What This Template Offers

A ready-to-use donut chart template pre-loaded with 10 common budget categories — from housing and food to savings and entertainment — so you can see your full spending picture at a glance.

Use cases

Perfect Use Cases

Personal Monthly Budget Review

Map your actual monthly spend across housing, food, transport, and more. Spot categories that are eating too large a slice of your income before it becomes a problem.

Household Budget Presentations

Share a clear visual budget with a partner or family. A donut chart makes the conversation about money easier when everyone can see the proportions at once.

Financial Planning Reports

Financial advisors and planners can drop this chart into client reports to illustrate current expense distribution and highlight opportunities to grow the savings slice.

Student or First-Time Budget Setup

New to budgeting? Use this template as a starting framework, replace the default values with your own numbers, and instantly see how balanced — or unbalanced — your spending is.

Customize

How to Customize

Enter Your Numbers

Replace the sample values for each category (Housing, Food, Transport, etc.) with your actual monthly amounts — or add and remove slices to match your own budget categories.

Adjust Colors and Labels

Pick colors that match your brand or personal preference, switch label mode between name, value, or percent, and toggle the legend on or off to suit your layout.

Download or Share

Export your finished chart as a high-quality PNG or SVG for presentations, reports, blog posts, or social media — or grab an embed code to add it directly to your website.

Key Benefits

  • Instantly shows spending proportions — no spreadsheet formulas required
  • The hollow center is perfect for a summary label like total spend or a key takeaway
  • 10 categories cover most real-world budgets right out of the box
  • Clean, professional output ready for reports, pitches, or personal tracking

Pro Tips

  • Group small categories (under 3% of total) into a single 'Miscellaneous' slice to keep the chart readable and avoid label crowding.
  • Use the 'Savings' slice as your anchor — if it shrinks when you update values, that is your clearest signal to revisit other categories.
  • Switch label mode to 'Name + value' when presenting to an audience who needs exact dollar amounts, and 'Name + percent' for a high-level proportional story.
