About the HST Calculator
Five provinces combine federal and provincial sales tax into a single HST: Ontario 13%, Nova Scotia 14% (from 1 April 2025), and New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador and Prince Edward Island 15%. Elsewhere the 5% federal GST applies, plus provincial sales tax in British Columbia (7%), Manitoba (7%), Saskatchewan (6%) and Quebec (QST 9.975%). Alberta and the territories have GST only.
The formula
Tax = price × (HST, or GST + PST)
