Budget Sankey Diagram Maker
A budget sankey shows where your money actually goes: salary and side income entering on the left, rent, groceries, subscriptions and savings fanning out to the right. MakeCharts draws it from a simple list of amounts, so you can stop guessing and start seeing.

Frequently asked questions
Is a sankey good for a personal budget?
Yes, it is one of the most popular personal finance visuals. Flow widths make it obvious which categories dominate your spending, far faster than reading a table.
How do I show savings in the diagram?
Model savings as one more destination for your income and color it green. The wider that green ribbon, the healthier the month looks.
Can I reuse the diagram every month?
Yes. Save it to your account, then update the amounts or re-import a fresh CSV. Structure, labels and colors stay in place.
Is my budget data private?
Your data is stored in your account and used only to render your charts. You can delete a chart, and the data with it, at any time.
Your data is ready. Your chart is three steps away.
