How to Visualise Budget Allocation in 3 Steps

Follow these steps to get results in under a minute

01
Set total budget and fiscal year
Enter the total annual institutional budget, the fiscal year label, and currency. The wheel and allocation table will reflect this total as you adjust department shares.
02
Add departments and set percentage shares
Add each department — Academic, IT, Administration, Student Services, Sports, Research — and assign a percentage share. The balance indicator shows immediately if allocations exceed or fall short of 100%.
03
Review the wheel and print the report
The interactive pie wheel updates in real time as you adjust shares. Print the full allocation report with exact amounts, monthly breakdown, and the visual pie chart for board presentations.

Prof. Chaminda Jayawardena

"The allocation wheel is what we show at the start of every budget planning meeting. Instead of reading a table of numbers, the committee can immediately see that Research is getting 8% while IT is getting 22% — and whether that distribution matches the strategic plan."

"The balance indicator is the feature I use most. When we're planning, someone always wants to add a new line item without reducing another one — the red over-allocation flag makes that visible immediately without anyone having to do the arithmetic."

Sarah Johnson
Budget Planning Officer
★★★★★

"The per-month column is something our department heads actually use. They manage against a monthly budget rather than annual — having that number auto-calculated from the annual allocation saves a calculation step in every departmental meeting."

Academic Planning Manager
★★★★☆

"We print the wheel report and include it in the annual budget document. A pie chart on the first page of the budget document communicates the strategic priorities more clearly than any table of figures on page 47."
