| Fees and Expenses
|
This table describes the fees and expenses
that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the fund. You may also incur brokerage commissions
and other charges when buying or selling shares of the fund, which are not reflected in the table or
example below.

| Annual
fund operating expenses (expenses that you pay each
year as a percentage of the value of your investment)

| Example
|
| This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the fund with the cost of investing
in other funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the fund for the time periods indicated
and then sell all of your shares at the end of those periods, that your investment has a 5% return each
year, and that the fund’s fees and expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher
or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

|
| Portfolio Turnover
|
Portfolio Turnover The
fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over”
its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result
in higher taxes when the fund’s shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected
in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the fund’s performance. During the most
recent fiscal year, the fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 21.2% of the average value of its portfolio.
|
| Principal Investment Strategies
|
The fund normally invests
at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in securities of companies
with growth characteristics. For purposes of the fund’s 80% investment policy, the fund considers a
company to have growth characteristics if the company’s securities are represented in an appropriate
third-party growth-oriented index. Any derivatives that provide exposure to the investment focus suggested
by the fund’s name, or to one or more
market
risk factors associated with the investment focus suggested by the fund’s name, are counted (as applicable)
toward compliance with the fund’s 80% investment policy. The fund invests primarily in U.S. equity
securities and uses a growth style of investing. The adviser looks for companies with an above-average
rate of earnings, cash flow growth, and a lucrative niche in the economy that gives them the ability
to sustain earnings momentum even during times of slow economic growth. The fund may purchase the stocks
of companies of any size, but typically focuses on large-cap companies. The portfolio is typically constructed
in a “bottom up” manner, an approach that focuses more on evaluations of individual stocks than on
analysis of overall economic trends and market cycles. Sector allocations are largely the result
of the fund’s focus on stock selection. At times, the fund may have a significant portion of its assets
invested in the same economic sector, such as the information technology sector. The fund is nondiversified,
which means it may invest a greater percentage of its assets in a particular issuer than is permissible
for a diversified fund.

