When drawing a pie chart, on principle I label it with actual values (not only percentages). It seems we can do this by providing a function to the autopct argument.

plt.pie(payment_method_freqs, autopct=(
  lambda pct: "{} ({}%)".format(
    int(round(sum(payment_method_freqs) * pct / 100)),
    round(pct, 1)
  )
))
