Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The consolidated condensed financial statements of Cintas Corporation (Cintas, the Company, we, us or our) included herein have been prepared by Cintas, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. While we believe that the disclosures are adequately presented, we suggest that these consolidated condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2020. A summary of our significant accounting policies is presented beginning on page 40 of that report. There have been no material changes in the accounting policies followed by Cintas during the current fiscal year other than the adoption of new accounting pronouncements discussed below. Interim results are subject to variations and are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for a full fiscal year. In the opinion of management, adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of the consolidated results of the interim periods shown have been made. Inventories, net are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or net realizable value. Inventory is comprised of the following: (In thousands) August 31, May 31, Raw materials $ 18,560 $ 18,661 Work in process 26,747 29,497 Finished goods 442,858 360,740 $ 488,165 $ 408,898 Inventories are recorded net of reserves for obsolete inventory of $48.2 million and $45.5 million at August 31, 2020 and May 31, 2020, respectively. The inventory obsolescence reserve is determined by specific identification, as well as an estimate based on Cintas' historical rates of obsolescence. Once a specific inventory item is written down to the lower of cost or net realizable value, a new cost basis has been established, and that inventory item cannot subsequently be marked up. New Accounting Pronouncements Effective June 1, 2020, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-13, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” ASU 2016-13 replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. In connection with recognizing credit losses on accounts receivable and other financial instruments, Cintas now uses a forward-looking expected loss model rather than the incurred loss model. Adoption of ASU 2016-13 requires using a modified retrospective approach through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the effective date to align existing credit loss methodology with the new standard. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated condensed financial statements. No other new accounting pronouncement recently issued or newly effective had or is expected to have a material impact on Cintas' consolidated condensed financial statements. |

Revenue Recognition Policy More than 95% of the Company's revenue is derived from fees for route servicing of Uniform Rental and Facility Services, First Aid and Safety Services and Fire Protection Services, performed by a Cintas employee-partner, at the customer's location of business. Revenues from our route servicing customer contracts represent a single-performance obligation. The Company recognizes these revenues over time as services are performed based on the nature of services provided and contractual rates (output method). The Company's remaining revenues, primarily within the Uniform Direct Sales operating segment, and representing less than 5% of the Company's total revenues, are recognized when the obligations under the terms of a contract with a customer are satisfied. This generally occurs when the goods are transferred to the customer. Revenue recorded is presented net of sales and other taxes we collect on behalf of governmental authorities. Shipping and handling costs charged to customers are treated as fulfillment activities and are recorded in both revenue and cost of sales at the time control is transferred to the customer. Certain of our customer contracts, primarily within our Uniform Direct Sales operating segment, include pricing terms and conditions that include components of variable consideration. The variable consideration is typically in the form of consideration paid to a customer based on performance metrics specified within the contract. Specifically, some contracts contain discounts or rebates that the customer can earn through the achievement of specified volume levels. Each component of variable consideration is earned based on the Company's actual performance during the measurement period specified within the contract. To determine the transaction price, the Company estimates the variable consideration using the most likely amount method, based on the specific contract provisions and known performance results during the relevant measurement period. When determining if variable consideration should be constrained, the Company considers whether factors outside its control could result in a significant reversal of revenue. In making these assessments, the Company considers the likelihood and magnitude of a potential reversal. The Company's performance period generally corresponds with the monthly invoice period. No constraints on our revenue recognition were applied during the three months ended August 31, 2020 or 2019. The Company reassesses these estimates during each reporting period. Cintas maintains a liability for these discounts and rebates within accrued liabilities on the consolidated condensed balance sheets. Variable consideration also includes consideration paid to a customer at the beginning of a contract. Cintas capitalizes this consideration and amortizes it over the life of the contract as a reduction to revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606, "Revenue" (Topic 606). These assets are included in other assets, net on the consolidated condensed balance sheet. Additionally, in accordance with Topic 606, certain Uniform Direct Sales customer contracts contain a provision with an enforceable right of payment and the underlying product has no alternative use to Cintas. Consequently, when both aforementioned provisions are prevalent in a customer contract, the revenue is recorded for finished goods that the customer is obligated to purchase under the termination terms of the contract. Costs to Obtain a Contract The Company capitalizes commission expenses paid to our employee-partners when the commissions are deemed to be incremental for obtaining the route servicing customer contract. The deferred commissions are amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected period of benefit. We review the deferred commission balances for impairment on an ongoing basis. Deferred commissions are classified as current or noncurrent based on the timing of when we expect to recognize the expense. The current portion is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets and the noncurrent portion is included in other assets, net on the Company's consolidated condensed balance sheets. As of August 31, 2020, the current and noncurrent assets related to deferred commissions totaled $77.5 million and $230.0 million, respectively. As of May 31, 2020, the current and noncurrent assets related to deferred commissions totaled $76.2 million and $227.1 million, respectively. We recorded amortization expense related to deferred commissions of $20.4 million and $18.8 million during the three months ended August 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. These expenses are classified in selling and administrative expenses on the consolidated condensed statements of income. |
Leases

