The fair value of performance stock units (PSUs) used in the calculation of CAP (columns (c1), (c2) and (e)) was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model, in accordance with ASC 718. The fair value of option awards used in the calculation of CAP was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, in accordance with ASC 718. In both cases, the assumptions used in these calculations are not materially different than those used for purposes of the Summary Compensation Table.

Tabular List [Table Text Block] |  | Our Most Important Metrics Used for Linking Pay and Performance. As required by Item 402(v), below are the most important metrics our Committee used to link executive pay to performance for 2023. Our stock price performance, as reflected by our absolute TSR, directly impacts the value of the equity compensation awards we grant to executive officers. Each of the other metrics below are used for purposes of determining payouts under either our executive annual cash incentive compensation program or our executive PSU program.
• | Absolute TSR

Additional 402(v) Disclosure [Text Block] |  | ## Pay Versus Performance The disclosure in this section shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any prior or subsequent filing by Danaher under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act of 1934, except to the extent Danaher specifically incorporates it by reference therein. Provided below is the Company’s “pay versus performance” disclosure as required pursuant to Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Exchange Act. As required by Item 402(v), we have included:
• | A list of the most important measures that our Compensation Committee used in 2023 to link a measure of pay calculated in accordance with Item 402(v) (referred to as “compensation actually paid”, or “CAP”) to Company performance;
• | A table that compares the total compensation of our named executive officers’ (also known as NEOs) as presented in the Summary Compensation Table (“SCT”) to CAP and that compares CAP to specified performance measures; and
• | Graphs that describe:
| • | the relationships between CAP and our cumulative total shareholder return (“TSR”), GAAP Net Income, and our Company selected measure, non-GAAP adjusted diluted net earnings per common share from continuing operations (“Adjusted EPS”); and
| • | the relationship between our TSR and the TSR of the S&P 500 Health Care Index (“Peer Group TSR”).
Salary, Bonus, Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation, Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Earnings and All Other Compensation are each calculated in the same manner for purposes of both CAP and SCT. There are two primary differences between the calculation of CAP and SCT total compensation:
|  | SCT Total |  | CAP
Pension |  | Year over year change in the actuarial present value of pension benefits |  | Current year service cost and any prior year service cost (if a plan amendment occurred during the year)
Stock and Option Awards |  | Grant date fair value of stock and option awards granted during the year |  | Year over year change in the fair value of stock and option awards that are unvested as of the end of the year, or vested or were forfeited during the year(1)
(1) | Includes any dividends paid on equity awards in the fiscal year prior to the vesting date that are not otherwise reflected in the fair value of such award.
This disclosure has been prepared in accordance with Item 402(v) and does not necessarily reflect value actually realized by the executives or how our Committee evaluates compensation decisions in light of Company or individual performance. In particular, our Committee has not used CAP as a basis for making executive compensation decisions, nor does it use GAAP Net Income or Peer Group TSR for purposes of determining executive incentive compensation. Please refer to our Compensation Discussion and Analysis on pages 44 to 60 for a discussion of our executive compensation program objectives and the ways in which we align executive compensation with performance. |  |  |

Non-GAAP Measure Description [Text Block] |  | Adjusted EPS is the most heavily weighted metric used to determine Company performance under our executive annual cash incentive compensation program. The Committee weights Adjusted EPS most heavily in the Company performance formula because it believes Adjusted EPS correlates strongly with shareholder returns, particularly since Adjusted EPS is calculated in a manner that focuses on gains and charges the Committee believes are most directly related to Company operating performance during the period. Accordingly, Adjusted EPS is the Company-selected measure included in the table and graphs that follow. |  |  |
