If you want the SAME bins as used by hist(), you can use: hist(Vec, breaks = ..., plot = FALSE)$counts Another alternative is to use cut() to bin a vector and return a factor, upon which you can then use table() to get the counts. For example: table(cut(Vec, breaks = ...)) See ?hist and ?cut for more information.
