When to Use a Pie Chart

Pie charts excel at showing how a whole is divided into parts. They work best with a small number of categories (ideally fewer than six) where relative size matters more than exact values.

  • ✓ Budget or spend breakdowns
  • ✓ Market share by competitor
  • ✓ Survey response distributions
  • ✓ Portfolio allocation by asset class
  • ✓ Revenue by product or region

Pie vs Donut

Both convey the same data. A donut chart (pie with a hollow centre) is often preferred in modern dashboards and reports because the empty centre can display a total or key metric.

Graph Plotter lets you switch between pie and donut with a single toggle, so you can decide which looks better for your context.
