Pie Chart Angle Calculator — Sector Degrees from Value
Calculate the central angle of a single pie-chart slice: enter the slice value and the total (the sum of all slices), and get the sector angle in degrees, percentage share, and radians.

Sector angle = proportion × 360°
0.25 × 360 = 90A full circle equals 360°.
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
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.
