What a donut chart is.
A donut chart is a pie chart with a blank center. Each slice represents a category's share of one total, and the center can carry the total or the chart's main message.
Use a donut chart for a small set of distinct categories. When values are very similar, there are many slices, or readers need exact comparisons, a bar chart is usually clearer.

Common questions
What is a donut chart?
It is a circular part-to-whole chart with a hole in the center. Each slice shows one category's share of the total.
When should I use a donut chart?
Use one when categories form a single whole and there are only a few slices to compare. It works well for composition, not trends over time.
What should go in the center of a donut chart?
Use a concise label, a total, or a key metric that helps explain what all slices add up to.
Is a donut chart better than a pie chart?
Neither is always better. A donut chart makes space for a central label, while a pie chart gives slightly more area to the slices.
