (5) for items measured on both a recurring and nonrecurring basis information regarding the inputs used to develop the fair value measurement; and (6) for items presented in the financial statement for which fair value measurement is elected: (a) information necessary to understand the reasons for the election, (b) discussion of the effect of fair value changes on earnings, (c) a description of [similar groups] items for which the election is made and the relation thereof to the balance sheet, the aggregate carrying value of items included in the balance sheet that are not eligible for the election; (7) all other required (as defined) and desired information.

In 2006, we issued $200 of dealer remarketable securities that have a final maturity in 2016. The remarketing provisions of these debt instruments require that each year the securities either be remarketed by the dealer or repaid. In both 2012 and 2013, the dealer exercised its option to remarket the securities for another year, and remarketed the securities to third parties.

We maintain a $1.5 billion revolving credit facility, scheduled to expire in October 2016, as well as the option to increase this facility by an additional $500. This facility, currently unused, supports our commercial paper program and would provide liquidity in the event our access to the commercial paper market is unavailable for any reason.

Redeemable Preferred and Common Securities of Subsidiaries	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2013
Redeemable Preferred and Common Securities of Subsidiaries [Abstract]
Redeemable Preferred and Common Securities of Subsidiaries	Redeemable Preferred and Common Securities of Subsidiaries Monetization Financing Entity Prior to December 2013, we had a minority voting interest in a financing entity used to monetize a note receivable received from the sale of nonstrategic timberlands and related assets to a nonaffiliated buyer. We were the primary beneficiary of the entity and, accordingly, consolidated the entity in our Consolidated Financial Statements. The note receivable has a face value of $397 and is backed by an irrevocable standby letter of credit issued by a money center bank. The note receivable matures on September 30, 2014 and earns interest at LIBOR plus 75 bps. The note receivable and other assets were transferred to the financing entity in 1999. A nonaffiliated financial institution made a substantive capital investment in the financing entity and had majority voting control over it. The nonaffiliated financial institution also made a monetization loan of $397 to us, which was assumed by the financing entity at the time the note receivable was transferred to the financing entity. The monetization loan was secured by the note receivable and intercompany financial instruments, which served as secondary collateral for the monetization loan. The monetization loan had a maturity date of January 31, 2014, and had an interest rate of LIBOR plus 150 bps. In December 2013, the financing entity was restructured and its assets were divided. The restructuring resulted in the financial institution acquiring ownership rights to most of the note receivable and assuming the monetization loan of $397. In addition, as part of the restructuring, the financial institution acquired $26 face value of redeemable preferred securities issued by one of our subsidiaries, recorded at their transfer-date fair value. Under the restructuring, we became the owners of any assets that were previously part of the financing entity that are not owned by the financial institution. Net cash payments to restructure the financing entity and divide its assets totaled $24 in 2013, which was included in other in cash used for financing in the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement. In addition, on July 7, 2011, we collected the face value of a note receivable of $220 in cash held by another financing entity in which we acquired the voting equity interest of the nonaffiliated financial institution and its monetization loan rights in November 2009. Luxembourg-Based Financing Subsidiary In February 2001, we, together with a non-affiliated third party entity (the "Third Party"), formed a Luxembourg-based financing subsidiary. We are the primary beneficiary of the subsidiary and, accordingly, consolidate the subsidiary in our Consolidated Financial Statements. Prior to December 2011, the Third Party had investments in two classes of voting-preferred securities issued by the subsidiary (the "Preferred Securities"). The two classes of Preferred Securities, Class A-1 and Class A-2, had a par value of $500 each for an aggregate of $1 billion. The Class A-1 and Class A-2 Preferred Securities accrue a fixed annual rate of return of 5.074 percent and 5.417 percent, respectively, which is paid on a quarterly basis. In December 2011, the subsidiary redeemed the Class A-1 Preferred Securities. The Class A-2 Preferred Securities are redeemable in December 2014. At December 31, 2013, the Preferred Securities represent 96 percent of the voting power of the subsidiary. In December 2013, the subsidiary elected to redeem the Class A-2 Preferred Securities in December 2014. As a result, the $500 redemption value of the Class A-2 Preferred Securities is included in current liabilities as of December 31, 2013 in our Consolidated Balance Sheet. The subsidiary also has issued voting-preferred and common securities to Kimberly-Clark for total cash proceeds of $500. These securities are entitled to a combined four percent vote, and the common securities are entitled to all of the residual equity after satisfaction of the preferred interests. Approximately 98 percent of the total cash contributed to the entity has been loaned to Kimberly-Clark. These long-term loans bear fixed annual interest rates. The funds remaining in the financing subsidiary are primarily invested in equity-based exchange-traded funds. The preferred and common securities of the subsidiary held by Kimberly-Clark and the intercompany loans have been eliminated in our Consolidated Financial Statements. The return on the Preferred Securities was $27, $27 and $52 in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, which is included in net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in our Consolidated Income Statement. Neither the Third Party nor creditors of the subsidiary have recourse to our general credit. If our credit ratings are downgraded below BBB- or Baa3, then the loans become payable to the financing subsidiary to the extent necessary to enable the financing subsidiary to pay the redemption value. Our credit ratings are above this level as of February 14, 2014, and we do not anticipate they will be downgraded below this level prior to the redemption in December 2014. Common Securities of Subsidiary In addition, our subsidiary in Central America has outstanding redeemable common securities that are held by a noncontrolling interest.

