Use this Nunavut GST calculator to add GST to a price or calculate the GST included in a tax-inclusive total.
Enter a value in any field—price before GST, GST amount or price after GST—and the other two values will be calculated automatically.
To use it as a reverse GST calculator, enter the GST-inclusive price. The calculator will determine the original price before tax and the GST included in the total.

How to calculate GST in Nunavut
To add 5% GST to a price, multiply the price before tax by 1.05:
Price including GST = Price before GST × 1.05
For example, on a $200 purchase:
- GST: $200 × 5% = $10.00
- Price including GST: $200 + $10.00 = $210.00
How to calculate reverse GST
To find the original price when GST is already included, divide the GST-inclusive price by 1.05:
Price before GST = Price including GST ÷ 1.05
For example:
$210 ÷ 1.05 = $200
The GST included in the total is $10. You can also enter the GST-inclusive amount in the calculator above to calculate the original price and GST automatically.
Why is there no territorial sales tax in Nunavut?
Nunavut does not levy its own general sales tax. Purchases are therefore generally subject only to the federal 5% GST, unlike provinces that also charge PST, QST or HST.
Nunavut became a separate Canadian territory on April 1, 1999, when the federal GST rate was 7%. The territory did not introduce an additional general sales tax. Its standard sales tax rate consequently decreased with the federal GST rate—from 7% to 6% in 2006 and to the current 5% in 2008.