Leases [Abstract] | |
Leases | Leases Cintas has operating leases for certain operating facilities, vehicles and equipment, which provide the right to use the underlying asset and require lease payments over the term of the lease. Each new contract is evaluated to determine if an arrangement contains a lease and whether that lease meets the classification criteria of a finance or operating lease. All identified leases are recorded on the consolidated condensed balance sheet with a corresponding operating lease right-of-use asset, net, representing the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term and the operating lease liabilities representing the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Short-term operating leases, which have an initial term of 12 months or less, are not recorded on the consolidated condensed balance sheet. Operating lease right-of-use assets, net and operating lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date of the lease based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term and include options to extend or terminate the lease when they are reasonably certain to be exercised. The present value of lease payments is determined primarily using the incremental borrowing rate (discount rate) based on the information available at lease commencement date. Lease expense for operating leases is recorded on a straight-line basis over the lease term and variable lease costs are recorded as incurred. Both lease expense and variable lease costs are primarily recorded in cost of uniform rental and facility services and other on the Company's consolidated condensed statements of income. The Company's lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. Operating lease costs, including short-term lease expense and variable lease costs which were immaterial in each period, were $17.1 million and $17.2 million for the three months ended August 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The following table provides supplemental information related to the Company's consolidated condensed statements of cash flows for the three months ended August 31: (In thousands) 2020 2019 Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of operating lease liabilities $ 12,254 $ 12,342 Operating lease right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for new and renewed $ 9,317 $ 6,828 Other information related to the operating lease right-of-use assets, net and operating lease liabilities was as follows: August 31, 2020 May 31, Weighted-average remaining lease term - operating leases 5.10 years 5.19 years Weighted-average discount rate - operating leases 2.62% 2.66% The contractual future minimum lease payments of Cintas' operating lease liabilities by fiscal year are as follows as of August 31, 2020: (In thousands) 2021 (remaining nine months) $ 36,380 2022 40,728 2023 32,079 2024 22,423 2025 15,766 Thereafter 29,643 Total payments 177,019 Less interest (11,878) Total present value of lease payments $ 165,141 |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements All financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually) have been classified within the most appropriate level within the fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used to determine the fair value at the consolidated condensed balance sheet date. These financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below: As of August 31, 2020 (In thousands) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Fair Value Cash and cash equivalents $ 421,542 $ — $ — $ 421,542 Other assets, net: Interest rate lock agreements — 6,425 — 6,425 Total assets at fair value $ 421,542 $ 6,425 $ — $ 427,967 Long-term accrued liabilities: Interest rate lock agreements $ — $ 156,051 $ — $ 156,051 Total liabilities at fair value $ — $ 156,051 $ — $ 156,051 As of May 31, 2020 (In thousands) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Fair Value Cash and cash equivalents $ 145,402 $ — $ — $ 145,402 Other assets, net Interest rate lock agreements — 1,546 — 1,546 Total assets at fair value $ 145,402 $ 1,546 $ — $ 146,948 Long-term accrued liabilities: Interest rate lock agreements $ — $ 165,686 $ — $ 165,686 Total liabilities at fair value $ — $ 165,686 $ — $ 165,686 Cintas’ cash and cash equivalents are generally classified within Level 1 or Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Financial instruments classified as Level 1 are based on quoted market prices in active markets, and financial instruments classified as Level 2 are based on quoted market prices, broker or dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency. The types of financial instruments Cintas classifies within Level 1 include most bank deposits and money market securities. Cintas does not adjust the quoted market price for such financial instruments. The fair values of outstanding interest rate lock agreements are included in other assets, net and long-term accrued liabilities at both August 31, 2020 and May 31, 2020. The fair values of Cintas' interest rate lock agreements are based on similar exchange traded derivatives (market approach) and are, therefore, included within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value was determined by comparing the locked rates against the benchmarked treasury rate. No other amounts included in other assets, net or long-term accrued liabilities are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. The methods described above may produce a fair value that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while Cintas believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the consolidated condensed balance sheet dates. |

