Revenue Recognition

Revenue Disaggregation

Autodesk recognizes revenue from the sale of (1) product subscriptions, cloud service offerings, and enterprise business agreements (“EBAs”), (2) renewal fees for existing maintenance plan agreements that were initially purchased with a perpetual software license, and (3) consulting, training, and other products and services. The three categories are presented as line items on Autodesk's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Information regarding the components of Autodesk's net revenue from contracts with customers by product family, geographic location, sales channel, and product type is as follows:

____________________

(1) During fiscal 2023, we corrected an immaterial classification error and reclassified certain revenue amounts between Architecture, Engineering and Construction and AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT. The results for the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2022, have been adjusted to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications did not impact total net revenue.

Payments for product subscriptions, industry collections, cloud subscriptions, and maintenance subscriptions are typically due up front with payment terms of 30 to 45 days. Payments on EBAs are typically due in annual installments over the contract term, with payment terms of 30 to 60 days. Effective in fiscal 2024, payments on multi-year subscriptions are typically due in annual installments over the contract term, with payment terms of 30 to 60 days. Autodesk does not have any material variable consideration, such as obligations for returns, refunds, warranties, or amounts due to customers for which significant estimation or judgment is required as of the reporting date.

Remaining performance obligations consist of total short-term, long-term, and unbilled deferred revenue. As of April 30, 2023, Autodesk had remaining performance obligations of $5.39 billion, which represents the total contract price allocated to remaining performance obligations, which are generally recognized over the next three years. We expect to recognize $3.51 billion or 65% of our remaining performance obligations as revenue during the next 12 months. We expect to recognize the remaining $1.88 billion or 35% of our remaining performance obligations as revenue thereafter.

The amount of remaining performance obligations may be impacted by the specific timing, duration, and size of customer subscription and support agreements, the specific timing of customer renewals, and foreign currency fluctuations.

Contract Balances

We receive payments from customers based on a billing schedule as established in our contracts. Contract assets relate to performance completed in advance of scheduled billings. Contract assets were not material as of April 30, 2023. Deferred revenue relates to billings in advance of performance under the contract. The primary changes in our contract assets and deferred revenues are due to our performance under the contracts and billings.

Revenue recognized during the three months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022, that was included in the deferred revenue balances at January 31, 2023 and 2022, was $1.06 billion and $987 million, respectively. The satisfaction of performance obligations typically lags behind payments received under revenue contracts from customers.

Cloud Computing Arrangements Autodesk enters into certain cloud-based software hosting arrangements that are accounted for as service contracts. Costs incurred for these arrangements are capitalized for application development activities, if material, and immediately expensed for preliminary project activities and post-implementation activities. Autodesk amortizes the capitalized development costs straight-line over the fixed, non-cancellable term of the associated hosting arrangement plus any reasonably certain renewal periods. The capitalized costs are included in “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” and “Long-term other assets” on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Capitalized costs were $203 million and $190 million at April 30, 2023, and January 31, 2023, respectively. Accumulated amortization was $50 million and $41 million at April 30, 2023, and January 31, 2023, respectively. Amortization expense for the three months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022 was $9 million and $4 million, respectively.

- Definition

The entire disclosure of revenue from contract with customer to transfer good or service and to transfer nonfinancial asset. Includes, but is not limited to, disaggregation of revenue, credit loss recognized from contract with customer, judgment and change in judgment related to contract with customer, and asset recognized from cost incurred to obtain or fulfill contract with customer. Excludes insurance and lease contracts.

These currency collars and forward contracts are designated and documented as cash flow hedges. The notional amounts of these contracts are presented net settled and were $990 million at April 30, 2023, and $934 million at January 31, 2023. Outstanding contracts are recognized as either assets or liabilities on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at fair value.

