# Sales Tax Calculators: GST, HST, PST and QST

> Add sales tax to a price or remove it again, using the right GST, HST, PST or QST rate for every province and territory today

How much sales tax lands on a purchase depends on the place of sale. In Alberta and the territories you pay just the federal GST at 5%. The Atlantic provinces and Ontario use a single blended rate. British Columbia, Saskatchewan and Manitoba add a separate provincial tax, and Quebec has its own QST.

For a fast answer at any rate, open the [GST and HST calculator](https://tax-services.ca/calculators/sales-tax/gst-hst-calculator). Type a price to add tax, or a total to strip it out. That's most of what you'll need.

## Which calculator matches your province?

A receipt gives you the total, but sometimes you need the price before tax, and doing that sum in your head at 13% isn't fun. The [reverse HST calculator](https://tax-services.ca/calculators/sales-tax/hst-reverse-calculator) strips the tax out. Where a separate provincial tax applies, use the [GST and PST calculator](https://tax-services.ca/calculators/sales-tax/gst-pst-calculator), and in Quebec use the [GST and QST calculator](https://tax-services.ca/calculators/sales-tax/gst-qst-calculator).

## What about new homes and business costs?

New homes carry tax on the purchase price, although part of it can come back. The [new home rebate calculator](https://tax-services.ca/calculators/sales-tax/gst-hst-new-housing-rebate) estimates that refund. Land transfer costs are a different matter and they don't belong here. They sit under the [property transfer tax](https://tax-services.ca/calculators/property-transfer-tax/property-transfer-tax) section of the site.

If you run a registered business, you can claim back the tax you pay on your costs, and that's why so many invoices show the tax on its own line, even when the buyer is another business that won't keep it either.

Rates are for 2026. That's all. When a province changes its rate, we update the tool and note it on the page.
