Convert expense logs to pie charts

To convert expense logs into pie charts, follow these steps:

1. Collect and organize your expense data:
   Make sure your expense logs are categorized (e.g., Rent, Food, Transportation, Entertainment, etc.) and have total amounts for each category.

2. Sum expenses by category:
   Calculate the total amount spent in each category over the period you want to visualize.

3. Calculate percentages:
   For each category, calculate the percentage of the total expenses it represents.

4. Create the pie chart:
   Use any of the following tools to input your category names and amounts or percentages:

   • Excel or Google Sheets: Use the built-in Pie Chart feature.

   • Online tools like Canva, ChartGo, or Meta-Chart.

   • Programming libraries such as Python’s Matplotlib or JavaScript’s Chart.js for custom charts.

Example: Manual Conversion to Pie Chart in Excel or Google Sheets

• Total = 1200 + 450 + 200 + 150 + 100 = 2100

• Percentages:

  • Rent = 1200 / 2100 * 100 ≈ 57.14%

  • Food = 450 / 2100 * 100 ≈ 21.43%

  • Transportation = 200 / 2100 * 100 ≈ 9.52%

  • Entertainment = 150 / 2100 * 100 ≈ 7.14%

  • Utilities = 100 / 2100 * 100 ≈ 4.76%

Input these categories and values into Excel or Google Sheets and insert a pie chart to visualize the distribution.