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
Earnings Per Share | Earnings Per Share Cintas uses the two-class method to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share as a result of outstanding participating securities in the form of restricted stock awards. The following tables set forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share using the two-class method for amounts attributable to Cintas’ common shares. Three Months Ended Basic Earnings per Share (in thousands except per share data) August 31, August 31, Net income $ 300,005 $ 250,812 Less: income allocated to participating securities 2,173 2,016 Income available to common shareholders $ 297,832 $ 248,796 Basic weighted average common shares outstanding 104,110 103,543 Basic earnings per share $ 2.86 $ 2.40 Three Months Ended Diluted Earnings per Share (in thousands except per share data) August 31, August 31, Net income $ 300,005 $ 250,812 Less: income allocated to participating securities 2,173 2,016 Income available to common shareholders $ 297,832 $ 248,796 Basic weighted average common shares outstanding 104,110 103,543 Effect of dilutive securities – employee stock options 3,019 3,540 Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding 107,129 107,083 Diluted earnings per share $ 2.78 $ 2.32 For both the three months ended August 31, 2020 and 2019, options granted to purchase 0.2 million shares of Cintas common stock were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share. The exercise prices of these options were greater than the average market price of the common stock (anti-dilutive). On October 30, 2018, Cintas announced that the Board of Directors authorized a $1.0 billion share buyback program, which does not have an expiration date. On October 29, 2019, we announced that the Board of Directors authorized a new $1.0 billion share buyback program, which does not have an expiration date. The following table summarizes the buyback activity by program and for the three months ended August 31: 2020 2019 Buyback Program (In thousands except per share data) Shares Avg.

(G&K) in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017, and they were recorded at fair value. The interest rate shown above is the effective interest rate. The principal amount of these notes is $50.0 million with a stated interest rate of 3.73%. (2) Cintas assumed these senior notes with the acquisition of G&K in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017, and they were recorded at fair value. The interest rate shown above is the effective interest rate. The principal amount of these notes is $50.0 million with a stated interest rate of 3.88%. Cintas' senior notes, excluding the G&K senior notes assumed with the acquisition of G&K in fiscal 2017 and term loan, are recorded at cost, net of debt issuance costs. The fair value of the long-term debt is estimated using Level 2 inputs based on general market prices. The carrying value and fair value of Cintas' debt as of August 31, 2020 were $2,550.0 million and $2,840.2 million, respectively, and as of May 31, 2020 were $2,550.0 million and $2,804.2 million, respectively. The credit agreement that supports our commercial paper program was amended and restated on May 24, 2019. The amendment increased the capacity of the revolving credit facility from $600.0 million to $1.0 billion and created a new term loan of $200.0 million. The credit agreement has an accordion feature that provides Cintas the ability to request increases to the borrowing commitments under either the revolving credit facility or the term loan of up to $250.0 million in the aggregate, subject to customary conditions. The maturity date of the revolving credit facility is May 23, 2024 . As of August 31, 2020 and May 31, 2020, t her e was no commercial paper outstanding and no borrowings on our revolving credit facility. Cintas uses interest rate locks to manage our overall interest expense as interest rate locks effectively change the interest rate of specific debt issuances. The interest rate locks are entered into to protect against unfavorable movements in the benchmark treasury rate related to forecasted debt issuances. Cintas used interest rate lock agreements to hedge against movements in the treasury rates at the time Cintas issued its senior notes in fiscal 2007, fiscal 2012, fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2017. The amortization of the cash flow hedges resulted in an increase to other comprehensive loss of $0.4 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended August 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. During fiscal 2020, Cintas entered into interest rate lock agreements with a notional value of $950.0 million for a forecasted debt issuance in connection with the upcoming debt maturities. As of August 31, 2020, the fair values of these interest rate locks were an asset of $6.4 million and a liability of $48.2 million, recorded in other assets and long-term accrued liabilities, respectively, and in other comprehensive loss, net of tax. As of May 31, 2020, the fair values of these interest rate locks were an asset of $1.5 million and a liability of $53.8 million, recorded in other assets and long-term accrued liabilities, respectively, and in other comprehensive loss, net of tax. During fiscal 2019, Cintas entered into interest rate lock agreements with a notional value of $500.0 million for a forecasted debt issuance in connection with the upcoming debt maturities. As of August 31, 2020 and May 31, 2020, the fair values of these interest rate locks were a liability of $107.8 million and $111.9 million, respectively, and were recorded in long-term accrued liabilities and in other comprehensive loss, net of tax. These interest rate locks had no impact on net income or cash flows from continuing operations for the three months ended August 31, 2020 or 2019. Cintas has certain covenants related to debt agreements. These covenants limit Cintas' ability to incur certain liens, to engage in sale-leaseback transactions and to merge, consolidate or sell all or substantially all of Cintas' assets. These covenants also require Cintas to maintain certain debt to consolidated EBITDA and interest coverage ratios. Cross-default provisions exist between certain debt instruments. If a default of a significant covenant were to occur, the default could result in an acceleration of the maturity of the indebtedness, impair liquidity and limit the ability to raise future capital. Cintas was in compliance with all of the debt covenants for all periods presented. |

