Postemployment Benefits [Abstract] |
Postemployment Benefits Disclosure [Text Block] | NOTE 17: OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS The Company provided U.S. medical, dental, life insurance, and survivor income benefits to eligible retirees, long-term disability recipients and their spouses, dependents and survivors. Generally, to be eligible for these benefits, former employees leaving the Company prior to January 1, 1996 were required to be 55 years of age with ten years of service or their age plus years of service must have equaled or exceeded 75. For those leaving the Company after December 31, 1995, former employees were required to be 55 years of age with ten years of service or have been eligible as of December 31, 1995. These benefits are paid from the general assets of the Company as they are incurred. The Company’s subsidiaries in Canada and the U.K. offer similar postretirement benefits. Information on the U.S., Canada and U.K. other postretirement plans is presented below. On November 7, 2012, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order approving a settlement agreement between the Debtors and the Retiree Committee appointed by the U.S. Trustee which eliminated or reduced certain retiree benefits under the U.S. plan. The Company also eliminated all postretirement benefits for active employees in the U.S. The measurement date used to determine the net benefit obligation for Kodak’s other postretirement benefit plans is December 31.

The weighted-average assumptions used to determine the net benefit obligations were as follows:
|  | Year Ended December 31, |
|  | 2015 |  |  | 2014 |
Discount rate |  |  | 3.60 | % |  |  | 3.49 | %
Salary increase rate |  |  | 1.80 | % |  |  | 2.60 | %
The weighted-average assumptions used to determine the net postretirement benefit cost were as follows:
|  | Successor |  |  | Predecessor |
|  | Year Ended December 31, 2015 |  |  | Year Ended December 31, 2014 |  |  | Four Months Ended December 31, 2013 |  |  | Eight Months Ended August 31, 2013 |

Salary increase rate |  |  | 2.60 | % |  |  | 2.50 | % |  |  | 2.50 | % |  |  | 2.50 | %
The weighted-average assumed healthcare cost trend rates used to compute the other postretirement amounts were as follows:
|  | 2015 |  |  | 2014 |
Healthcare cost trend |  |  | 5.81 | % |  |  | 6.47 | %
Rate to which the cost trend rate is assumed to decline (the ultimate trend rate) |  |  | 4.21 | % |  |  | 4.65 | %
Year that the rate reaches the ultimate trend rate |  | 2022 |  |  | 2021 |
Assumed healthcare cost trend rates effect the amounts reported for the healthcare plans. A one-percentage point change in assumed healthcare cost trend rates would have the following effects:
(in millions) |  | 1% increase |  |  | 1% decrease |
Effect on total service and interest cost |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | — |
