How to use this calculator
- Choose the province where the sale is made (usually where your customer is).
- Choose to add tax to a price or take it out of a total that already includes tax.
- Check the provincial sales tax. It's filled in for B.C., Manitoba and Saskatchewan; set it to 0 if it doesn't apply to what you sell.
How it's calculated
Adding tax: GST/HST = price × rate; total = price + GST/HST + PST
Removing tax: price = total ÷ (1 + GST/HST rate + PST rate)
GST/HST = price × rate
Worked examples
Ontario, $1,000 before tax: HST 13% = $130 Total = $1,130
B.C., $1,000 before tax: GST $50 + PST $70 Total = $1,120
Nova Scotia, $1,140 including tax: price = 1,140 ÷ 1.14 = $1,000 HST = $140
What this calculator doesn't cover
- Place-of-supply rules for services sold to customers in other provinces or abroad.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to register for GST/HST?
Generally yes, once your taxable sales are more than $30,000 in a single calendar quarter or over four consecutive calendar quarters. Below that you're a "small supplier" and registering is optional.
Which rate do I charge a client in another province?
Usually the rate where your client is. For example, an Alberta freelancer invoicing an Ontario client typically charges 13% HST.