Accounting Standards Adopted In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-03, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions” (“ASU 2022-03”), which applies to all equity securities measured at fair value that are subject to contractual sale restrictions. ASU 2022-03 prohibits entities from taking into account contractual restrictions on the sale of equity securities when estimating fair value and introduces required disclosures for such transactions. ASU 2022-03 is effective for Autodesk's fiscal year beginning February 1, 2024, and interim periods within that fiscal year, with early adoption permitted. Autodesk adopted ASU 2022-03 as of February 1, 2023. The adoption of ASU 2022-03 did not have a material impact on Autodesk’s consolidated financial statements.

Restricted Stock Units

A summary of restricted stock activity for the three months ended April 30, 2023, is as follows:


	Unvested restricted stock units	Weighted average grant date fair value per share
	(in thousands)
Unvested restricted stock units at January 31, 2023	4,848	$	216.20

Performance Adjustment (1)	(10)	190.82
Unvested restricted stock units at April 30, 2023	6,506	$	209.21

_______________

(1)Based on Autodesk's financial results and relative total stockholder return for the fiscal 2023 performance period. The performance stock units were attained at rates ranging from 86% to 110% of the target award.

The fair value of the shares vested during the three months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022 was $274 million and $214 million, respectively.

During the three months ended April 30, 2023, Autodesk granted 2,806 thousand restricted stock units. Restricted stock units are not considered outstanding stock at the time of grant, as the holders of these units are not entitled to any of the rights of a stockholder, including voting rights.

Autodesk recorded stock-based compensation expense related to restricted stock units of $130 million and $117 million during the three months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

During the three months ended April 30, 2023, Autodesk settled liability-classified awards in the amount of $1 million. There were no settlement of liability-classified awards during the three months ended April 30, 2022. The ultimate number of shares earned was based on the Autodesk closing stock price on the vesting date. As these awards were settled in a fixed dollar amount of shares, the awards were accounted for as a liability-classified award and were expensed using the straight-line method over the vesting period.

During the three months ended April 30, 2023, Autodesk granted 311 thousand performance stock units for which the ultimate number of shares earned is determined based on the achievement of performance criteria at the end of the stated service and performance period. The performance criteria for the performance stock units are primarily based on revenue and free cash flow goals adopted by the Compensation and Human Resource Committee and total stockholder return compared against companies in the S&P North American Technology Software Index with a market capitalization over $2.0 billion (“Relative TSR”). The fair value of the performance stock units is expensed using the accelerated attribution method over the three-year vesting period and have the following vesting schedule:

•Up to one third of the performance stock units may vest following year one, depending upon the achievement of the performance criteria for fiscal 2024 as well as 1-year Relative TSR (covering year one).

•Up to one third of the performance stock units may vest following year two, depending upon the achievement of the performance criteria for year two as well as 2-year Relative TSR (covering years one and two).

•Up to one third of the performance stock units may vest following year three, depending upon the achievement of the performance criteria for year three as well as 3-year Relative TSR (covering years one, two and three).

The performance criteria for the performance stock units vested during the three months ended April 30, 2023, was based on revenue and free cash flow goals adopted by the Compensation and Human Resource Committee.

Performance stock units are not considered outstanding stock at the time of grant, as the holders of these units are not entitled to any of the rights of a stockholder, including voting rights.

Autodesk recorded stock-based compensation expense related to performance stock units of $11 million and $15 million for the three months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Common Stock

Autodesk agreed to issue a fixed amount of $13 million in shares of common stock to certain employees in connection with a fiscal 2022 acquisition. Issuance of the common stock is dependent on the respective employees’ continued employment through the vesting period. The number of shares to be issued will be determined based on the volume weighted average closing price (“VWAP”) of Autodesk’s common stock for the ninety consecutive trading day period ending on the release date. As of April 30, 2023, the remaining shares to be issued are estimated to be 39 thousand. The awards are accrued as liability-classified awards and are recognized as compensation expense using the straight-line method over the vesting period.

