As of matplotlib v3.4.2
- Use
matplotlib.pyplot.bar_label
- The default label position, set with the parameter
label_type, is 'edge'. To center the labels in the middle of the bar, use 'center'
- Additional
kwargs are passed to Axes.annotate, which accepts Text kwargs.
- Properties like
color, rotation, fontsize, etc., can be used.
- See the matplotlib: Bar Label Demo page for additional formatting options.
- Tested with
pandas 1.3.3, which is using matplotlib 3.4.3 as the plot engine.
ax.containers is a list of BarContainer artists
- With a single level bar plot, it’s a list of len 1, hence
[0] is used.
- For grouped and stacked bar plots there will be more objects in the
list
- See How to annotate each segment of a stacked bar chart or Stacked Bar Chart with Centered Labels.
- For grouped bar examples
- How to plot and annotate grouped bars in seaborn
- How to plot and annotate a grouped bar chart
- Simple label formatting can be done with the
fmt parameter, as shown in the Demo examples and at How to annotate a seaborn barplot with the aggregated value.
- More sophisticated label formatting should use the
label parameter, as shown in the Demo examples and the following

import pandas as pd
# dataframe using frequencies and x_labels from the OP
df = pd.DataFrame({'Frequency': frequencies}, index=x_labels)
# display(df)
Frequency
108300.0 6
110540.0 16
112780.0 75
115020.0 160
117260.0 244
# plot
ax = df.plot(kind='bar', figsize=(12, 8), title="Amount Frequency",
xlabel="Amount ($)", ylabel="Frequency", legend=False)
# annotate
ax.bar_label(ax.containers[0], label_type="edge")
# pad the spacing between the number and the edge of the figure
ax.margins(y=0.1)
- Specify additional
kwargs for additional customization
- Accepts parameters from
matplotlib.axes.Axes.text
ax.bar_label(ax.containers[0], label_type="edge", color="red", rotation=90, fontsize=7, padding=3)
