| Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
| Income Taxes | Income Taxes The Company's effective income tax rate was 17.2% and 21.6% in the second quarter of 2024 and 2023, and 16.0% and 20.6% in the first six months of 2024 and 2023, respectively. The effective income tax rate in the second quarter and in the first six months of 2024 was favorably impacted compared to the second quarter and first six months of 2023 due to changes in the geographical mix of earnings amongst the United States and foreign tax jurisdictions. The effective income tax rate in the second quarter and in the first six months of 2024 and 2023 was also favorably impacted as a result of excess tax benefits recognized upon settlement of share-based compensation awards. For the second quarter of 2024 and 2023 this impact was $3 million and $2 million, respectively, and for the first six months of 2024 and 2023 this impact was $12 million and $10 million, respectively. Numerous foreign jurisdictions have agreed to implement the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development’s (“OECD”) Pillar 2 global corporate minimum tax rate of 15% on companies with revenues of at least €750 million, which went into effect in 2024. The Company has evaluated the effect of this for the second quarter of 2024 and does not expect any material impacts for 2024. The Company will continue to monitor as additional jurisdictions enact Pillar 2 legislation.
