Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The unaudited interim financial statements of Franklin Resources, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) included herein have been prepared by the Company in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Under these rules and regulations, some information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been shortened or omitted. Management believes that all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the financial position and the results of operations for the periods shown have been made. All adjustments are normal and recurring. These financial statements should be read together with the Company’s audited financial statements included in its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017 (“fiscal year 2017 ”). Certain comparative amounts for the prior fiscal year period have been reclassified to conform to the financial statement presentation as of and for the period ended March 31, 2018 . |

New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract] | |
New Accounting Guidance | New Accounting Guidance Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance On October 1, 2017 , the Company adopted an amendment to the existing stock-based compensation guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). The amendment requires all income tax effects of stock-based awards to be recognized as income tax expense when the awards vest or settle and clarifies the classification of these transactions within the statement of cash flows. The amendment also provides an election to account for forfeitures as they occur, which the Company made using the modified retrospective approach which did not require the restatement of prior-year periods and did not result in a material impact on retained earnings. The income tax effect and statement of cash flow changes were adopted on a prospective basis. The adoption of the amendment will increase the volatility of income tax expense as a result of fluctuations in the Company’s stock price. Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted The FASB issued new guidance in May 2014 that requires use of a single principles-based model for recognition of revenue from contracts with customers. The core principle of the model is that revenue is recognized upon the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the expected consideration to be received for the goods or services. The guidance also changes the accounting for certain contract costs and revises the criteria for determining if an entity is acting as a principal or agent in certain arrangements. The guidance is effective for the Company on October 1, 2018 and allows for either a full retrospective or modified approach at adoption. While the Company’s implementation efforts are ongoing, it does not expect adoption of the guidance to have a significant impact on the timing of recognition for substantially all of its operating revenue or the accounting for its contract costs. The Company continues to assess certain arrangements to determine whether it continues to act as a principal and present the related revenue gross of associated expenses. The overall impact upon adoption may differ based on further evaluation of the Company’s arrangements and other facts and circumstances identified during implementation. The Company has not yet determined its transition approach. There were no other significant updates to the new accounting guidance not yet adopted by the Company as disclosed in its Form 10-K for fiscal year 2017 . |

Transfers into Level 2 from Level 1 were $0.5 million for the three and six months ended March 31, 2018 , and related to securities for which the quoted market prices were adjusted as of March 31, 2018 due to significant price changes in U.S.-traded market proxies resulting from global market volatility.

For investment securities, trading – debt and other equity securities using the discounted cash flow technique, a significant increase (decrease) in the discount rate or risk premium in isolation would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. For life settlement contracts, a significant increase (decrease) in the life expectancy or the discount rate in isolation would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement.

