Review the proportions

Check the sum and category labels. Ask to group small slices or use a different chart if comparison is difficult.

What does a donut chart show?

A donut chart divides a ring into segments representing shares of one whole. It works best when the categories are mutually exclusive and the reader needs to understand the overall composition.

When a ring chart fits

Use it for a small set of budget, revenue, or time-allocation categories that add up to a meaningful total. The example shows monthly operating expenses, with payroll as the largest category.

Rules for honest proportions

Use one denominator. All slices must belong to the same total and period.
Avoid overlapping categories. An item counted twice distorts the part-to-whole relationship.
Supply nonnegative values. Negative amounts need a different visual treatment.
Keep the category set small. Combine minor segments only when an Other group remains meaningful.
Label the measure. Show whether the breakdown represents money, people, time, or another unit.

How MyMap draws the breakdown

MyMap turns the values you provide into a chart on the canvas. Ask it to show the total, revise category labels, or combine small segments while preserving their contribution.

Other ways to show proportions

Bar chart	Makes close category values easier to compare.
Pie chart	Shows the same part-to-whole relationship without a center opening.
Stacked bar	Compares composition across multiple groups.
Table	Provides exact values when precision matters more than visual proportions.

Common questions

Do I need to calculate percentages first?

You can provide raw category values and ask for percentage labels. Check that the resulting total and proportions match the original data.

Can I use a donut chart for multiple-choice survey responses?

Only when the categories form a meaningful non-overlapping whole. If respondents can choose several options, a bar chart is usually a clearer representation.

What if there are many tiny slices?

Group suitable small categories into Other and explain that group, or request a bar chart so every category remains readable.
