| Strategy [Heading] | rr_StrategyHeading | Investments, Risks, and Performance Principal Investment Strategies |
||
| Strategy Narrative [Text Block] | rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock | The fund will normally invest at least 80% of its net assets in U.S. dollar-denominated mortgage-backed securities. Mortgage-backed securities are debt obligations that are backed by pools of mortgages or that represent claims to cash flows from pools of mortgage loans. The fund may invest in a wide range of mortgage-backed securities, including pass-through certificates and other securities that are backed or issued by the U.S. government and its agencies (such as the Government National Mortgage Association, the Federal National Mortgage Association or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation), mortgage-related securities issued by private banks and other non-governmental issuers, agency and non-agency collateralized mortgage obligations, and other types of mortgage-backed securities as they become available. Mortgage pass-through certificates entitle the holder to a proportionate share of principal and interest payments made on an underlying pool of mortgage loans. The timely payment of interest and principal on securities issued by the Government National Mortgage Association is guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, while securities issued by the Federal National Mortgage Association and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation provide certain guarantees but are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. Collateralized mortgage obligations take the cash flows from other mortgage-backed securities and segregate them into different classes, known as tranches, with various payment schedules and other features. Under normal conditions, all of the securities purchased by the fund will be rated investment-grade (BBB- or higher, or an equivalent rating) at the time of purchase by at least one of the major credit rating agencies or, if unrated, deemed to be investment-grade quality by T. Rowe Price. If a security is split-rated (i.e., assigned different ratings by different credit rating agencies), the higher rating will be used for purposes of this requirement. There is no limit on the maturity of individual securities in the fund’s portfolio or on the fund’s overall weighted average maturity, which will vary and can be influenced by various factors such as the general level of interest rates and principal prepayments of certain mortgage-backed securities. In selecting securities, the portfolio manager may weigh the characteristics of various types of mortgage-backed securities and examine yield relationships in the context of the outlook for interest rates and the economy. For example, if interest rates seem likely to fall, the portfolio manager may purchase mortgage-backed securities expected to have below-average prepayment rates with longer maturities and allocate some assets to bonds or other securities that could appreciate in that environment. The fund may purchase or sell mortgage-backed securities on a delayed delivery or forward commitment basis through the “to-be-announced” (TBA) market. With TBA transactions, the particular securities to be delivered are not identified at the trade date but the delivered securities must meet specified terms and standards. The fund would generally enter into TBA transactions with the intention of taking possession of the underlying mortgage-backed securities. However, in an effort to obtain underlying mortgage securities on more preferable terms or to enhance returns, the fund may extend the settlement by entering into “dollar roll” transactions in which the fund sells mortgage-backed securities and simultaneously agrees to purchase substantially similar securities on a future date. In addition, the fund uses interest rate futures and interest rate swaps primarily in an effort to manage its exposure to changes in interest rates or to adjust portfolio duration. The fund may sell holdings for a variety of reasons, such as to adjust the portfolio’s average maturity or to shift assets into and out of higher-yielding securities. |
||
| Risk [Heading] | rr_RiskHeading | Principal Risks | ||
| Risk Narrative [Text Block] | rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock | As with any mutual fund, there is no guarantee that the fund will achieve its objective. The fund’s share price fluctuates, which means you could lose money by investing in the fund. The principal risks of investing in this fund are summarized as follows: Active management risk The fund is subject to the risk that the investment adviser’s judgments about the attractiveness, value, or potential appreciation of the fund’s investments may prove to be incorrect. If the securities selected and strategies employed by the fund fail to produce the intended results, the fund could underperform other funds with similar objectives and investment strategies. Market risk This is the risk that the value of securities owned by the fund may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unexpectedly, due to factors affecting securities markets generally or particular industries. Interest rate risk This is the risk that a rise in interest rates will cause the price of a fixed rate debt security to fall. Generally, securities with longer maturities and funds with longer weighted average maturities carry greater interest rate risk. The market tends to discount prices of mortgage-backed securities for prepayment risk when interest rates decline. As a result, prices of mortgage-backed securities typically do not rise as much as the prices of comparable bonds during periods of falling interest rates. Prepayment risk This is the risk that during periods of falling interest rates, borrowers will refinance their mortgages before their maturity dates, leading to the prepayment of mortgage-backed securities held by the fund. The fund would lose potential price appreciation and may be forced to reinvest the unanticipated proceeds at lower interest rates, resulting in a decline in the fund’s income. Certain types of collateralized mortgage obligations tend to be more volatile and sensitive to the rate of prepayments than other types of mortgage-backed securities. Extension risk This is the risk that during periods of rising interest rates, prepayments of the underlying mortgages will occur at a slower than expected rate, thereby lengthening the average life of the mortgage-backed securities and making them more volatile. Credit risk This is the risk that an issuer of a debt security could suffer an adverse change in financial condition that results in a payment default, security downgrade, or inability to meet a financial obligation. The fund’s overall exposure to credit risk is relatively low because it invests significantly in higher rated securities and certain securities that are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government or a federally sponsored agency. There is a relatively higher risk of default for