Budget Flow — Free Sankey Diagram Template
The Budget Flow template is a Sankey diagram that traces where your money goes, from income at the source to every category it funds. The sample data follows a $4,950 salary as it splits into Savings, Rent, Food, Transport, Entertainment, and Utilities, then shows Savings flowing onward into Investment and an Emergency fund. It is a ready-made starting point for visualizing a personal or household budget where the width of each flow makes the biggest spending and saving decisions obvious at a glance.
