Donut chart or pie chart?

A donut chart is a pie chart with the centre removed. The hole leaves room for the total, which is useful when the overall number matters as much as the split. It also reads as a ring of arc lengths rather than wedges, which some people find cleaner. The data and percentages are exactly the same either way: switch between Pie and Donut above the chart to compare.

Like a pie chart, a donut works best with a handful of slices. With more than eight, the smallest are combined into “Other” so each colour stays easy to tell apart; you can turn that off.

When to use a bar graph instead

If the slices are similar in size, readers will struggle to rank them from a ring, and the check under the chart will tell you which ones. A bar graph lines the values up against one axis, which makes small differences easy to see.