Autodesk agreed to issue a fixed amount of $11 million in common stock at a future date to certain employees in connection with other fiscal 2022 acquisitions. Issuance of the common stock is dependent on the respective employees’ continued employment through the vesting period. The number of shares to be issued will be determined based on the VWAP of Autodesk’s common stock at the issuance date. As of April 30, 2023, remaining shares to be issued are estimated to be 34 thousand. The awards are accounted for as liability-classified awards and are recognized as compensation expense using the straight-line method over the vesting period.

Autodesk issued 40 thousand shares of restricted common stock to certain employees in connection with a fiscal 2023 acquisition. These shares of restricted common stock were recorded as “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” and “Long-term other assets” on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and will be amortized to stock-based compensation expense for post-acquisition services using the straight-line method over the two-year vesting period. Additionally, Autodesk agreed to issue a fixed amount of $5 million in common stock at a future date to certain employees in connection with a fiscal 2023 acquisition. Issuance of the common stock is dependent on the respective employees’ continued employment through the vesting period. The number of shares to be issued will be determined based on the VWAP of Autodesk’s common stock at the issuance date. During the three months ended April 30, 2023, Autodesk issued 9 thousand shares at an aggregate fair value of $2 million. Remaining shares to be issued are estimated to be 14 thousand as of April 30, 2023. The awards are accounted for as liability-classified awards and are recognized as compensation expense using the straight-line method over the vesting period.

Autodesk recorded stock-based compensation expense related to common stock shares of $6 million and $10 million for the three months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

1998 Employee Qualified Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”)

Under Autodesk’s ESPP, which was approved by stockholders in 1998, eligible employees may purchase shares of Autodesk’s common stock at their discretion using up to 15% of their eligible compensation, subject to certain limitations, at 85% of the lower of Autodesk's closing price (fair market value) on the offering date or the exercise date. The offering period for ESPP awards consists of four, six-month exercise periods within a 24-month offering period.

A summary of the ESPP activity for the three months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022, is as follows:


	Three Months Ended April 30,
	2023		2022
Issued shares (in thousands)	434		377
Average price of issued shares	$	163.59	$	173.83
Weighted average grant date fair value of shares granted under the ESPP (1)	$	71.34	$	69.19

_______________

(1)Calculated as of the award grant date using the Black-Scholes Merton (“BSM”) option pricing model.

Stock-based Compensation Expense

Stock-based Compensation Expense Assumptions

Autodesk determines the grant date fair value of its share-based payment awards using a BSM option pricing model or the quoted stock price on the date of grant, unless the awards are subject to market conditions, in which case Autodesk uses the Monte Carlo simulation model. The Monte Carlo simulation model uses multiple input variables to estimate the probability that market conditions will be achieved. Autodesk uses the following assumptions to estimate the fair value of stock-based awards:


	Three Months Ended April 30, 2023		Three Months Ended April 30, 2022
	Performance Stock Units	ESPP	Performance Stock Units	ESPP
Range of expected volatility	40.9 - 42.5%	40.0 - 42.4%	39.4 - 40.7%	38.3 - 42.7%
Range of expected lives (in years)	N/A	0.5- 2.0	N/A	0.5 - 2.0
Expected dividends	—%	—%	—%	—%
Range of risk-free interest rates	4.3 - 4.7%	4.3 -5.0%	1.2 - 1.6%	0.9 - 1.9%

Autodesk estimates expected volatility for stock-based awards based on the average of the following two measures: (1) a measure of historical volatility in the trading market for the Company’s common stock, and (2) the implied volatility of traded options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. The expected volatility for performance stock units subject to market conditions includes the expected volatility of companies within the S&P North American Technology Software Index with a market capitalization over $2.0 billion, depending on the award type.

The range of expected lives of ESPP awards are based upon the four six-month exercise periods within a 24-month offering period.

Autodesk does not currently pay, and does not anticipate paying in the foreseeable future, any cash dividends. Consequently, an expected dividend yield of zero is used in the BSM option pricing model and the Monte Carlo simulation model.

