Quick Solution :

Vertical Stacked Bar Chart

var chart = new Chart(ctx, {
   type: 'bar',
   data: {
      labels: ['Standing costs', 'Running costs'], // responsible for how many bars are gonna show on the chart
      // create 12 datasets, since we have 12 items
      // data[0] = labels[0] (data for first bar - 'Standing costs') | data[1] = labels[1] (data for second bar - 'Running costs')
      // put 0, if there is no data for the particular bar
      datasets: [{
         label: 'Washing and cleaning',
         data: [0, 8],
         backgroundColor: '#22aa99'
      }, {
         label: 'Traffic tickets',
         data: [0, 2],
         backgroundColor: '#994499'
      }, {
         label: 'Tolls',
         data: [0, 1],
         backgroundColor: '#316395'
      }, {

   },
   options: {
      responsive: false,
      legend: {
         position: 'right' // place legend on the right side of chart
      },
      scales: {
         xAxes: [{
            stacked: true // this should be set to make the bars stacked
         }],
         yAxes: [{
            stacked: true // this also..