U.S. agency issued securities that are not guaranteed by the U.S. government and an even higher risk of default for securities not backed by any government agency, although pooling mortgages helps to mitigate some of the credit risk. Liquidity risk This is the risk that the fund may not be able to sell a holding in a timely manner at a desired price. TBA/Dollar roll risk Although the securities that are delivered in TBA transactions must meet certain standards, there is a risk that the actual securities received by the fund may be less favorable than what was anticipated when entering into the transaction. TBA transactions also involve the risk that a counterparty will fail to deliver the security, exposing the fund to further losses. Whether or not the fund takes delivery of the securities at the termination date of a TBA transaction, it will nonetheless be exposed to changes in the value of the underlying investments during the term of the agreement. Finally, the fund’s portfolio turnover rate and transaction costs would be increased to the extent it enters into dollar roll transactions. Derivatives risk The fund’s use of interest rate futures and interest rate swaps involves the risks that anticipated changes in interest rates, yield curves, or prepayment rates will not be accurately predicted, the possibility of regulatory developments that could negatively affect such instruments, and the potential for losses in excess of the fund’s initial investment. Interest rate swaps also involve the possible failure of a counterparty to perform in accordance with the terms of the swap agreement. |

| The fund invests in a diversified portfolio of high yield corporate bonds, also known as “junk” bonds. The fund will normally invest at least 80% of its net assets (including any borrowings for investment purposes) in bonds that are rated below investment-grade (BB and lower, or an equivalent rating) by a major credit rating agency or are not rated by any credit rating agency but deemed to be below investment-grade by T. Rowe Price. If a bond is split-rated (i.e., rated investment-grade by at least one rating agency and rated below investment-grade by another rating agency), the lower rating will be used for the purposes of this requirement. Junk bonds tend to provide high income in an effort to compensate investors for their higher risk of default, which is the failure to make required interest or principal payments, and should be considered speculative. High yield bond issuers include small or relatively new companies lacking the history or capital to merit investment-grade status, former blue chip companies downgraded because of financial problems, companies electing to borrow heavily to finance or avoid a takeover or buyout, and firms with heavy debt loads. The fund’s weighted average maturity generally is expected to be in the 5- to 10-year range, but will vary with market conditions. In selecting investments, the fund relies extensively on T. Rowe Price research analysts. The fund intends to focus primarily on the higher-quality range (BB and B, or an equivalent rating) of the high yield market. While most assets will typically be invested in U.S. dollar-denominated bonds, the fund may also invest in bonds issued by foreign issuers, including issuers in emerging markets, as well as use forward currency exchange contracts and credit default swaps, in keeping with the fund’s objectives. The fund may invest up to 20% of its total assets in non-U.S. dollar-denominated securities. Forward currency exchange contracts would typically be used to protect the fund’s foreign bond holdings from adverse currency movements relative to the U.S. dollar and credit default swaps would typically be used to protect the value of certain portfolio holdings or to manage the fund’s overall exposure to changes in credit quality. The fund may sell holdings for a variety of reasons, such as to adjust the portfolio’s average maturity or credit quality, to shift assets into and out of higher-yielding securities, or to reduce its exposure to certain securities. |

| As with any mutual fund, there is no guarantee that the fund will achieve its objective. The fund’s share price fluctuates, which means you could lose money by investing in the fund. The principal risks of investing in this fund are summarized as follows: Active management risk The fund is subject to the risk that the investment adviser’s judgments about the attractiveness, value, or potential appreciation of the fund’s investments may prove to be incorrect. If the securities selected and strategies employed by the fund fail to produce the intended results, the fund could underperform other funds with similar objectives and investment strategies. Market risk This is the risk that the value of securities owned by the fund may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unexpectedly, due to factors affecting securities markets generally or particular industries. Credit risk This is the risk that an issuer of a debt security could suffer an adverse change in financial condition that results in a payment default, security downgrade, or inability to meet a financial obligation. The fund is exposed to greater credit risk and volatility than other bond funds. High yield bond issuers are more likely to suffer an adverse change in financial condition that would result in the inability to meet a financial obligation. Accordingly, securities issued by such companies carry a higher risk of default and should be considered speculative. Interest rate risk This risk refers to the chance that interest rates will increase, causing a decline in bond prices. (Bond prices and interest rates usually move in opposite directions.) Generally, securities with longer maturities and funds with longer weighted average maturities carry greater interest rate risk. Liquidity risk This is the risk that the fund may not be able to sell a holding in a timely manner at a desired price. Foreign investing risk This is the risk that the fund’s investments in foreign securities may be adversely affected by political, social, and economic conditions overseas, reduced liquidity, or decreases in foreign currency values relative to the U.S. dollar. These risks are heightened for the fund’s investments in emerging markets. Derivatives risk To the extent the fund uses forward currency exchange contracts and credit default swaps, it is exposed to additional volatility in comparison to investing directly in bonds and other debt securities. These instruments can be illiquid and difficult to value, may involve leverage so that small changes produce disproportionate losses for the fund, and instruments not traded on an exchange are subject to the risk that a counterparty to the transaction will fail to meet its obligations under the derivatives contract. The fund’s principal use of derivatives involves the risk that anticipated changes in currency values, currency exchange rates, or the creditworthiness of an issuer will not be accurately predicted, which could significantly harm the fund’s performance. |