Stock-Based Compensation

Share-based Compensation [Abstract]

Stock-Based Compensation

We have a stock-based Equity Participation Plan and an Outside Directors' Compensation Plan (the "Plans"), under which we can grant stock options, restricted shares and restricted share units to employees and outside directors. As of December 31, 2013, the number of shares of common stock available for grants under the Plans aggregated 21.3 million shares.

Stock options are granted at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant, and they have a term of 10 years. Stock options are subject to graded vesting whereby options vest 30 percent at the end of each of the first two 12-month periods following the grant and 40 percent at the end of the third 12-month period.

Restricted shares, time-vested restricted share units and performance-based restricted share units granted to employees are valued at the closing market price of our common stock on the grant date and vest generally at the end of three years. The number of performance-based share units that ultimately vest ranges from zero to 200 percent of the number granted, based on performance tied to return on invested capital ("ROIC") and net sales during the three-year performance period. ROIC and net sales targets are set at the beginning of the performance period. Restricted share units granted to outside directors are valued at the closing market price of our common stock on the grant date and vest when they are granted. The restricted period begins on the date of grant and expires on the date the outside director retires from or otherwise terminates service on our Board.

At the time stock options are exercised or restricted shares and restricted share units become payable, common stock is issued from our accumulated treasury shares. Dividend equivalents are credited on restricted share units on the same date and at the same rate as dividends are paid on Kimberly-Clark's common stock. These dividend equivalents, net of estimated forfeitures, are charged to retained earnings.

Stock-based compensation costs of $92, $67 and $48 and related deferred income tax benefits of $35, $20 and $15 were recognized for 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

The fair value of stock option awards was determined using a Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model utilizing a range of assumptions related to dividend yield, volatility, risk-free interest rate, and employee exercise behavior. Dividend yield is based on historical experience and expected future dividend actions. Expected volatility is based on a blend of historical volatility and implied volatility from traded options on Kimberly-Clark's common stock. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. We estimate forfeitures based on historical data.

The weighted-average fair value of options granted was estimated at $7.15, $3.25 and $2.98, in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, per option on the date of grant based on the following assumptions:



	Year Ended December 31
	2013		2012		2011
Dividend yield	3.70	%	4.50	%	5.00	%
Volatility	15.40	%	12.86	%	12.54	%
Risk-free interest rate	0.87	%	1.08	%	2.26	%
Expected life—years	5.1		5.8		6.3

Total remaining unrecognized compensation costs and amortization period are as follows:



	December 31, 2013		Weighted- Average Service Years
Nonvested stock options	$	8	1.0
Restricted shares and time-vested restricted share units	9		1.3
Nonvested performance-based restricted share units	58		1.4

Excess tax benefits, resulting from tax deductions in excess of the compensation cost recognized, aggregating $50, $50 and $15 were classified as other cash inflows under Financing Activities in the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

A summary of stock-based compensation under the Plans is presented below:



Stock Options	Shares (in thousands)		Weighted- Average Exercise Price		Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Term	Aggregate Intrinsic Value

Employee Postretirement Benefits

12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2013

Employee Postretirement Benefits

Pension Plans

Substantially all regular employees in North America and the United Kingdom are covered by defined benefit pension plans (the "Principal Plans") and/or defined contribution retirement plans. Certain other subsidiaries have defined benefit pension plans or, in certain countries, termination pay plans covering substantially all regular employees. The funding policy for our qualified defined benefit pension plans is to contribute assets at least equal in amount to regulatory minimum requirements. Nonqualified U.S. plans providing pension benefits in excess of limitations imposed by the U.S. income tax code are not funded.

Other Postretirement Benefit Plans

Substantially all U.S. retirees and employees have access to our unfunded healthcare and life insurance benefit plans. The annual increase in the consolidated weighted-average healthcare cost trend rate is expected to be 6.2 percent in 2014 and to decline to 5.0 percent in 2022 and thereafter. Assumed healthcare cost trend rates affect the amounts reported for postretirement healthcare benefit plans. A one-percentage-point change in assumed healthcare trend rates would not have a significant effect.

