GST / HST / PST Sales Tax Calculator (2026)
How is GST/HST calculated in Canada?
To add sales tax, multiply the price before tax by your province's combined rate. The calculator does it in one step and also runs in reverse, extracting the tax from a tax-included total.
- Take the price before tax (for example $100).
- Find your province's combined rate (Ontario 13%).
- Multiply: $100 × 1.13 = $113.00 total.
- To reverse it, divide the total by 1.13 to get the pre-tax price.

What is the difference between GST, HST, PST and QST?
GST is the 5% federal Goods and Services Tax. In HST provinces, the federal and provincial taxes are harmonized into one Harmonized Sales Tax administered by the CRA. In British Columbia, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, a separate Provincial Sales Tax (PST, called RST in Manitoba) applies alongside the GST. Quebec applies its own Quebec Sales Tax (QST) of 9.975%, collected by Revenu Québec.
How do you reverse-calculate the tax from a total?
If you only know the tax-included total, divide it by one plus the combined rate. A $113.00 total in Ontario divided by 1.13 gives $100.00 before tax and $13.00 of HST. The reverse mode above does this for any province, which is handy for expense reports and invoices that show only the final amount.
Do you charge tax based on the buyer or the seller?
For most goods, the rate is set by the place of supply — generally where the customer takes delivery. A business in British Columbia shipping to Ontario charges 13% Ontario HST, not BC tax. The calculator lets you pick the destination province so the rate matches the place of supply.
