Subsequent Events [Text Block]	18 . SUBSEQUENT EVENT 2019 Credit Agreement On March 29, 2019, the Company entered into the 2019 Credit Agreement between FactSet, as the borrower, and PNC, as the administrative agent and lender. The 2019 Credit Agreement provides for a $750.0 million revolving credit facility. FactSet may request borrowings under the 2019 Revolving Credit Facility until its maturity date of March 29, 2024. The 2019 Credit Agreement also allows FactSet, subject to certain requirements, to arrange for additional borrowings with PNC for an aggregate amount of up to $500.0 million, provided that any such request for additional borrowings must be in a minimum amount of $25.0 million. Borrowings under the loan bear interest on the outstanding principal amount at a rate equal to the daily LIBOR rate plus a spread using a debt leverage pricing grid currently at 0.875%. Interest on the loan outstanding is payable quarterly in arrears and on the maturity date. In conjunction with FactSet’s entrance into the 2019 Credit Agreement, FactSet borrowed $575.0 million of the available $750.0 million provided by the 2019 Revolving Credit Facility, in the form of a LIBOR rate loan. FactSet will pay a commitment fee on the undrawn amount. On March 29, 2019 the borrowings from the 2019 Credit Agreement were used to retire all outstanding debt under the 2017 Credit Agreement.
