Hi!
In Canada, the sales tax rate varies by province and territory. Ontario: 13% British Columbia: 12% Alberta: 5% Quebec: 14.975% Nova Scotia: 15% Manitoba: 12%
To calculate a product's taxes, you must multiply the product's price by the tax percentage. For example, if it's 13% the taxes payable for a $4 item are: 0.13 \times $4 = $0.52 If you want to know the amount after taxes, simply add the $0.52 to the $4, which gives you $4,52.
I hope this is clearer for you! :)

If sales tax is 13%, and you're buying bread for $4.00, here’s how to calculate the tax: ✅ Step-by-step: Find the tax Multiply the price by 13% (which is the same as 0.13): 4.00×0.13=0.524.00 \times 0.13 = 0.524.00×0.13=0.52So the tax is $0.52 Find the total cost Add the tax to the original price: 4.00+0.52=4.524.00 + 0.52 = 4.524.00+0.52=4.52So the total cost with tax is $4.52 🔁 Quick tip formula: Tax = Price × 0.13 Total = Price × 1.13 For example: 4.00×1.13=4.524.00 \times 1.13 = 4.524.00×1.13=4.52
