Pay vs Performance [Table Text Block]    
Pay versus performance

Pursuant to Section 953(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, the Pay Versus Performance Table (set forth below) is required to include “Compensation Actually Paid” or “CAP,” as calculated per SEC disclosure rules, to the Company’s principal executive officer (“PEO”) and the Company’s non-PEO NEOs, as noted below. “Compensation Actually Paid” represents a new required calculation of compensation that differs significantly from the Summary Compensation Table calculation of compensation, the NEO’s realized or earned compensation, as well as from the way in which the CLP Committee views annual compensation decisions, as discussed in the CD&A. The amounts in the table below are calculated in accordance with SEC rules and do not represent amounts actually earned or realized by NEOs, including with respect to equity awards which remain subject to forfeiture if the vesting conditions are not satisfied.

Performance measures used to link company performance and CAP to the NEOs

Below is a list of financial performance measures, which in the Company’s assessment represent the most important financial performance measures used by the Company to link CAP to the NEOs for fiscal 2023 to Company performance. As noted in the “CD&A,” the Company used both financial and non-financial performance measures in order to link compensation paid to NEOs to Company performance in fiscal 2023. Please see the “CD&A” for further information regarding how each of these performance measures are calculated as well as the Company’s use of non-financial goals in its executive compensation program.

Non-GAAP Measure Description [Text Block]    
(6) As noted in the “CD&A,” for fiscal 2023, the CLP Committee determined that MIP adjusted operating income continues to be viewed as critical to driving stockholder value and, accordingly, was utilized as a component in the fiscal 2023 MIP. MIP Adjusted operating income for WBA represents our operating income, calculated in accordance with GAAP, as adjusted to reflect certain specified adjustments and intersegment transfers as approved by the CLP Committee in accordance with the terms of the MIP. The CLP Committee reserves the right to make these adjustments to help ensure that certain items that are deemed non-operating or otherwise out of management’s control do not impact payouts in either a positive or negative manner in order to support the program objective of incenting operational performance with respect to key short-term performance goals. This measurement is calculated on a constant currency basis, eliminating the effects of variance to the Company’s budget currency rate in a manner consistent with internal management reporting.
