Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Overview and Basis of Presentation	Overview and Basis of Presentation Description of Business Okta, Inc. (the “Company”) is the leading independent identity provider. The Company's Workforce Identity and Customer Identity Clouds are powered by the Company's Identity Platform enabling customers to securely connect the right people to the right technologies and services at the right time, and developers to securely and efficiently embed identity into the software they build, allowing them to innovate and focus on their core mission. The Company was incorporated in January 2009 as Saasure Inc., a California corporation, and was later reincorporated in April 2010 under the name Okta, Inc. as a Delaware corporation. The Company is headquartered in San Francisco, California. Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements, which include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company conducts business globally and is managed, operated and organized by major functional departments that operate on a consolidated basis. As result, the Company operates in one reportable segment. The Company’s fiscal year ends on January 31. References to fiscal 2023, for example, refer to the fiscal year ended January 31, 2023. Certain reclassifications of components of prior period operating cash flows have been made in the consolidated statements of cash flows to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on the aggregate cash flow classifications as previously reported. In fiscal 2023, the Company elected to change its presentation of dollars from thousands to millions. As a result, the sum of the components reported in millions may not equal the total amount reported in millions due to rounding. In addition, percentages presented may not add to their respective totals or recalculate due to rounding. Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates are based on historical experience and on other assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could vary from those estimates. The Company’s most significant estimates include the valuation of deferred income tax assets, uncertain tax positions, assets and liabilities acquired in business combinations, and loss contingencies related to litigation. Foreign Currency The functional currencies of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are the respective local currencies. Translation adjustments arising from the use of differing exchange rates from period to period are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within the consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in interest and other, net in the consolidated statements of operations and were not material in fiscal 2023, 2022 or 2021. All assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate during the period.
