HST Calculator: Calculate Harmonized Sales Tax Easily

The HST Calculator is here to make calculating your sales tax simple. In certain provinces, the HST combines both the federal Goods and Services Tax (GST) and provincial sales tax into one easy-to-use rate. Let’s help you figure out how much HST you owe on your purchase or transaction.

How Does the HST Calculator Work?

Select Your Province: The first step is choosing the province where the purchase is happening. This is important because HST rates vary depending on where you are (like Ontario or New Brunswick).
Enter the Purchase Amount: Input the total amount of your purchase before tax.
See the Total HST: And that’s it! You’ll instantly see the tax amount, the full price with HST included, and a clear breakdown of the tax.
Whether you’re a business, shopper, or service provider, the HST calculator takes care of the math for you.

GST Calculator: Quick & Easy Sales Tax Calculations

The GST Calculator is perfect for provinces and territories where only the Goods and Services Tax (GST) applies. The federal GST is 5% and applies to most goods and services across Canada. If you need to calculate this tax, our tool makes it fast and hassle-free.

How Does the GST Calculator Work?
Select Your Province: Choose your province or territory (like Alberta or Yukon), where only GST is applicable.
Enter the Pre-Tax Amount: Input the purchase total before the tax is applied.
Get Your GST Amount: With just one click, you’ll see the GST added to the total purchase amount, giving you the exact final cost.
For businesses or individuals calculating taxes, this GST tool saves time and eliminates guesswork.

What are GST, HST, and PST in Canada?

In Canada, sales taxes vary depending on the province you’re in. The main types of taxes you’ll come across are:

GST (Goods and Services Tax): This is a federal tax that applies across the entire country at a rate of 5%.
HST (Harmonized Sales Tax): Some provinces combine their provincial tax with the GST, and this combined tax is called the HST. It’s a single tax that covers both federal and provincial components. You’ll find HST in provinces like Ontario and Nova Scotia.
PST (Provincial Sales Tax): In provinces where the GST isn’t combined with the provincial tax, you’ll see a separate PST. For example, in British Columbia (BC), you pay both GST and PST as separate taxes.

Each province has its approach. If you live in Alberta, for instance, you’re only paying GST because they don’t have a provincial sales tax. On the other hand, Quebec has its own system, where you pay both GST and Quebec’s own sales tax (QST).

Why Do Sales Taxes Vary by Province?

Sales taxes vary because, in Canada, both the federal government and provincial governments have the authority to collect taxes. The GST is the federal portion, while each province decides on its own PST (or whether to harmonize it with the GST, which is what HST does).

This flexibility allows provinces to set tax rates that align with their needs. For example, in provinces like Ontario and New Brunswick, the government opted for a harmonized system to streamline taxes. In Quebec, they maintain a separate provincial tax system, which is why you’ll see GST and QST as separate entities.

Here’s a table that outlines the sales tax rates in Canada, including the applicable tax types (GST, HST, PST, etc.) by province, along with their rates and the portion that goes to the province:

Province/Territory	Tax Type	Rate (%)	Federal GST (%)	Provincial Share (%)
