Risk/Return [Heading] | rr_RiskReturnHeading | Fund summary | ||||||||||||
Objective [Heading] | rr_ObjectiveHeading | Goal | ||||||||||||
Objective, Primary [Text Block] | rr_ObjectivePrimaryTextBlock | Putnam Voyager Fund seeks capital appreciation. | ||||||||||||
Expense [Heading] | rr_ExpenseHeading | Fees and expenses | ||||||||||||
Expense Narrative [Text Block] | rr_ExpenseNarrativeTextBlock | The following table describes the fees and expenses you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the fund. You may qualify for sales charge discounts if you and your family invest, or agree to invest in the future, at least $50,000 in Putnam funds. More information about these and other discounts is available from your financial advisor and in How do I buy fund shares? beginning on page 12 of the fund's prospectus and in How to buy shares beginning on page II-1 of the fund's statement of additional information (SAI). | ||||||||||||
Shareholder Fees Caption [Text] | rr_ShareholderFeesCaption | Shareholder fees (fees paid directly from your investment) | ||||||||||||
Operating Expenses Caption [Text] | rr_OperatingExpensesCaption | Annual fund operating expenses (expenses you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment) |
||||||||||||
Portfolio Turnover [Heading] | rr_PortfolioTurnoverHeading | Portfolio turnover | ||||||||||||
Portfolio Turnover [Text Block] | rr_PortfolioTurnoverTextBlock | The fund pays transaction-related costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher 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 the above example, affect fund performance. The fund's turnover rate in the most recent fiscal year was 140%. | ||||||||||||
Portfolio Turnover, Rate | rr_PortfolioTurnoverRate | 140.00% | ||||||||||||
Expense Breakpoint Discounts [Text] | rr_ExpenseBreakpointDiscounts | You may qualify for sales charge discounts if you and your family invest, or agree to invest in the future, at least $50,000 in Putnam funds. More information about these and other discounts is available from your financial advisor and in How do I buy fund shares? beginning on page 12 of the fund's prospectus and in How to buy shares beginning on page II-1 of the fund's statement of additional information (SAI). | ||||||||||||

Expense Example [Heading] | rr_ExpenseExampleHeading | Example | ||||||||||||
Expense Example Narrative [Text Block] | rr_ExpenseExampleNarrativeTextBlock | The following hypothetical example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the fund with the cost of investing in other funds. It assumes that you invest $10,000 in the fund for the time periods indicated and then, except as indicated, redeem all your shares at the end of those periods. It assumes a 5% return on your investment each year and that the fund's operating expenses remain the same. Your actual costs may be higher or lower. | ||||||||||||
Strategy [Heading] | rr_StrategyHeading | Investments | ||||||||||||
Strategy Narrative [Text Block] | rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock | We invest mainly in common stocks of midsize and large U.S. companies, with a focus on growth stocks. Growth stocks are issued by companies whose earnings are expected to grow faster than those of similar firms, and whose business growth and other characteristics may lead to an increase in stock price. We may consider, among other factors, a company's valuation, financial strength, growth potential, competitive position in its industry, projected future earnings, cash flows and dividends when deciding whether to buy or sell investments. | ||||||||||||
Risk [Heading] | rr_RiskHeading | Risks | ||||||||||||
Risk Narrative [Text Block] | rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock | It is important to understand that you can lose money by investing in the fund. The prices of stocks in the fund's portfolio may fall or fail to rise over extended periods of time for a variety of reasons, including both general financial market conditions and factors related to a specific company or industry. These risks are generally greater for small and midsize companies. Growth stocks may be more susceptible to earnings disappointments, and the market may not favor growth-style investing. The fund may not achieve its goal, and it is not intended to be a complete investment program. An investment in the fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. |