| Principal Risks
|
Risk Table - T. Rowe Price Growth ETF
|
Risk [Text Block] |
| Risk Lose Money [Member] |
The fund’s share price fluctuates, which means you could lose
money by investing in the fund.
|
| Growth investing |
Growth investing: The fund’s growth
approach to investing could cause it to underperform other stock funds that employ a different investment
style. Growth stocks tend to be more volatile than certain other types of stocks and their prices may
fluctuate more dramatically than the overall stock market. A stock with growth characteristics can have
sharp price declines due to decreases in current or expected earnings and may lack dividends that can
help cushion its share price in a declining market.
|
| Market conditions |
Market conditions: The value of the fund’s
investments may decrease, sometimes rapidly or unexpectedly, due to factors affecting an issuer held
by the fund, particular industries, or the overall securities markets. A variety of factors can increase
the volatility of the fund’s holdings and markets generally, including economic, political, or regulatory
developments, recessions, inflation, rapid interest rate changes, war, military conflict, acts of terrorism,
natural disasters, and outbreaks of infectious illnesses or other widespread public health issues (such
as the coronavirus pandemic) and related governmental and public responses (including sanctions). Certain
events may cause instability across global markets, including reduced liquidity and disruptions in trading
markets, while some events may affect certain geographic regions, countries, sectors, and industries
more significantly than others. Government intervention in markets may impact interest rates, market
volatility, and security pricing. These adverse developments may cause broad declines in market value
due to short-term market movements or for significantly longer periods during more prolonged market downturns.
|
| Stock investing |
Stock
investing: Stocks generally fluctuate in value more than bonds and may decline significantly
over short time periods. There is a chance that stock prices overall will decline because
stock markets tend to move in cycles, with periods of rising and falling prices. The value of stocks
held by the fund may decline due to general weakness or volatility in the stock markets in which the
fund invests or because of factors that affect a particular company or industry.
|
| Risk Nondiversified Status [Member] |
Nondiversification:
As a nondiversified fund, the fund has the ability to invest a larger percentage of its assets in the
securities of a smaller number of issuers than a diversified fund. As a result, poor performance by a
single issuer could adversely affect fund performance more than if the fund were invested in a larger
number of issuers. The fund’s share price can be expected to fluctuate more than that of a similar
fund that is more broadly diversified.
|
| Large-cap stocks |
Large-cap stocks: Securities issued by large-cap companies
tend to be less volatile than securities issued by small- and mid-cap companies. However, large-cap companies
may not be able to attain the high growth rates of successful small- and mid-cap companies, especially
during strong economic periods, and may be unable to respond as quickly to competitive challenges.
|
| Sector exposure |
Sector
exposure: To the extent the fund invests in specific industries or sectors, it may be more
susceptible to developments affecting those industries and sectors.
|
| Information technology sector |
Information technology
sector: Information technology companies face intense competition, both domestically
and internationally, which may have an adverse effect on their profit margins. Like other technology
companies, information technology companies may have limited product lines, markets, financial resources,
or personnel.
|
| Authorized Participant |
Authorized Participant: Only an Authorized Participant may engage
in creation or redemption transactions directly with the fund. The fund has a limited number of intermediaries
that act as Authorized Participants, and none of these Authorized Participants are or will be obligated
to engage in creation or redemption transactions. To the extent that Authorized Participants exit the
business or are unable to proceed with creation or redemption orders with respect to the fund and no
other Authorized Participant is able to step forward to create or redeem, (i) the market price of the
fund’s shares may trade at a premium or discount to its net asset value (NAV), (ii) an active trading
market for the fund may not develop or be maintained, and (iii) there is no assurance that the requirements
of the exchange necessary to maintain the listing of the fund will continue to be met or remain unchanged.
|
| ETF shares trading |
ETF
shares trading: Shares of the fund are listed for trading on a national securities exchange and
are bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. The market prices of shares are expected
to fluctuate in response to changes in the fund’s NAV, the value of the fund’s holdings, and supply
and demand for shares. Disruptions to creations and redemptions, significant market volatility, potential
lack of an active trading market for the shares (including through a trading halt), or other factors
may widen bid-ask spreads and result in the shares trading significantly above (at a premium) or below
(at a discount) to NAV or to the value of the fund’s holdings. If a shareholder purchases shares at
a time when the market price is at a premium to the NAV or sells shares at a time when the market price
is at a discount to the NAV, the shareholder may sustain losses.
|
| New fund |
New
fund: Because the fund is new, it has a relatively small number of shareholders and
assets under management. As a result, the portfolio manager may experience difficulties in fully implementing
the fund’s investment program and may be less able to respond to increases in shareholder transaction
activity. The fund’s limited operating history could make it more difficult to evaluate the performance
of the portfolio manager and the fund’s investment strategies. In addition, there can be no assurance
that the fund will ultimately grow to an economically viable size, which could lead to the fund eventually
ceasing its operations.
|
| Active management |
Active management: The fund’s overall investment program and holdings selected
by the fund’s investment adviser may underperform the broad markets, relevant indices, or other funds
with similar objectives and investment strategies.
|
| Cybersecurity breaches |
Cybersecurity breaches: The fund could be
harmed by intentional cyberattacks and other cybersecurity breaches, including unauthorized access to
the fund’s assets, confidential information, or other proprietary information. In addition, a cybersecurity
breach could cause one of the fund’s service providers or financial intermediaries to suffer unauthorized
data access, data corruption, or loss of operational functionality.

The
following performance information provides some indication of the risks of investing in the fund. The
fund’s performance information represents only past performance (before and after taxes) and is not
necessarily an indication of future results. The following bar chart illustrates how much returns can differ
from year to year by showing calendar year returns and the best and worst calendar quarter returns during
those years for the fund.

| Average Annual Total Returns Periods
ended December 31, 2024
|
The following table shows the average annual total returns
for each class of the fund that has been in operation for at least one full calendar year. The fund’s
performance information included in the table is compared with a regulatory required index that represents
an overall securities market (Regulatory Benchmark). In addition, the table may also include one or more
indexes that more closely aligns to the fund’s investment strategy (Strategy Benchmark(s)). In addition, the table
shows hypothetical after-tax returns to demonstrate how taxes paid by a shareholder may influence returns.
After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax
rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor’s
tax situation and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors
who hold their fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as a 401(k) account or an IRA. After-tax
returns are shown only for the Investor Class and will differ for other share classes.
