What This Template Offers

A pre-structured Sankey diagram showing a complete revenue-to-profit flow — from gross revenue through operating expenses down to net profit — ready to adapt to your own data.

Use cases

Perfect Use Cases

Financial Reporting

Map revenue through cost of goods, operating expenses, and taxes down to net profit. Give stakeholders a clear picture of where money flows.

Budget Allocation

Show how a total budget splits across departments like salaries, marketing, and infrastructure. Make resource decisions transparent and defensible.

Operational Process Mapping

Trace inputs through processing stages to outputs. Identify bottlenecks and inefficiencies at a glance.

Energy or Material Flow

Visualize how energy or materials move through a system, from source to end use, for sustainability reporting or engineering analysis.

Customize

How to Customize

Edit Nodes and Links

Replace the default revenue and expense nodes with your own categories. Add or remove flows by updating the links table with your source, target, and value data.

Adjust Colors and Layout

Pick colors for each node to match your brand or category system. Tune node width, spacing, and link opacity for a clean, readable layout.

Download or Embed

Export your finished Sankey diagram as a high-quality PNG or SVG for slides and reports, or grab an embed code to add it directly to your website.

Key Benefits

  • Skip setup — the node-and-link structure is already in place
  • Understand flows instantly with proportional link widths
  • Communicate complex multi-stage data without a single formula
  • Professional output ready for boardrooms, reports, and blogs

Pro Tips

  • Keep node names short — two to three words read best inside the diagram
  • Use the 'Flow Gradient' color scheme to highlight direction, or 'Node Colors' to emphasize categories
  • Start with the sample revenue flow, then swap in your own numbers to validate the structure before going live