The risk-free interest rate used in the BSM option pricing model and the Monte Carlo simulation model for stock-based awards is the historical yield on U.S. Treasury securities with equivalent remaining lives.

Autodesk recognizes expense only for the stock-based awards that ultimately vest. Autodesk accounts for forfeitures of our stock-based awards as those forfeitures occur.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]

Borrowing Arrangements

In November 2022, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) by and among the Company, the lenders party thereto and Citibank, N.A. (“Citibank”), as administrative agent, which provides for an unsecured revolving loan facility in the aggregate principal amount of $1.5 billion, with an option to be increased up to $2.0 billion. The revolving credit facility is available for working capital or other business needs. The Credit Agreement contains customary covenants that could, among other things, restrict the imposition of liens on Autodesk’s assets, and restrict Autodesk’s ability to incur additional indebtedness or make dispositions of assets if Autodesk fails to maintain compliance with the financial covenants. The Credit Agreement requires the Company to maintain a maximum leverage ratio of Consolidated Covenant Debt to Consolidated EBITDA (each as defined in the Credit Agreement) no greater than 3.50:1.00 during the term of the credit facility, subject to adjustment following the consummation of certain acquisitions up to 4.00:1.00 for up to four consecutive fiscal quarters.

Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Autodesk, Inc. (“Autodesk,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”) as of April 30, 2023, and for the three months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022, have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information along with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. In management’s opinion, Autodesk made all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring and non-recurring adjustments) during the quarter that were considered necessary for the fair statement of the financial position and operating results of the Company. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In addition, the results of operations for the three months ended April 30, 2023, are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year ending January 31, 2024, or for any other period. Further, the balance sheet as of January 31, 2023, has been derived from the audited Consolidated Balance Sheet as of this date. There have been no material changes, other than what is discussed herein, to Autodesk's significant accounting policies as compared to the significant accounting policies disclosed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2023. These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes, together with management’s discussion and analysis of financial position and results of operations, contained in Autodesk’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2023, filed on March 14, 2023.

As of both April 30, 2023, and January 31, 2023, Autodesk had no material unrealized losses, individually and in the aggregate, for marketable debt securities that are in a continuous unrealized loss position for greater than 12 months. Total

unrealized gains for securities with net gains in accumulated other comprehensive income were not material for the three months ended April 30, 2023.

Autodesk monitors all marketable debt securities for potential credit losses by reviewing indicators such as, but not limited to, current credit rating, change in credit rating, credit outlook, and default risk. There were no allowances for credit losses as of both April 30, 2023, and January 31, 2023. There were no write offs of accrued interest receivables for both the three months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022.

There were no material realized gain or loss for the sales or redemptions of marketable debt securities during both the three months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022. Realized gains and losses from the sales or redemptions of marketable debt securities are recorded in “Interest and other income (expense), net” on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Proceeds from the sale and maturity of marketable debt securities were as follows:

Strategic investments in equity securities

As of April 30, 2023, and January 31, 2023, Autodesk had $182 million and $177 million, respectively, in direct investments in privately held companies. These strategic investments in equity securities do not have readily determined fair values, and Autodesk uses the measurement alternative to account for the adjustment to these investments in a given quarter. If Autodesk determines that an impairment has occurred, Autodesk writes down the investment to its fair value. These strategic investments in equity securities are generally subject to a security-specific restriction which limits the sale or transfer of the respective equity security during the holding period.

Adjustments to the carrying value of our strategic investment equity securities with no readily determined fair values measured using the measurement alternative are included in “Interest and other income (expense), net” on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. These adjustments were as follows:


	Three Months Ended April 30,				Cumulative Amount as of
	2023		2022		April 30, 2023
Upward adjustments	$	—	$	—	$	29
Negative adjustments, including impairments	—		(2)		(86)
Net unrealized adjustments	$	—	$	(2)	$	(57)

Autodesk recognized no realized gains for both the three months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022 on the disposition of strategic investment equity securities.

