How the Yukon Sales Tax Calculator Works

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

  • Standard calculation: Enter your before-tax amount. Whether you are shopping in Whitehorse or Dawson City, the calculator will only apply the 5% federal GST, as the Yukon has no provincial/territorial sales tax.
  • Reverse calculation (tax included): Turn on “Amount includes tax?”. If you have a final receipt from a Yukon retailer, the tool works backward to separate the 5% GST from the base price.

Understanding GST and PST in Yukon

Whitehorse is a popular destination for major purchases because of the 0% territorial tax rate. Unlike US states like Alaska (which also has no sales tax), Yukon residents pay the federal GST.

Like the rest of Canada, sticker prices on retail shelves in the Yukon do not include the 5% GST. You should always expect this small addition at the checkout. Use the 'Amount includes tax?' toggle to extract the exact GST paid on your final bill.

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

The exact formula used in the Yukon is straightforward: Total = Amount × 1.05. To reverse-calculate and find the pre-tax price from a receipt, simply divide the total by 1.05.

Total including tax = Before-tax amount × (1 + 5%)
Before-tax amount = Total including tax ÷ (1 + 5%)

Rules & Exemptions

  • No territorial sales tax on vehicles or restaurant meals (only GST applies).
  • Online purchases delivered to Yukon are charged only 5%. Specific taxes apply only to fuel and tobacco products.
