Nested Pie Chart Examples

Multi-level layouts covering market share, budgets, demographics, and more

View:

Market Share, Two Levels Deep

Inner ring holds each company; the outer ring breaks every company into product segments, all aligned within its parent slice.

Budget Allocation Hierarchy

Top-level budget categories sit on the inner ring; each splits into line items on the outer ring that sum back to it.

Demographics by Group

Age groups form the inner ring and subgroups fan out on the outer ring — a clean concentric, multi-level layout.

Energy Mix by Source

Fossil vs. renewable on the inner ring; specific sources on the outer ring — a sunburst read of the same totals.

Org Structure by Headcount

Divisions on the inner ring, teams on the outer ring — each division shares one color family across its teams.

What is a nested (multi-layer) pie chart?

A nested pie chart — also called a multi-level, multi-layer, or layered pie chart — shows a two-level hierarchy as concentric rings. The inner ring is your top-level categories, and the outer ring breaks each category into its subcategories. Because every subcategory sits inside its parent's angular span, the outer ring always sums back to the inner ring, so the whole picture stays a true part-to-whole view. It is the clearest way to show "this category is made up of these parts" without drawing two separate charts, and this maker computes and aligns every ring for you.

How the inner and outer rings line up

  • Inner ring = categories: each parent slice is sized by the sum of its children, so the biggest category gets the widest wedge.
  • Outer ring = subcategories: each child slice sits directly inside its parent's wedge, sized by its own value.
  • Children of one parent share a color family — same hue, varied lightness — so you can read which subcategories belong together at a glance.
  • Every angle is computed from a single total, which means the outer ring is guaranteed to add up to the inner ring exactly.

Two ways to make a multi-level pie chart here

  • Precise mode: type your hierarchy as "Category, Subcategory, value" — one row per subcategory — and the tool groups by category, sizes both rings, and renders an exact nested pie as SVG. No dragging, no manual angles.
  • AI illustration mode: describe the layered pie or sunburst you want in plain English and get a polished, presentation-ready graphic with themed colors and styling.
  • Use precise mode when the proportions must be correct (reports, dashboards, homework); use AI mode when you want an on-brand visual for slides or social.

How to make a nested pie chart from your data

  • List one row per subcategory in the format "Category, Subcategory, value" — for example "North America, Software, 40".
  • Repeat the same category name on each of its rows; the tool groups them automatically into one inner-ring slice.
  • The maker sums each category for the inner ring, sizes each subcategory for the outer ring, and aligns them so the layers match.
  • Read the labels and legend, then download a clean, editable SVG to drop into a doc, slide, or worksheet.

When to use a multi-layer pie instead of a plain pie

Use a single pie when you only have one level of categories. Reach for a multi-layer pie chart when each slice naturally breaks down further — revenue by region and then by product, a budget by department and then by line item, traffic by channel and then by source. The nested layout keeps both levels in one figure and shows how the detail rolls up into the headline numbers. If your hierarchy is deeper than two levels, a sunburst-style illustration in AI mode reads better, while this precise renderer focuses on a clean, exact two-ring chart.

Reading and exporting your chart

The inner ring is labeled with category names; the outer ring labels each subcategory with its name and share where there is room, and a legend lists every subcategory and value. Because each ring is drawn from the same grand total, the percentages are consistent across layers. Export is a single click to an editable SVG — it stays crisp at any size and remains fully editable in vector software, so you can recolor, relabel, or resize it for a report, slide deck, or printed handout.