Summarized financial information about postretirement plans, excluding defined contribution retirement plans, is presented below:

Investment Strategies for the Principal Plans

Strategic asset allocation decisions are made considering several risk factors, including plan participants' retirement benefit security, the estimated payments of the associated liabilities, the plan funded status, and Kimberly-Clark's financial condition. The resulting strategic asset allocation is a diversified blend of equity and fixed income investments. Equity investments are typically diversified across geographies and market capitalization. Fixed income investments are diversified across multiple sectors including government issues and corporate debt instruments with a portfolio duration that is consistent with the estimated payment of the associated liability. Actual asset allocation is regularly reviewed and periodically rebalanced to the strategic allocation when considered appropriate. Our 2014 target plan asset allocation for the Principal Plans is 70 percent fixed income securities and 30 percent equity securities.

The expected long-term rate of return is evaluated on an annual basis. In setting this assumption, we consider a number of factors including projected future returns by asset class relative to the current asset allocation. The weighted-average expected long-term rate of return on pension fund assets used to calculate pension expense for the Principal Plans was 6.43 percent in 2013 compared with 6.68 percent in 2012 and will be 6.16 percent in 2014.

Set forth below are the pension plan assets of the Principal Plans measured at fair value, by level in the fair-value hierarchy:

During 2013 and 2012, the plan assets did not include a significant amount of Kimberly-Clark common stock.

Inputs and valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of plan assets vary according to the type of security being valued. Substantially all of the equity securities held directly by the plans are actively traded and fair values are determined based on quoted market prices. Fair values of U.S. Treasury securities are determined based on trading activity in the marketplace.

Fair values of U.S. corporate debt, U.S. securitized fixed income and international bonds are typically determined by reference to the values of similar securities traded in the marketplace and current interest rate levels. Multiple pricing services are typically employed to assist in determining these valuations.

Fair values of equity securities and fixed income securities held through units of pooled funds are based on net asset value (NAV) of the units of the pooled fund determined by the fund manager. Pooled funds are similar in nature to retail mutual funds, but are typically more efficient for institutional investors than retail mutual funds. The fair value of pooled funds is determined by the value of the underlying assets held by the fund and the units outstanding. The value of the pooled fund is not directly observable, but is based on observable inputs.

Equity securities held directly by the pension trusts and those held through units in pooled funds are monitored as to issuer and industry. Except for U.S. Treasuries, concentrations of fixed income securities are similarly monitored for concentrations by issuer and industry. As of December 31, 2013, there were no significant concentrations of equity or debt securities in any single issuer or industry.

The insurance contract was purchased in December 2013, and fair value was determined based on an evaluation of various factors, including purchase price. No other level 3 transfers (in or out) were made in 2013 and 2012.

Cash Flows

We expect to contribute $100 to $200 to our defined benefit pension plans in 2014.

Estimated Future Benefit Payments

Over the next ten years, we expect that the following gross benefit payments will occur:



	Pension Benefits		Other Benefits
2014	$	369	$	57
2015	374		59
2016	374		60
2017	382		61
2018	386		63
2019-2023	2,005		326

Defined Contribution Pension Plans

Our 401(k) profit sharing plan and supplemental plan provide for a matching contribution of a U.S. employee's contributions and accruals, subject to predetermined limits, as well as a discretionary profit sharing contribution, in which contributions will be based on our profit performance. We also have defined contribution pension plans for certain employees outside the U.S.

Costs charged to expense for our defined contribution pension plans were as follows:



	2013		2012		2011
U.S.	$	90	$	82	$	77
Outside the U.S.	27		26		36

Change in AOCI	$	(183	)	$	(193	)	$	(400	)

Amounts are reclassified from AOCI into cost of products sold, marketing, research and general expenses, interest expense or other (income) and expense, net, as applicable, in the Consolidated Income Statement.

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 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 adjustment would be removed from AOCI and reported as part of the gain or loss on the sale or liquidation. The change in unrealized translation in 2013 is primarily due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar versus the Australian dollar and Brazilian real, as well as most other foreign currencies. 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 entire disclosure for shareholders' equity, comprised of portions attributable to the parent entity and noncontrolling interest, if any, including other comprehensive income (as applicable). Including, but not limited to: (1) balances of common stock, preferred stock, additional paid-in capital, other capital and retained earnings; (2) accumulated balance for each classification of other comprehensive income and total amount of comprehensive income; (3) amount and nature of changes in separate accounts, including the number of shares authorized and outstanding, number of shares issued upon exercise and conversion, and for other comprehensive income, the adjustments for reclassifications to net income; (4) rights and privileges of each class of stock authorized; (5) basis of treasury stock, if other than cost, and amounts paid and accounting treatment for treasury stock purchased significantly in excess of market; (6) dividends paid or payable per share and in the aggregate for each class of stock for each period presented; (7) dividend restrictions and accumulated preferred dividends in arrears (in aggregate and per share amount); (8) retained earnings appropriations or restrictions, such as dividend restrictions; (9) impact of change in accounting principle, initial adoption of new accounting principle and correction of an error in previously issued financial statements; (10) shares held in trust for Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP); (11) deferred compensation related to issuance of capital stock; (12) note received for issuance of stock; (13) unamortized discount on shares; (14) description, terms, and number of warrants or rights outstanding; (15) shares under subscription and subscription receivables, effective date of new retained earnings after quasi-reorganization and deficit eliminated by quasi-reorganization and, for a period of at least ten years after the effective date, the point in time from which the new retained dates; and (16) retroactive effective of subsequent change in capital structure.

