How to calculate HST manually in Nova Scotia?

In Nova Scotia , Canada, the HST is made up of two parts: a 5% federal part and a 10% provincial part. Therefore, the current HST rate in Nova Scotia is 15%. The general formula for calculating the HST amount is:

HST Amount = Price before taxes ✕ (HST rate ÷ 100)

Price including all taxes = Price before taxes + Amount of HST

For example, if you purchased a taxable product for $300, then:

HST Amount = $300 ✕ (14 ÷ 100)

HST Amount = $42

To calculate GST and PST separately, we have:

GST Amount = Price before taxes ✕ (GST rate ÷ 100)

GST Amount = $300 ✕ (5 ÷ 100)

GST Amount = $15

Similarly, to calculate the TVP,

PST Amount = Price before taxes ✕ (PST rate ÷ 100)

PST Amount = $300 ✕ (10 ÷ 100)

PST Amount = $30

So, HST = GST Amount + PST Amount

HST = $15 + $30

HST = $45

Price including all taxes = Price before taxes + Amount of HST

Price including all taxes = $300 + $45 = $345
