How the Manitoba Sales Tax Calculator Works

This calculator estimates the sales tax breakdown for purchases in Manitoba. Enter a before-tax amount (default) or switch to tax-included to reverse-calculate the subtotal.

  • Standard calculation: Enter the before-tax amount. Whether you are shopping in Winnipeg, Brandon, or Steinbach, the calculator applies the 5% GST and the 7% PST (Manitoba's provincial tax) to show your final cost.
  • Reverse calculation (tax included): Turn on “Amount includes tax?”. Enter the final receipt total, and the tool works backward to separate the base price from the combined 12% GST/PST portion.

Understanding GST and PST in Manitoba

Manitoba uses a dual tax system. The 7% PST applies to most tangible goods and an increasing number of services, including insurance, telecommunications, and digital cloud services.

In Manitoba, sticker prices in retail stores are shown before tax. You must manually account for the 12% markup at the checkout register. To find the original price from a tax-inclusive bill, use our 'Amount includes tax?' reverse calculation feature.

How to calculate sales tax in Manitoba (before tax and tax included)

The exact calculation formula in Manitoba is: Total = Amount × 1.12. To perform a reverse calculation and find the pre-tax price from a receipt, simply divide the final total amount by 1.12.

Total including tax = Before-tax amount × (1 + 12%)
Before-tax amount = Total including tax ÷ (1 + 12%)

  • Electricity and piped gas for home heating are generally exempt from the PST.
