Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Rithm Capital has elected and intends to qualify to be taxed as a REIT for US federal income tax purposes. As such, Rithm Capital will generally not be subject to US federal corporate income tax on that portion of its net income that is distributed to stockholders if it distributes at least 90% of its REIT taxable income to its stockholders by prescribed dates and complies with various other requirements. See Note 24 for additional information regarding Rithm Capital’s taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”).
Interim Financial Statements	Interim Financial Statements — The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP” or “US GAAP”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of Rithm Capital’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows have been included and are of a normal and recurring nature. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Rithm Capital and its consolidated subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Rithm Capital consolidates those entities in which it has control over significant operating, financing and investing decisions of the entity, as well as those entities classified as VIEs in which Rithm Capital is determined to be the primary beneficiary. For entities over which Rithm Capital exercises significant influence, but which do not meet the requirements for consolidation, Rithm Capital applies the equity method of accounting whereby it records its share of the underlying income of such entities unless a fair value option is elected. Distributions from such investments are classified in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows based on the cumulative earnings approach, where all distributions up to cumulative earnings are classified as distributions of earnings.
Reclassifications	Reclassifications — Certain prior period amounts in Rithm Capital’s consolidated financial statements and respective notes have been reclassified to be consistent with the current period presentation. Such reclassifications had no impact on net income, total assets, total liabilities or stockholders’ equity.
Risks and Uncertainties	Risks and Uncertainties — In the normal course of its business, Rithm Capital primarily encounters two significant types of economic risk: credit risk and market risk. Credit risk is the risk of default on Rithm Capital’s investments that results from a borrower’s or counterparty’s inability or unwillingness to make contractually required payments. Market risk reflects changes in the value of investments due to changes in prepayment rates, interest rates, spreads or other market factors, including risks that impact the value of the collateral underlying Rithm Capital’s investments. Taking into consideration these risks along with estimated prepayments, financings, collateral values, payment histories and other information, Rithm Capital believes that the carrying values of its investments are reasonable. Furthermore, for each of the periods presented, a significant portion of Rithm Capital’s assets are dependent on its servicers’ and subservicers’ abilities to perform their servicing obligations with respect to the residential mortgage loans underlying Rithm Capital’s Excess mortgage servicing rights (“Excess MSRs”), MSRs, MSR financing receivables, servicer advance investments, RMBS issued by either public trusts or private label securitization entities (securities issued as such, known as “Non-Agency”) and loans. If a servicer is terminated, Rithm Capital’s right to receive its portion of the cash flows related to interests in servicing related assets may also be terminated.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates — The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Management believes that estimates utilized in preparation of the consolidated financial statements are reasonable. The most critical estimates include those related to fair value measurements of the Company’s assets and liabilities, goodwill and intangible assets, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the reporting date. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences could be material.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions. The standard clarifies that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered in measuring the security’s fair value. The standard also requires certain disclosures for equity securities that are subject to contractual restrictions. The new standard became effective for the Company’s interim and annual periods beginning January 1, 2024. The Company’s adoption of the new standard did not have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements. In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. This standard requires public companies to disclose information about their reportable segments’ significant expenses on an interim and annual basis to provide more transparency about the expenses they incur from revenue generating business units. The new standard is effective for the Company’s annual period ending December 31, 2024 and interim periods starting in 2025. The Company does not expect the adoption of the new standard to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740), which focuses on income tax disclosures around effective tax rates and cash income taxes paid. This standard requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation, including a tabular rate reconciliation for specified categories and additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. The standard also requires a summary of federal, state and local, and foreign income taxes paid, net of refunds received, as well as separate disclosure of payments made to jurisdictions representing 5% or more of total income taxes paid. The new disclosures specified by ASU 2023-09 are required in the Company’s annual financial statements beginning with the year ending December 31, 2025, with early adoption permitted. In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-01, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope Application of Profits Interest and Similar Awards, to clarify the scope application of profits interest and similar awards by adding illustrative guidance to help entities determine whether profit interests and similar awards should be accounted for as share-based payment arrangements within the scope of ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation. The ASU’s amendments are effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2025, including interim periods within those years. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2024-01 to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