Consolidated Investment Products [Abstract] | |
Consolidated Investment Products | Consolidated Investment Products Consolidated investment products (“CIPs”) consist of mutual and other investment funds, limited partnerships and similar structures, substantially all of which are sponsored by the Company, and include both voting interest entities and variable interest entities. The Company had 54 and 58 CIPs as of March 31, 2018 and September 30, 2017 . The balances related to CIPs included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets were as follows: (in millions) March 31, September 30, Assets Cash and cash equivalents $ 181.1 $ 226.4 Receivables 133.6 234.1 Investments, at fair value 3,529.3 3,467.4 Other assets 1.0 0.9 Total Assets $ 3,845.0 $ 3,928.8 Liabilities Accounts payable and accrued expenses $ 67.9 $ 124.1 Debt 34.0 53.4 Other liabilities 11.9 8.7 Total liabilities 113.8 186.2 Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests 2,084.4 1,941.9 Stockholders ’ Equity Franklin Resources, Inc.’s interests 1,330.0 1,511.8 Nonredeemable noncontrolling interests 316.8 288.9 Total stockholders’ equity 1,646.8 1,800.7 Total Liabilities, Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests and Stockholders ’ Equity $ 3,845.0 $ 3,928.8 The CIPs did not have a significant impact on net income (loss) attributable to the Company during the three and six months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 . The Company has no right to the CIPs’ assets, other than its direct equity investments in them and investment management fees earned from them. The debt holders of the CIPs have no recourse to the Company’s assets beyond the level of its direct investment, therefore the Company bears no other risks associated with the CIPs’ liabilities. Investment products are typically consolidated when the Company makes an initial investment in a newly launched investment entity. They are typically deconsolidated when the Company no longer has a controlling financial interest due to redemptions of its investment or increases in third-party investments. The Company’s investments in these products subsequent to deconsolidation are accounted for as trading or available-for-sale investment securities, or equity method or cost method investments depending on the structure of the product and the Company’s role and level of ownership. Investments Investments of CIPs consisted of the following: (in millions) March 31, September 30, Investment securities, trading $ 3,063.7 $ 3,017.2 Other equity securities 353.9 306.9 Other debt securities 111.7 143.3 Total $ 3,529.3 $ 3,467.4 Investment securities, trading consist of debt and equity securities that are traded in active markets. Other equity securities consist of equity securities of entities in emerging markets and fund products. Other debt securities consist of debt securities of entities in emerging markets. Fair Value Measurements Assets and liabilities of CIPs measured at fair value on a recurring basis were as follows: (in millions) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 NAV as a Practical Expedient Total as of March 31, 2018 Assets Investments Equity securities $ 312.7 $ 266.6 $ 188.4 $ 167.1 $ 934.8 Debt securities 1.3 2,481.0 112.2 — 2,594.5 Total Assets Measured at Fair Value $ 314.0 $ 2,747.6 $ 300.6 $ 167.1 $ 3,529.3 Liabilities Other liabilities $ 0.6 $ 11.3 $ — $ — $ 11.9 (in millions) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 NAV as a Practical Expedient Total as of September 30, 2017 Assets Investments Equity securities $ 331.4 $ 128.1 $ 160.7 $ 155.2 $ 775.4 Debt securities 1.4 2,555.2 135.4 — 2,692.0 Total Assets Measured at Fair Value $ 332.8 $ 2,683.3 $ 296.1 $ 155.2 $ 3,467.4 Liabilities Other liabilities $ 0.4 $ 8.3 $ — $ — $ 8.7 Level 1 assets consist of equity and debt securities for which the fair values are based on quoted market prices. Level 2 assets consist of debt and equity securities for which the fair values are determined using independent third-party broker or dealer price quotes. Level 3 assets consist of equity and debt securities of entities in emerging markets for which the fair values are determined using significant unobservable inputs in either a market-based or income-based approach. The fair value of other liabilities, which consist of short positions in debt and equity securities, is determined based on the fair value of the underlying securities using quoted market prices, or independent third-party broker or dealer price quotes if quoted market prices are not available. Transfers into Level 2 from Level 1 were $3.5 million for the three and six months ended March 31, 2018 , and related to securities for which the quoted market prices were adjusted as of March 31, 2018 due to significant price changes in U.S.-traded market proxies resulting from global market volatility. The impacted securities trade in 11 different countries in Asia-Pacific, Europe and Latin America. The adjustments were made after the close of the foreign markets and were based on third-party factors derived from model-based valuation techniques for which the significant assumptions were observable in the market. There were no transfers into Level 1 from Level 2 during the six months ended March 31, 2018 , and there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the six months ended March 31, 2017 . There were no transfers into or out of Level 3 during the six months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 . Investments for which fair value was estimated using reported net asset value (“NAV”) as a practical expedient consisted of nonredeemable real estate and private equity funds. These investments are expected to be returned through distributions as a result of liquidations of the funds’ underlying assets over a weighted-average period of 4.0 years and 4.4 years at March 31, 2018 and September 30, 2017 . The CIPs’ unfunded commitments to these funds totaled $1.9 million , of which the Company was contractually obligated to fund $0.4 million based on its ownership percentage in the CIPs, at both March 31, 2018 and September 30, 2017 .

