General rates are a starting point, not a taxability decision. Some goods, services, rebates, point-of-sale relief, and provincial rules produce a different result.
How the calculator works
Pick the rate, preserve the tax lines, reconcile the cents.
The arithmetic is transparent, but selecting the legal rate still depends on the facts of the supply.
Add each tax to the subtotal
HST appears as one line. GST and PST, RST, or QST remain separate and each line is rounded to the nearest cent.
Reverse a tax-included total
The tool estimates the subtotal, then assigns any rounding remainder so every displayed line reconciles to the exact total entered.
Use the general rates within their scope
The right arithmetic can still use the wrong tax treatment.
This calculator assumes a Canadian-dollar transaction that is fully taxable at the selected jurisdiction’s general rate. It does not determine the place of supply, whether provincial tax applies, zero-rating, exemption, point-of-sale rebates, special product rates, registration status, or a non-resident seller’s collection duties. Confirm uncertain treatment with the relevant authority or a qualified adviser.

Questions behind the rate
Five checks before you use a Canadian sales-tax result.
What is the difference between GST, HST, PST, QST, and RST?
GST is the 5% federal tax. HST combines the federal and participating provincial components in one tax. British Columbia and Saskatchewan use the name PST, Québec uses QST, and Manitoba uses RST for their separate provincial sales taxes.
Which province’s sales-tax rate applies?
For GST/HST, the CRA’s place-of-supply rules use facts such as the kind of supply, where it is delivered or performed, and customer information. Separate provincial taxes have their own nexus and taxability rules. The calculator lets you test a jurisdiction; it does not choose one legally.
Why can the reverse calculation differ from a receipt by a cent?
A receipt may round each item, each tax line, or a register total at different stages. The calculator works from one entered total, estimates the subtotal, and reconciles the displayed tax lines to that exact amount.
Is Nova Scotia HST 14% or 15%?
The current general HST rate in Nova Scotia is 14%. It decreased from 15% to 14% on April 1, 2025, and the calculator uses 14%.
Does the general rate apply to everything sold in that province?
No. Exempt and zero-rated supplies, provincial exclusions, point-of-sale rebates, accommodation, vehicles, alcohol, insurance, and other special categories can follow different rules or rates.
