Multi Layer Pie Chart Maker

A multi-layer pie chart is a circular visualization with concentric ring segments representing data at multiple levels. Also called nested pie charts or donut charts, they show proportional relationships within a hierarchical or categorical dataset. The inner radius creates the layered ring effect.

In MakeCharts, enter your data segments, then adjust the inner radius in the general settings to create the ring/donut layer effect. You can also add 3D depth and adjust outer radius to control the overall size and proportions of each ring layer.

A standard pie chart has no inner hole — it's a solid circle divided into slices. A multi-layer or nested pie chart uses a non-zero inner radius to create one or more concentric rings. This allows you to show additional data layers within the same chart space.

Yes. Setting the inner radius in MakeCharts creates a donut/ring chart, which is a common type of multi-layer pie chart. You can control exactly how thick or thin the ring appears by adjusting both the inner and outer radius values.

Yes. MakeCharts is free to use with no sign-up required. All radius controls, 3D settings, and export options are available at no cost. Pro plans offer CSV upload and more AI chart generation credits.

Yes. Enable 3D mode in the chart settings to add height and perspective to your layered pie chart. You can adjust tilt, rotation, and layer thickness to achieve a realistic stacked ring appearance.

There is no hard limit on the number of segments in MakeCharts. You can add as many data categories as your visualization requires. For clarity, charts with 8-12 segments tend to be most readable — use clear colors and labels for more complex datasets.