For securities using the discounted cash flow valuation technique, a significant increase (decrease) in the discount rate or risk premium in isolation would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. For securities using the comparable trading multiple valuation technique, a significant increase (decrease) in the price to earnings ratio or enterprise value/EBITDA multiple in isolation would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Taxes on Income | Taxes on Income The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) was enacted into law in the U.S. on December 22, 2017. The Tax Act includes various changes to the tax law, including a permanent reduction in the corporate income tax rate. The Tax Act imposes a one-time transition tax on the deemed repatriation of post-1986 undistributed foreign subsidiaries’ earnings. During the quarter ended December 31, 2017, the Company recognized an estimated transition tax expense of $1,120.7 million based on information then available. During the three months ended March 31, 2018 , the Company decreased this estimate by $0.5 million as a result of additional technical guidance from the Department of Treasury and information that became available during the quarter. The expense may be further adjusted in future quarters upon issuance of additional technical guidance, legislative updates from states on tax reform, and the completion of the Company’s tax return filings. The federal portion of the transition tax liability, estimated to be $1,101.0 million , will be paid over eight years beginning in January 2019, with 8% of the liability payable in each of the first five years, 15% in year six, 20% in year seven and 25% in year eight. The Tax Act reduced the federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018 . The Company’s federal statutory rate for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2018 is a blended rate of 24.5% , based on the pre- and post-Tax Act rates, and will be 21% for future fiscal years. During the quarter ended December 31, 2017, the Company recognized the estimated related changes in its deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities, which resulted in a $35.7 million decrease in deferred tax assets, an $88.8 million decrease in deferred tax liabilities and a $53.1 million net tax benefit. During the three months ended March 31, 2018 , the estimated net tax benefit increased by $0.5 million , and may be further revised in future quarters as the related temporary differences are realized or settled. Also during the three months ended March 31, 2018 , the Company reclassified $0.1 million from accumulated other comprehensive loss to retained earnings related to stranded tax effects resulting from the change in tax rate. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities were as follows: (in millions) March 31, September 30, Deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowance $ 95.2 $ 141.3 Deferred tax liabilities 204.2 296.1 Net Deferred Tax Liability $ 109.0 $ 154.8 Deferred income tax assets and liabilities that relate to the same tax jurisdiction are presented net on the consolidated balance sheets. The components of the net deferred tax liability were classified in the consolidated balance sheets as follows: (in millions) March 31, September 30, Other assets $ 20.9 $ 15.8 Deferred tax liabilities 129.9 170.6 Net Deferred Tax Liability $ 109.0 $ 154.8 Prior to the Tax Act, the Company indefinitely reinvested the undistributed earnings of all its foreign subsidiaries, except for income previously taxed in the U.S. or subject to regulatory or legal repatriation restrictions or requirements. The Company is currently reconsidering its repatriation policy in light of the changes contained in the Tax Act. The Company’s effective income tax rate was 23.7% and 106.9% for the three and six months ended March 31, 2018 , and is expected to be approximately 70% for the full fiscal year 2018.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies Legal Proceedings On July 28, 2016, a former employee filed a class action lawsuit captioned Cryer v. Franklin Resources, Inc., et al. in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California against Franklin, the Franklin Templeton 401(k) Retirement Plan (“Plan”) Investment Committee (“Investment Committee”), and unnamed Investment Committee members. The plaintiff asserts a claim for breach of fiduciary duty under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”), alleging that the defendants selected mutual funds sponsored and managed by the Company (the “Funds”) as investment options for the Plan when allegedly lower-cost and better performing non-proprietary investment vehicles were available. The plaintiff also claims that the total Plan costs, inclusive of investment management and administrative fees, are excessive. The plaintiff alleges that Plan losses exceed $79.0 million and seeks, among other things, damages, disgorgement, rescission of the Plan’s investments in the Funds, attorneys’ fees and costs, and pre- and post-judgment interest. On November 2, 2017, a second former employee, represented by the same law firm, filed another putative class action lawsuit relating to the Plan in the same court, captioned Fernandez v. Franklin Resources Inc., et al. The plaintiff filed an amended complaint on February 6, 2018 naming the same defendants as those named in the Cryer action, as well as the Franklin Board of Directors, the Plan Administrative Committee, individual current and former Franklin directors, and individual current and former Investment Committee members. The plaintiff in this second lawsuit asserts the same ERISA breach of fiduciary duty claim asserted in the Cryer action, as well as claims for alleged prohibited transactions by virtue of the Plan’s investments in the Funds and for an alleged failure to monitor the performance of the Investment Committee. The plaintiff alleges that Plan losses exceed $60.0 million and seeks the same relief sought in the Cryer action, on behalf of the same class. On April 6, 2018, the court consolidated the Fernandez action with the existing Cryer action. Management strongly believes that the claims asserted in the litigation are without merit. The fact discovery phase in the consolidated action is closed and the parties are currently in the expert discovery phase. Franklin is defending against the consolidated action vigorously. Franklin cannot at this time predict the eventual outcome of the litigation or whether it will have a material negative impact on the Company, or reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of loss that may arise from any negative outcome. The Company is from time to time involved in other litigation relating to claims arising in the normal course of business. Management is of the opinion that the ultimate resolution of such claims will not materially affect the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations or liquidity. In management’s opinion, an adequate accrual has been made as of March 31, 2018 to provide for any probable losses that may arise from such matters for which the Company could reasonably estimate an amount. Other Commitments and Contingencies At March 31, 2018 , there were no material changes in the other commitments and contingencies as reported in the Company’s Form 10-K for fiscal year 2017 . |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Measurements | Level 1 assets consist primarily of sponsored funds and other equity securities for which the fair values are based on published net asset values or quoted market prices. Level 2 assets consist of debt and equity securities for which the fair values are determined using independent third-party broker or dealer price quotes. Level 3 assets consist of corporate debt securities for which the fair value is determined using market pricing, and other debt securities and life settlement contracts for which the fair values are based on discounted cash flows using significant unobservable inputs. The fair value of the contingent consideration liability is determined using an income-based method which considers the net present value of anticipated future cash flows. |
