Donut chart

Introduction​

A donut chart is similar to a pie chart, but it contains a blank center and allows the ability to support multiple statistics at once. The central area can be used to show additional information, a summary KPI, or to report statistics.

When to use​

Categorical comparison​

A donut chart is a good choice for showing quantitative comparisons between two primary categories, such as school enrollment by gender.

Downtime causes​

Manufacturers and IT administrators can visualize causes of lost production or system downtime.

Payment statuses​

Donut charts can be used to show financial-related activities such as paid, pending, and overdue to assess an organization's financial position.

Demographics​

Workforce composition can be represented using donut chart segments that display the proportional representation of age groups.

When not to use​

Don't use a donut chart if there are more than five data points. A bar chart is easier to read and scan when there are many categories to visually process.
