Sales tax calculator for Canada (GST, HST, PST, QST)

Choose your province or territory and enter a price to add sales tax, or a total to take the tax back out.

Rates come from the Canada Revenue Agency table of GST/HST and PST rates by province.

How it's calculated

Every province and territory has the federal GST of 5%. Five provinces combine it with their own tax as HST: 13% in Ontario, 14% in Nova Scotia and 15% in New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador and Prince Edward Island.
British Columbia (7%), Manitoba (7%), Saskatchewan (6%) and Quebec (9.975% QST) add their own sales tax on top of the GST.
To take tax out of a total, the total is divided by 1 plus the combined rate.

An example

A $100 purchase in Ontario costs $113 with HST. In Quebec it costs $114.98: $5 of GST and $9.98 of QST.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between GST and HST?

GST is the federal sales tax. HST is a single tax that combines the GST with the provincial part in the provinces that harmonized.

Which provinces have no provincial sales tax?

Alberta, the Northwest Territories, Nunavut and Yukon only charge the GST of 5%.

When did the HST change in Nova Scotia?

It went down to 14% on April 1, 2025.

Does every product pay sales tax?

No. Some goods and services are zero-rated or exempt, and rules depend on where the supply is made and who buys it. Check the CRA or your province for a specific item.