Fair Value

Autodesk applies fair value accounting for certain financial assets and liabilities, which consist of cash equivalents, marketable securities, and other financial instruments, on a recurring basis. The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

The following tables summarize the Company's financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis by significant investment category as of April 30, 2023, and January 31, 2023:

Net Income Per Share

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Net Income Per Share

Basic net income per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period and potentially dilutive common shares, including the effect of restricted stock units, performance share awards, and stock options using the treasury stock method. The following table sets forth the computation of the numerators and denominators used in the basic and diluted net income per share amounts:


	Three Months Ended April 30,
	2023		2022
Numerator:
Net income	$	161	$	146
Denominator:
Denominator for basic net income per share—weighted average shares	215		217
Effect of dilutive securities	1		2
Denominator for dilutive net income per share	216		219
Basic net income per share	$	0.75	$	0.67
Diluted net income per share	$	0.75	$	0.67

The computation of diluted net income per share does not include shares that are anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method because their exercise prices are higher than the average market value of Autodesk’s stock during the periods. For the three months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022, there were 588 thousand and 531 thousand anti-dilutive shares excluded from the computation of diluted net income per share, respectively.

Leases

3 Months Ended

Apr. 30, 2023

Leases [Abstract]

Leases

Autodesk has operating leases for real estate, vehicles, and certain equipment. Leases have remaining lease terms of less than 1 year to 67 years, some of which include options to extend the lease with renewal terms from 1 year to 9 years and some of which include options to terminate the leases from less than 1 year to 7 years. Options to extend or terminate the lease are considered in determining the lease term when it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised. Payments under our lease arrangements are primarily fixed; however, certain lease agreements contain variable payments, which are expensed as incurred and not included in the operating lease assets and liabilities. These amounts include payments affected by the Consumer Price Index, payments for common area maintenance that are subject to annual reconciliation, and payments for maintenance and utilities. The Company’s leases do not contain residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. Short-term leases are recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Short-term lease expense was not material for the periods presented. Changes in operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities are presented net in the “Accounts payable and other liabilities” line in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows with the exception of “Lease-related asset impairments” which is presented in “Adjustments to reconcile net income to net cash provided by operating activities”.

The components of lease cost were as follows:

(1) Includes $4 million and $5 million in variable lease payments for the three months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, not included in “Operating lease liabilities” and “Long-term operating lease liabilities” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The weighted average remaining lease term for operating leases is 6.4 years and 6.5 years at April 30, 2023, and January 31, 2023, respectively. The weighted average discount rate was 2.80% and 2.60% at April 30, 2023, and January 31, 2023, respectively.

Maturities of operating lease liabilities were as follows:


Fiscal year ending

Present value of operating lease liabilities	$	402

Autodesk has subleased certain office space to a third party and has classified the sublease as an operating lease. The sublease has a remaining lease term of 8.8 years. Sublease income was $2 million for the three months ended April 30, 2023. There was no sublease income for the three months ended April 30, 2022. Sublease income is recorded as a reduction of lease expense in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Operating lease amounts in the table above do not include sublease income payments of $85 million. Autodesk expects to receive sublease income payments of approximately $46 million for remaining fiscal 2024 through fiscal 2028 and $39 million thereafter.

As of April 30, 2023, Autodesk had no material additional operating lease minimum lease payments for executed leases that have not yet commenced.