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes In the normal course of business, Cintas provides for uncertain tax positions and the related interest and adjusts its unrecognized tax benefits and accrued interest accordingly. As of August 31, 2020 and May 31, 2020, recorded unrecognized tax benefits were $36.5 million and $35.9 million, respectively, and are included in long-term accrued liabilities on the consolidated condensed balance sheet. The majority of Cintas' operations are in North America. Cintas is required to file federal income tax returns, as well as state income tax returns in a majority of the domestic states and also in certain Canadian provinces. At times, Cintas is subject to audits in these jurisdictions. The audits, by nature, are sometimes complex and can require several years to resolve. The final resolution of any such tax audit could result in either a reduction in Cintas' accruals or an increase in its income tax provision, either of which could have an impact on the consolidated results of operations in any given period. All United States federal income tax returns are closed to audit through fiscal 2016. Cintas is currently in various audits in certain foreign jurisdictions and certain domestic states. The years under foreign and domestic state audits cover fiscal years back to 2013. Based on the resolution of the various audits and other potential regulatory developments, it is reasonably possible that the balance of unrecognized tax benefits would not change for the fiscal year ending May 31, 2021. |

Retirement Benefits [Abstract] | |
Pension Plans | Pension Plans In conjunction with the acquisition of G&K in fiscal 2017, Cintas assumed G&K's noncontributory defined benefit pension plan (the Pension Plan) that covers substantially all legacy G&K employees who were employed as of July 1, 2005, except certain employees who were covered by union-administered plans. Benefits are based on the number of years of service and each employee’s compensation near retirement. We will make annual contributions to the Pension Plan consistent with federal funding requirements. The Pension Plan was frozen by G&K effective December 31, 2006. Future growth in benefits will not occur beyond this date. Applicable accounting standards require that the consolidated condensed balance sheet reflect the funded status of the Pension Plan. The funded status of the Pension Plan is measured as the difference between the plan assets at fair value and the projected benefit obligation (PBO). The PBO represents the actuarial present value of benefits expected to be paid upon retirement based on estimated future compensation levels. The measurement of the PBO is based on the Company’s estimates and actuarial valuations. The net pension liability is included in long-term accrued liabilities on the consolidated condensed balance sheets. Unrecognized differences between actual amounts and estimates based on actuarial assumptions are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss in our consolidated condensed balance sheets. The difference between actual amounts and estimates based on actuarial assumptions are recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) in the period in which they occur. The Pension Plan assumptions are evaluated annually and are updated as deemed necessary. The components of net periodic pension benefit are summarized as follows for the three months ended August 31: (In thousands) 2020 2019 Interest cost $ 512 $ 720 Expected return on assets (731) (740) Amortization of net loss 56 — Net periodic pension benefit $ (163) $ (20) |

New Accounting Pronouncements | New Accounting Pronouncements Effective June 1, 2020, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-13, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” ASU 2016-13 replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. In connection with recognizing credit losses on accounts receivable and other financial instruments, Cintas now uses a forward-looking expected loss model rather than the incurred loss model. Adoption of ASU 2016-13 requires using a modified retrospective approach through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the effective date to align existing credit loss methodology with the new standard. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated condensed financial statements. No other new accounting pronouncement recently issued or newly effective had or is expected to have a material impact on Cintas' consolidated condensed financial statements. |
