About HST & GST calculator
Canada charges a 5% federal Goods and Services Tax (GST) everywhere. Five provinces combine it with their provincial tax into a single Harmonized Sales Tax (HST): Ontario at 13%, Nova Scotia at 14%, and New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador and Prince Edward Island at 15%.
British Columbia, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Quebec charge GST plus a separate provincial sales tax (PST, RST or QST), while Alberta and the three territories charge GST only. This calculator applies the right combination for the province you choose.
