How the Saskatchewan Sales Tax Calculator Works

This calculator estimates the sales tax breakdown for purchases in Saskatchewan. 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 Saskatoon or Regina, the calculator applies the 5% GST and the 6% PST to show each tax amount and your final out-of-pocket cost.
  • Reverse calculation (tax included): Turn on “Amount includes tax?”. Enter the total you paid, and the calculator works backward to separate the base price from the 11% total tax.

Understanding GST and PST in Saskatchewan

The 6% PST now applies to sectors that were previously exempt, including construction services, insurance premiums, and restaurant meals.

Most retail sticker prices in Saskatchewan are displayed before tax. You must manually account for the 11% markup when heading to the checkout. If you want to know how much tax you paid on a final receipt, use the 'Amount includes tax?' toggle.

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

The formula used in Saskatchewan is: Total = Amount × 1.11. To reverse-calculate and find the pre-tax price from a receipt, you simply divide the final total by 1.11.

Total including tax = Before-tax amount × (1 + 11%)
Before-tax amount = Total including tax ÷ (1 + 11%)