Concentration of Credit Risk	3 Months Ended
Concentration of Credit Risk	Apr. 30, 2023
Risks and Uncertainties [Abstract]
Concentration of Credit Risk	Concentration of Credit Risk Autodesk places its cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities in highly liquid instruments with, and in the custody of, multiple diversified financial institutions globally with high credit ratings, and limits the amounts invested with any one institution, type of security, and issuer. Autodesk’s primary commercial banking relationship is with Citigroup Inc. and its global affiliates. Citibank, N.A., an affiliate of Citigroup, is one of the lead lenders and an agent in the syndicate of Autodesk’s $1.5 billion revolving credit facility. See Note 13, “Borrowing Arrangements,” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion. Total sales to the Company's largest distributor Tech Data Corporation and its global affiliates (“Tech Data”) accounted for 40% of Autodesk’s total net revenue during the three months ended April 30, 2023. Total sales to Tech Data accounted for 36% of Autodesk’s total net revenue for the three months ended April 30, 2022. The majority of the net revenue from sales to Tech Data is for sales outside of the United States. In addition, Tech Data accounted for 25% and 27% of trade accounts receivable at April 30, 2023 and January 31, 2023, respectively. Ingram Micro Inc. (“Ingram Micro”), our second largest distributor, accounted for 8% and 9% of Autodesk's total net revenue during the three months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. No other customer accounted for more than 10% of Autodesk's total net revenue or trade accounts receivable for each of the respective periods.

Goodwill

Apr. 30, 2023

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]

Goodwill

Goodwill consists of the excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of net assets acquired in business combinations. The following table summarizes the changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the three months ended April 30, 2023, (in millions):


Balance as of January 31, 2023	$	3,774
Less: accumulated impairment losses as of January 31, 2023	(149)
Net balance as of January 31, 2023	3,625
Additions arising from acquisitions during the period	3
Effect of foreign currency translation	(4)

Balance as of April 30, 2023	$	3,624

Income Tax	3 Months Ended
Income Tax	Apr. 30, 2023
Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Tax	Income Tax Autodesk had income tax expense of $60 million, relative to pre-tax income of $221 million for the three months ended April 30, 2023, and income tax expense of $49 million, relative to pre-tax income of $195 million for the three months ended April 30, 2022. Income tax expense for the three months ended April 30, 2023, reflects a reduced U.S. foreign derived intangible income benefit, increased tax expense from foreign currency adjustments from foreign branches, and a reduced tax expense relating to stock-based compensation. Autodesk regularly assesses the need for a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets. In making that assessment, Autodesk considers both positive and negative evidence related to the likelihood of realization of the deferred tax assets to determine, based on the weight of available evidence, whether it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. We have maintained a valuation allowance on all or part of our Netherlands, Australia, California, Michigan deferred tax assets, as well as our U.S. capital loss deferred tax assets as it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of April 30, 2023, the Company had $227 million of gross unrecognized tax benefits, of which $189 million would impact the effective tax rate, if recognized. The remaining $38 million would reduce our valuation allowance, if recognized. The amount of unrecognized tax benefits will decrease in the next twelve months for statute lapse of approximately $4 million. Signed into law on August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act contains many revisions to the Internal Revenue Code effective in taxable years beginning after December 31, 2022, including a 15% corporate minimum income tax. Autodesk continues to monitor the impact of the Inflation Reduction Act on its consolidated financial statements.