Leases and Commitments

Leases and Commitments

We have entered into operating leases for certain warehouse facilities, automobiles and equipment. The future minimum obligations under operating leases having a noncancelable term in excess of one year are as follows:



	Year Ending December 31
2014	$	189
2015	155
2016	124
2017	113
2018	76
Thereafter	107
Future minimum obligations	$	764

Consolidated rental expense under operating leases was $333, $283 and $278 in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

We have entered into long-term contracts for the purchase of pulp and utilities, principally electricity. Commitments under these contracts based on current prices are $481 in 2014, $259 in 2015, $189 in 2016, $173 in 2017 and $177 in 2018. Total commitments beyond the year 2018 are $334.

Although we are primarily liable for payments on the above-mentioned leases and purchase commitments, our exposure to losses, if any, under these arrangements is not material.

Objectives and Strategies for Using Derivatives

The entire disclosure for significant arrangements with third parties, which includes operating lease arrangements and arrangements in which the entity has agreed to expend funds to procure goods or services, or has agreed to commit resources to supply goods or services, and operating lease arrangements. Descriptions may include identification of the specific goods and services, period of time covered, minimum quantities and amounts, and cancellation rights.

Objectives and Strategies for Using Derivatives

12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2013

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. We enter into derivative instruments 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 and qualify as cash flow 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. 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 and qualify as fair value hedges. From time to time, we also hedge the anticipated issuance of fixed-rate debt, using forward-starting swaps, and these contracts are designated as cash flow hedges. We use derivative instruments, such as forward swap 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. 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 borrowing. Translation exposure, which results from changes in translation rates between functional currencies and the U.S. dollar, generally is not hedged.

Set forth below is a summary of the total designated and undesignated fair values of our derivative instruments:



	Assets				Liabilities
	2013		2012		2013		2012
Foreign currency exchange contracts	$	34	$	52	$	49	$	17
Interest rate contracts	22		7		—		43
Commodity price contracts	6		2		—		3
Total	$	62	$	61	$	49	$	63

The derivative assets are included in the Consolidated Balance Sheet in other current assets and other assets, as appropriate. The derivative liabilities are included in the Consolidated Balance Sheet in accrued expenses and other liabilities, as appropriate.

Effect of Derivative Instruments on Results of Operations and Other Comprehensive Income

Derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges are predominantly used to manage interest rate risk. The fair values of these derivative instruments are recorded as an asset or liability, as appropriate, with the offset recorded in current earnings. The offset to the change in fair values of the related hedged items also is recorded in current earnings. 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. At December 31, 2013, the aggregate notional values of outstanding interest rate contracts designated as fair value hedges were $250. Fair value hedges resulted in no significant ineffectiveness in each of the three years ended December 31, 2013. For each of the three years ended December 31, 2013, gains or losses recognized in interest expense for interest rates swaps were not significant. For each of the three years ended December 31, 2013, no gain or loss was recognized in earnings as a result of a hedged firm commitment no longer qualifying as a fair value hedge.

For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of 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 period that the hedged exposure affects earnings. As of December 31, 2013, outstanding commodity forward contracts were in place to hedge a limited portion of our estimated requirements of the related underlying commodities in 2014 and future periods. As of December 31, 2013, the aggregate notional values of outstanding foreign exchange and interest rate derivative contracts designated as cash flow hedges were $1 billion and $200, respectively. Cash flow hedges resulted in no significant ineffectiveness in each of the three years ended December 31, 2013. For each of the three years ended December 31, 2013, no gains or losses were reclassified into earnings as a result of the discontinuance of cash flow hedges due to the original forecasted transaction no longer being probable of occurring. At December 31, 2013, amounts to be reclassified from AOCI during the next twelve months are not expected to be material. The maximum maturity of cash flow hedges in place at December 31, 2013 is January 2016.

Gains or losses on undesignated foreign exchange hedging instruments are immediately recognized in other (income) and expense, net. Losses of $75 and gains of $67 and $3 were recorded in the years ending December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. 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 December 31, 2013, the notional amount of these undesignated derivative instruments was $2.4 billion.

The entire disclosure for the entity's entire derivative instruments and hedging activities. Describes an entity's risk management strategies, derivatives in hedging activities and non-hedging derivative instruments, the assets, obligations, liabilities, revenues and expenses arising therefrom, and the amounts of and methodologies and assumptions used in determining the amounts of such items.

