Calculate GST, HST, QST, PST, and US sales tax instantly. Enter a subtotal or reverse-calculate from a total.
This formula has no tax components.
The federal Goods and Services Tax (GST) rate in Canada is 5%. It applies in all provinces and territories.
The Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) combines the federal GST with a provincial component. Ontario (13%), Nova Scotia (15%), New Brunswick (15%), Newfoundland and Labrador (15%), and Prince Edward Island (15%) use HST.
In Quebec, you pay both GST (5%) and QST (9.975%). Use the calculator above and select the Quebec QST formula — it will calculate both taxes on your subtotal and show the full breakdown.
Reverse calculation finds the pre-tax subtotal when you only know the total amount paid. Switch to "Total → Subtotal" mode, enter the grand total, and the calculator will extract the subtotal and tax breakdown.