- Definition

The entire disclosure for income taxes. Disclosures may include net deferred tax liability or asset recognized in an enterprise's statement of financial position, net change during the year in the total valuation allowance, approximate tax effect of each type of temporary difference and carryforward that gives rise to a significant portion of deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets, utilization of a tax carryback, and tax uncertainties information.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies Purchase Commitments In the normal course of business, Autodesk enters into various purchase commitments for goods or services. Effective April 1, 2023, Autodesk entered into a renewed agreement with a third-party cloud services provider. Under the agreement, Autodesk committed to spend an aggregate of $750 million through March 31, 2028, on cloud services. Guarantees and Indemnifications In the normal course of business, Autodesk provides indemnifications of varying scopes, including limited product warranties and indemnification of customers against claims of intellectual property infringement made by third parties arising from the use of its products or services. Autodesk accrues for known indemnification issues if a loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated. Historically, costs related to these indemnifications have not been significant, and because potential future costs are highly variable, Autodesk is unable to estimate the maximum potential impact of these indemnifications on its future results of operations. In connection with the purchase, sale, or license of assets or businesses with third parties, Autodesk has entered into or assumed customary indemnification agreements related to the assets or businesses purchased, sold, or licensed. Historically, costs related to these indemnifications have not been significant, and because potential future costs are highly variable, Autodesk is unable to estimate the maximum potential impact of these indemnifications on its future results of operations. As permitted under Delaware law, Autodesk has agreements whereby it indemnifies its officers and directors for certain events or occurrences while the officer or director is, or was, serving at Autodesk’s request in such capacity. The maximum potential amount of future payments Autodesk could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited; however, Autodesk has directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage that is intended to reduce its financial exposure and may enable Autodesk to recover a portion of any future amounts paid. Autodesk believes the estimated fair value of these indemnification agreements in excess of applicable insurance coverage is minimal. Legal Proceedings Autodesk is involved in a variety of claims, suits, investigations, inquiries, and proceedings in the normal course of business including claims of alleged infringement of intellectual property rights, commercial, employment, tax, prosecution of unauthorized use, business practices, and other matters. Autodesk routinely reviews the status of each significant matter and assesses its potential financial exposure. If the potential loss from any matter is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated, Autodesk records a liability for the estimated loss. Because of inherent uncertainties related to these legal matters, Autodesk bases its loss accruals on the best information available at the time. As additional information becomes available, Autodesk reassesses its potential liability and may revise its estimates. In the Company's opinion, resolution of pending matters is not expected to have a material adverse impact on its consolidated results of operations, cash flows, or its financial position. Given the unpredictable nature of legal proceedings, there is a reasonable possibility that an unfavorable resolution of one or more such proceedings could in the future materially affect the Company's results of operations, cash flows, or financial position in a particular period, however, based on the information known by the Company as of the date of this filing and the rules and regulations applicable to the preparation of the Company's financial statements, any such amount is either immaterial or it is not possible to provide an estimated amount of any such potential loss.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards (Policies)	3 Months Ended
Recently Issued Accounting Standards (Policies)	Apr. 30, 2023
Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Autodesk, Inc. (“Autodesk,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”) as of April 30, 2023, and for the three months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022, have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information along with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. In management’s opinion, Autodesk made all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring and non-recurring adjustments) during the quarter that were considered necessary for the fair statement of the financial position and operating results of the Company. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In addition, the results of operations for the three months ended April 30, 2023, are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year ending January 31, 2024, or for any other period. Further, the balance sheet as of January 31, 2023, has been derived from the audited Consolidated Balance Sheet as of this date. There have been no material changes, other than what is discussed herein, to Autodesk's significant accounting policies as compared to the significant accounting policies disclosed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2023. These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes, together with management’s discussion and analysis of financial position and results of operations, contained in Autodesk’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2023, filed on March 14, 2023.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards	With the exception of those discussed below, there have been no recent changes in accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) or adopted by the Company during the three months ended April 30, 2023, that are applicable to the Company. Accounting Standards Adopted In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-03, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions” (“ASU 2022-03”), which applies to all equity securities measured at fair value that are subject to contractual sale restrictions. ASU 2022-03 prohibits entities from taking into account contractual restrictions on the sale of equity securities when estimating fair value and introduces required disclosures for such transactions. ASU 2022-03 is effective for Autodesk's fiscal year beginning February 1, 2024, and interim periods within that fiscal year, with early adoption permitted. Autodesk adopted ASU 2022-03 as of February 1, 2023. The adoption of ASU 2022-03 did not have a material impact on Autodesk’s consolidated financial statements.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue DisaggregationAutodesk recognizes revenue from the sale of (1) product subscriptions, cloud service offerings, and enterprise business agreements (“EBAs”), (2) renewal fees for existing maintenance plan agreements that were initially purchased with a perpetual software license, and (3) consulting, training, and other products and services. The three categories are presented as line items on Autodesk's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