Income Taxes

12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2013

Income Taxes

An analysis of the provision for income taxes follows:



	Year Ended December 31
	2013		2012			2011
Current income taxes
United States	$	350	$	182		$	43
State	110		30			32
Other countries	318		332			311
Total	778		544			386
Deferred income taxes
United States	85		204			254
State	14		34			29
Other countries	52		(14		)	(9		)
Total	151		224			274
Total provision for income taxes	$	929	$	768		$	660

Income before income taxes is earned in the following tax jurisdictions:



	Year Ended December 31
	2013		2012		2011
United States	$	1,764	$	1,415	$	1,317
Other countries	1,181		1,005		866
Total income before income taxes	$	2,945	$	2,420	$	2,183

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are composed of the following:



	December 31
	2013			2012
Deferred tax assets
Pension and other postretirement benefits	$	728		$	972
Tax credits and loss carryforwards	604			729
Property, plant and equipment, net	104			110
Other	516			492
	1,952			2,303
Valuation allowance	(197		)	(215		)
Total deferred assets	1,755			2,088

Deferred tax liabilities
Pension and other postretirement benefits	259			269
Property, plant and equipment, net	1,244			1,228
Installment sales	6			120
Investments in subsidiaries	205			108
Other	390			385
Total deferred tax liabilities	2,104			2,110
Net deferred tax assets (liabilities)	$	(349	)	$	(22	)

Valuation allowances at the end of 2013 primarily relate to tax credits and income tax loss carryforwards of $1.0 billion. If these items are not utilized against taxable income, $368 of the loss carryforwards will expire from 2014 through 2031. The remaining $654 have no expiration date.

Realization of income tax loss carryforwards is dependent on generating sufficient taxable income prior to expiration of these carryforwards. Although realization is not assured, we believe it is more likely than not that all of the deferred tax assets, net of applicable valuation allowances, will be realized. The amount of the deferred tax assets considered realizable could be reduced or increased due to changes in the tax environment or if estimates of future taxable income change during the carryforward period.

Presented below is a reconciliation of the income tax provision computed at the U.S. federal statutory tax rate to the actual effective tax rate:



	Year Ended December 31
	2013		2012		2011
U.S. statutory rate applied to income before income taxes	35.0	%	35.0	%	35.0	%
Rate of state income taxes, net of federal tax benefit	2.7		1.7		1.8
Statutory rates other than U.S. statutory rate	(2.9	)	(2.8	)	(2.3	)
Other - net^(a)	(3.3	)	(2.2	)	(4.3	)
Effective income tax rate	31.5	%	31.7	%	30.2	%


(a)	Other - net is comprised of numerous items, none of which is greater than 1.75 percent of income before income taxes.

At December 31, 2013, U.S. income taxes and foreign withholding taxes have not been provided on $9.8 billion of unremitted earnings of subsidiaries operating outside the U.S. These earnings, which are considered to be invested indefinitely, would become subject to income tax if they were remitted as dividends, were lent to one of our U.S. entities, or if we were to sell our stock in the subsidiaries. Determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred U.S. income tax liability on these unremitted earnings is not practicable because of the complexities associated with this hypothetical calculation. We do not expect restrictions or taxes on repatriation of cash held outside of the United States to have a material effect on our overall liquidity, financial condition or results of operations in the foreseeable future.

Presented below is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending amounts of unrecognized income tax benefits:



	2013			2012			2011
Balance at January 1	$	435		$	558		$	568
Gross increases for tax positions of prior years	73			30			17
Gross decreases for tax positions of prior years	(31		)	(104		)	(60		)
Gross increases for tax positions of the current year	37			52			55
Settlements	(35		)	(100		)	(15		)
Other	(6		)	(1		)	(7		)
Balance at December 31	$	473		$	435		$	558

Of the amounts recorded as unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2013, $309 would reduce our effective tax rate if recognized.

We recognize accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. During the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, the net cost in interest and penalties was not significant. Total accrued penalties and net accrued interest was $42 and $47 at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

It is reasonably possible that a number of uncertainties could be resolved within the next 12 months, the most significant of which involves tax credits. It is reasonably possible the aggregate resolution of the uncertainties could be up to $180, while none of the uncertainties is individually significant. Resolution of these matters is not expected to have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

As of December 31, 2013, the following tax years remain subject to examination for the major jurisdictions where we conduct business:



Jurisdiction	Years
United States	2010 to 2013
United Kingdom	2012 to 2013
Canada	2010 to 2013
Korea	2008 to 2013
Australia	2009 to 2013

Our U.S. federal income tax returns have been audited through 2009. We have various federal income tax return positions in administrative appeals or litigation for 1999 to 2009.

State income tax returns are generally subject to examination for a period of 3 to 5 years after filing of the respective return. The state effect of any changes to filed federal positions remains subject to examination by various states for a period of up to two years after formal notification to the states. We have various state income tax return positions in the process of examination, administrative appeals or litigation.

