Share-based Payment Arrangement, Noncash Expense [Abstract]  
Schedule of Share-based Payment Arrangement, Cost by Plan
In fiscal 2022, the Company changed the terms of its annual performance share awards that were issued in the first quarter. The new terms meet the criteria for equity classification in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, and therefore expense will be recognized on a fixed basis over the three-year performance period. The terms of the performance share awards issued in fiscal 2020 and 2021 are unchanged and therefore continue to be accounted for as liability awards and marked-to-market each period based on changes in the stock price.

AspenTech also has stock-based compensation plans that are settled in its own stock. These plans consist of restricted stock units and stock options.

Total compensation expense and income tax benefits for Emerson and AspenTech stock options and incentive shares follows.
