Pie charts display data as slices of a circle, showing parts of a whole as proportions.

When to use

  • Simple part-to-whole relationships - Show how categories contribute to a total
  • 2-6 categories - Works best with a small number of slices
  • Percentage comparison - Emphasise relative proportions
  • Single data series - Show one breakdown at a time