The entire disclosure for income taxes. Disclosures may include net deferred tax liability or asset recognized in an enterprise's statement of financial position, net change during the year in the total valuation allowance, approximate tax effect of each type of temporary difference and carryforward that gives rise to a significant portion of deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets, utilization of a tax carryback, and tax uncertainties information.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Earnings Per Share

Earnings Per Share ("EPS")

There are no adjustments required to be made to net income for purposes of computing basic and diluted EPS. The average number of common shares outstanding is reconciled to those used in the basic and diluted EPS computations as follows:



(Millions of shares)	2013	2012	2011
Average shares outstanding	384.0	393.0	395.4
Participating securities	—	—	0.3
Basic	384.0	393.0	395.7
Dilutive effect of stock options and restricted share unit awards	3.3	3.1	2.9
Diluted	387.3	396.1	398.6

Options outstanding that were not included in the computation of diluted EPS mainly because their exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares are summarized below:



	2013		2012		2011
Average number of share equivalents (millions)	1.1		1.1		3.6
Weighted-average exercise price	$	103.29	$	78.54	$	71.49
Options outstanding at year-end (millions)	1.8		1.7		3.0

The number of common shares outstanding as of December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 was 380.8 million, 389.3 million and 395.7 million, respectively.

Description of Business Segments

Business Segment Information

We are organized into operating segments based on product groupings. These operating segments have been aggregated into four reportable global business segments: Personal Care, Consumer Tissue, KCP and Health Care. The reportable segments were determined in accordance with how our executive managers develop and execute global strategies to drive growth and profitability. These strategies include global plans for branding and product positioning, technology, research and development programs, cost reductions including supply chain management, and capacity and capital investments for each of these businesses. Segment management is evaluated on several factors, including operating profit. Segment operating profit excludes other (income) and expense, net and income and expense not associated with the business segments, including the charges related to the European strategic changes and the pulp and tissue restructuring actions described in Notes 3 and 4, respectively.

The principal sources of revenue in each global business segment are described below:

•

Personal Care brands offer parents a trusted partner in caring for their families and deliver confidence, protection and discretion to adults through a wide variety of innovative solutions and products such as disposable diapers, training and youth pants, swimpants, baby wipes, feminine and incontinence care products, and other related products. Products in this segment are sold under the Huggies, Pull-Ups, Little Swimmers, GoodNites, DryNites, Kotex, U by Kotex, Intimus, Depend, Plenitud, Poise and other brand names.


•	Consumer Tissue offers a wide variety of innovative solutions and trusted brands that touch and improve people's lives every day. Products in this segment include facial and bathroom tissue, paper towels, napkins and related products, and are sold under the Kleenex, Scott, Cottonelle, Viva, Andrex, Scottex, Neve and other brand names.


•	K-C Professional helps transform workplaces for employees and patrons, making them healthier, safer and more productive, through a range of solutions and supporting products such as apparel, wipers, soaps, sanitizers, tissue and towels. Key brands in this segment include Kleenex, Scott, WypAll, Kimtech and Jackson Safety.

•

Health Care provides essentials that help restore patients to better health and improve the quality of patients' lives. This segment offers surgical and infection prevention products for the operating room, and a portfolio of innovative medical devices focused on pain management, respiratory and digestive health. This business is a global leader in education to prevent healthcare-associated infections. Products are sold primarily under the Kimberly-Clark and ON-Q brand names. As described in Note 2, our Board of Directors has authorized management to pursue a potential tax-free spin-off of our health care business, with a current target to complete the spin-off by the end of the third quarter of 2014.

Net sales to Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. were approximately 12 percent in 2013, 2012 and 2011.

