Donut chart maker
A pie chart with a hole — and the hole shows the total. Paste labels and values; shares, angles and the chart update live.
One slice per line: a label, then a number. Tabs (from Excel/Sheets), commas or spaces all work. Percentages are worked out for you.

How to make a donut chart
- Type one slice per line: a label, then an amount.
- The centre shows the total automatically.
- Choose percentage or value labels and sort the slices.
- Download PNG or SVG.
How a number becomes a slice
Drag the amounts. Each slice’s angle is its share of the total × 360°.
Donut vs pie
A donut chart works exactly like a pie chart: each ring segment is a share of the whole. The hole frees up space for a headline number, and readers compare the arc lengths rather than wedge angles. It suits dashboards and reports where the total matters as much as the split.
The same guidance applies: two to six segments, parts of one whole, sorted largest first.
Questions
Is it “donut” or “doughnut” chart?
Both spellings are used. “Doughnut” is common in British English and in Excel; “donut” in American English.
Can I change what is shown in the middle?
The centre shows the total of all values. Use the subtitle for extra context such as units or the date range.
