Sales Tax Rate in Prince Edward Island in 2026
| Tax | Rate |

| HST charged | 15% |
Prince Edward Island applies the 15% HST: a 5% federal share and a 10% provincial share, merged into a single tax collected by the Canada Revenue Agency. No GST is added on top on the receipt.
The rate is the same as in New Brunswick and Newfoundland and Labrador: a $1,000.00 invoice carries $150.00 of HST there, for a total of $1,150.00. As everywhere in the country, some goods are zero-rated, such as basic groceries; the calculator applies the general rate.
Worked Example: $60.00 in Prince Edward Island
Tax = price before tax × 15%
Total = price before tax × 1.15
Example: $60.00 before tax in Prince Edward Island
The math: $60.00 × 15% = $9.00 of HST. Each tax is rounded to the cent, then added to the price, for a total of $69.00.
The Other Way: Finding the Price Before Tax
If the displayed price already includes tax, divide it by 1.15: $69.00 ÷ 1.15 = $60.00. Subtracting 15% from the total would give $58.65, too low a result: the percentage applies to the price before tax, not the total.
Frequently Asked Questions: Sales Tax in Prince Edward Island
What is the sales tax rate in Prince Edward Island in 2026?
The rate is 15% in Prince Edward Island: it's the HST, which combines the 5% federal share with a 10% provincial share. On $100.00, the tax is $15.00, for a total of $115.00.
How do I calculate sales tax in Prince Edward Island?
Multiply the price before tax by 1.15 to get the tax-included total, or by 15% to get the tax alone. On $60.00, the tax is $9.00 and the total is $69.00.
How do I remove sales tax from a price in Prince Edward Island?
Divide the tax-included amount by 1.15, instead of subtracting 15%. A $69.00 total gives back $69.00 ÷ 1.15 = $60.00 before tax. The CalculatriceTaxes.ca reverse calculator applies this formula automatically.
Do I add GST on top of HST in Prince Edward Island?
No. The 15% HST already includes the 5% federal share. The receipt shows a single HST line; adding GST on top would tax the federal share twice.