Accounting Policies (Policy)	12 Months Ended
Accounting Policies (Policy)	Dec. 31, 2013
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates, and changes in these estimates are recorded when known. Estimates are used in accounting for, among other things, consumer and trade promotion and rebate accruals, pension and other postretirement benefits, future cash flows associated with impairment testing for goodwill and long-lived assets, and deferred tax assets and potential income tax assessments.
Cash Equivalents	Cash Equivalents Cash equivalents are short-term investments with an original maturity date of three months or less.
Inventories and Distribution Costs	Inventories and Distribution Costs Most U.S. inventories are valued at the lower of cost, using the Last-In, First-Out (LIFO) method, or market. The balance of the U.S. inventories and inventories of consolidated operations outside the U.S. are valued at the lower of cost, using either the First-In, First-Out (FIFO) or weighted-average cost methods, or market. Distribution costs are classified as cost of products sold.
Property and Depreciation	Property and Depreciation Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated on the straight-line method. Buildings are depreciated over their estimated useful lives, primarily 40 years. Machinery and equipment are depreciated over their estimated useful lives, primarily ranging from 16 to 20 years. Purchases of computer software, including external costs and certain internal costs (including payroll and payroll-related costs of employees) directly associated with developing significant computer software applications for internal use, are capitalized. Computer software costs are amortized on the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the software, which generally does not exceed 5 years. Estimated useful lives are periodically reviewed and, when warranted, changes are made to them. Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss would be indicated when estimated undiscounted future cash flows from the use and eventual disposition of an asset group, which are identifiable and largely independent of the cash flows of other asset groups, are less than the carrying amount of the asset group. Measurement of an impairment loss would be based on the excess of the carrying amount of the asset group over its fair value. Fair value is measured using discounted cash flows or independent appraisals, as appropriate. When property is sold or retired, the cost of the property and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the Consolidated Balance Sheet and any gain or loss on the transaction is included in income.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets	Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Goodwill represents costs in excess of fair values assigned to the underlying net assets of acquired businesses. Goodwill is not amortized, but rather is tested for impairment annually and whenever events and circumstances indicate that impairment may have occurred. During the third quarter of 2013, we changed the measurement date for our annual goodwill impairment test from the beginning of the fourth quarter to the beginning of the third quarter. This change did not result in the delay, acceleration or avoidance of an impairment charge. We believe this timing is preferable as it better aligns the goodwill impairment test with our strategic business planning process, which is a key component of the goodwill impairment test. The change was applied prospectively, as retrospective application would have been impractical because we are unable to objectively select assumptions that would have been used in previous periods without the benefit of hindsight. Impairment testing compares the reporting unit carrying amount of goodwill with its fair value. Fair value is estimated based on discounted cash flows. If the reporting unit carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge would be recorded. We have completed the required annual testing of goodwill for impairment for all reporting units and have determined that goodwill is not impaired. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives and are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Estimated useful lives range from 2 to 30 years for trademarks, 5 to 17 years for patents and developed technologies, and 5 to 16 years for other intangible assets. An impairment loss would be indicated when estimated undiscounted future cash flows from the use of the asset are less than its carrying amount. An impairment loss would be measured as the difference between the fair value (based on discounted future cash flows) and the carrying amount of the asset.
Investments in Equity Companies	Investments in Equity Companies Investments in companies which we do not control but over which we have the ability to exercise significant influence and that, in general, are at least 20 percent-owned by us, are stated at cost plus equity in undistributed net income. These investments are evaluated for impairment when warranted. An impairment loss would be recorded whenever a decline in value of an equity investment below its carrying amount is determined to be other than temporary. In judging "other than temporary," we would consider the length of time and extent to which the fair value of the equity company investment has been less than the carrying amount, the near-term and longer-term operating and financial prospects of the equity company, and our longer-term intent of retaining the investment in the equity company.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition Sales revenue is recognized at the time of product shipment or delivery, depending on when title passes, to unaffiliated customers, and when all of the following have occurred: a firm sales agreement is in place, pricing is fixed or determinable, and collection is reasonably assured. Sales are reported net of returns, consumer and trade promotions, rebates and freight allowed. Taxes imposed by governmental authorities on our revenue-producing activities with customers, such as sales taxes and value-added taxes, are excluded from net sales.
Sales Incentives and Trade Promotion Allowances	Sales Incentives and Trade Promotion Allowances The cost of promotion activities provided to customers is classified as a reduction in sales revenue. In addition, the estimated redemption value of consumer coupons is recorded at the time the coupons are issued and classified as a reduction in sales revenue. Estimates of trade promotion liabilities for promotional program costs incurred, but unpaid, are generally based on estimates of the quantity of customer sales, timing of promotional activities and forecasted costs for activities within the promotional programs.
Advertising Expense	Advertising Expense Advertising costs are expensed in the year the related advertisement or campaign is first presented by the media. For interim reporting purposes, advertising expenses are charged to operations as a percentage of sales based on estimated sales and related advertising expense for the full year.
Research Expense	Research Expense Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred.
Environmental Expenditures	Environmental Expenditures Environmental expenditures related to current operations that qualify as property, plant and equipment or which substantially increase the economic value or extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized, and all other environmental expenditures are expensed as incurred. Liabilities are recorded when environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts are probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. Generally, the timing of these accruals coincides with completion of a feasibility study or a commitment to a formal plan of action. Liabilities for future expenditures for environmental remediation obligations are not discounted and do not reflect any anticipated recoveries from insurers.
Foreign Currency Translation	Foreign Currency Translation The income statements of foreign operations, other than those in highly inflationary economies, are translated into U.S. dollars at rates of exchange in effect each month. The balance sheets of these operations are translated at period-end exchange rates, and the differences from historical exchange rates are reflected in stockholders' equity as unrealized translation adjustments. The income statements and balance sheets of operations in highly inflationary economies are translated into U.S. dollars using both current and historical rates of exchange. We account for our operations in Venezuela using highly inflationary accounting.
Derivative Instruments and Hedging	Derivative Instruments and Hedging All derivative instruments are recorded as assets or liabilities on the balance sheet at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are either recorded in the income statement or other comprehensive income, as appropriate. The gain or loss on derivatives designated as fair value hedges and the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are included in income in the period that changes in fair value occur. The effective portion of the gain or loss on derivatives designated as cash flow hedges is included in other comprehensive income in the period that changes in fair value occur, and is reclassified to income in the same period that the hedged item affects income. The gain or loss on derivatives designated as hedges of investments in foreign subsidiaries is recognized in other comprehensive income to offset the change in value of the net investments being hedged. Any ineffective portion of cash flow hedges and net investment hedges is immediately recognized in income. Certain foreign-currency derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments have been entered into to manage a portion of our foreign currency transactional exposures. The gain or loss on these derivatives is included in income in the period that changes in their fair values occur. Our policies allow the use of derivatives for risk management purposes and prohibit their use for speculation. Our policies also prohibit the use of any leveraged derivative instrument. Consistent with our policies, foreign currency derivative instruments, interest rate swaps and locks, and the majority of commodity hedging contracts are entered into with major financial institutions. At inception we formally designate certain derivatives as cash flow, fair value or net investment hedges and establish how the effectiveness of these hedges will be assessed and measured. This process links the derivatives to the transactions or financial balances they are hedging. Changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated as hedging instruments are recorded in earnings as they occur. See Note 14 for disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities.

