Use this Canadian sales tax calculator to calculate GST, HST, PST, RST and QST for any province or territory. Enter a value in any input field—amount before tax, sales tax or amount after tax—and the other two values will be calculated automatically.
It also works as a reverse sales tax calculator. Enter the amount after tax to calculate the original price before tax and the sales tax included in the total. For detailed information and calculators for provinces that use HST, visit our HST calculator.
Rates last checked: August 15, 2026. The GST, HST, PST and QST rates shown above match information published by the Canada Revenue Agency. Nova Scotia’s 14% HST applies on or after April 1, 2025; earlier transactions may use a different historical rate. The tax charged can also depend on the type of supply, place of supply and purchaser.

GST rate history in Canada
Canada introduced the federal Goods and Services Tax on January 1, 1991, at a rate of 7%. The rate was reduced twice:
- January 1, 1991 to June 30, 2006: 7%
- July 1, 2006 to December 31, 2007: 6%
- January 1, 2008 to present: 5%
The current 5% rate applies across Canada. Depending on the province, it may be charged separately as GST or included as the federal portion of HST.
