  1. 1

    Proportion of total

    25 ÷ 100 = 0.25
  2. 2

    Sector angle = proportion × 360°

    0.25 × 360 = 90
    A full circle equals 360°.

Quick answer

How does this calculator work?

Pie chart sector angle = (value ÷ total) × 360°. Percentage = (value ÷ total) × 100. For example, a slice worth 30 out of 120 total has angle 90° and is 25% of the chart. Radians = angle × π/180.

Formula
Angle (°) = (value ÷ total) × 360 • Percentage = (value ÷ total) × 100
How this is calculated

A pie chart represents data as sectors of a full circle. Because a full circle equals 360°, each slice gets an angle proportional to its share of the total: angle = (value ÷ total) × 360°. A slice that makes up 25% of the total, for example, occupies 0.25 × 360 = 90° of the circle.

The same ratio gives the percentage share (× 100) and the angle in radians (× 2π). Radians are useful if you are drawing the chart programmatically using a canvas or SVG arc command, which typically work in radians.

This calculator is for a single slice. If you want the angles for all slices at once, use the full Pie Chart Calculator. Pie charts assume that all values are non-negative and that the slice value does not exceed the total.

Frequently asked questions

Angle = (slice value ÷ total) × 360°. Equivalently, if you already know the percentage, angle = percentage × 3.6°. For example, a 15% slice has an angle of 15 × 3.6 = 54°.

Percentage = angle ÷ 360 × 100, or simply angle ÷ 3.6. A 90° sector is 90 ÷ 3.6 = 25%. See the Pie Chart Percentage Calculator for the reverse calculation from an angle.

Exactly 180° — half of 360°. A quarter of a pie is 90°, and one-third is 120°. Any fraction of a full circle simply multiplies 360° by that fraction.