[1]	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.
[2]	Time deposits are comprised 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.
[3]	Short-term debt is comprised 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.
[4]	Long-term debt includes the current portion of these debt instruments and excludes the monetization loan. Fair values were estimated based on quoted prices for financial instruments for which all significant inputs were observable, either directly or indirectly.
[5]	The note, monetization loan and redeemable preferred securities of subsidiaries are not traded in active markets. Accordingly, their fair values were calculated using a floating rate pricing model that compared the stated spread to the fair value spread to determine the price at which each of the financial instruments should trade. The model used the following inputs to calculate fair values: face value, current LIBOR rate, unobservable fair value credit spread, stated spread, maturity date and interest or dividend payment dates.
[6]	The fair value of the redeemable common securities of subsidiary was based on various inputs, including an independent third-party appraisal, adjusted for current market conditions.

This element represents the portion of the balance sheet assertion valued at fair value by the entity whether such amount is presented as a separate caption or as a parenthetical disclosure. Additionally, this element may be used in connection with the fair value disclosures required in the footnote disclosures to the financial statements. The element may be used in both the balance sheet and disclosure in the same submission. This item includes currency on hand as well as demand deposits with banks or financial institutions. It also includes other kinds of accounts that have the general characteristics of demand deposits in that the Company may deposit additional funds at any time and also effectively may withdraw funds at any time without prior notice or penalty. Cash equivalents, excluding items classified as marketable securities, include short-term, highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash, and so near their maturity that they present minimal risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. Generally, only investments with original maturities of three months or less qualify under that definition. Original maturity means original maturity to the entity holding the investment. For example, both a three-month US Treasury bill and a three-year Treasury note purchased three months from maturity qualify as cash equivalents. However, a Treasury note purchased three years ago does not become a cash equivalent when its remaining maturity is three months.

The estimated measure of the percentage by which a share price is expected to fluctuate during a period. Volatility also may be defined as a probability-weighted measure of the dispersion of returns about the mean. The volatility of a share price is the standard deviation of the continuously compounded rates of return on the share over a specified period. That is the same as the standard deviation of the differences in the natural logarithms of the stock prices plus dividends, if any, over the period.

Assets, usually stocks, bonds, and other investments, that have been segregated and restricted (usually in a trust) to provide benefits, at their fair value as of the measurement date. Plan assets include amounts contributed by the employer (and by employees for a contributory plan) and amounts earned from investing the contributions, less benefits paid. If a plan has liabilities other than for benefits, those non-benefit obligations may be considered as reductions of plan assets.

+ References+ Details

The assumed health care cost trend rate for the next year used to measure the expected cost of benefits covered by the plan (gross eligible charges). This is based upon the annual rate of change in the cost of health care benefits currently provided by the postretirement benefit plan, due to factors other than changes in the composition of the plan population by age and dependency status.

[1]	The expected return on plan assets is determined by multiplying the fair value of plan assets at the remeasurement date, typically the prior year-end, and adjusted for estimated current year cash benefit payments and contributions, by the expected long-term rate of return.

An amount calculated as a basis for determining the extent of delayed recognition of the effects of changes in the fair value of assets. The expected return on plan assets is determined based on the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets and the market-related value of plan assets.

+ References+ Details

This element represents the weighted average total number of shares issued throughout the period including the first (beginning balance outstanding) and last (ending balance outstanding) day of the period before considering any reductions (for instance, shares held in treasury) to arrive at the weighted average number of shares outstanding. Weighted average relates to the portion of time within a reporting period that common shares have been issued and outstanding to the total time in that period. Such concept is used in determining the weighted average number of shares outstanding for purposes of calculating earnings per share (basic).
