| Component | Rate | Tax on $100 |
|---|---|---|
| GST (federal) | 5% | $5.00 |
| Total | 5% | $5.00 |
| Before tax | Tax at 5% | Total |
|---|---|---|
| $10.00 | $0.50 | $10.50 |
| $50.00 | $2.50 | $52.50 |
| $100.00 | $5.00 | $105.00 |
| $500.00 | $25.00 | $525.00 |
| $1,000.00 | $50.00 | $1,050.00 |
| $5,000.00 | $250.00 | $5,250.00 |
If the price already includes tax, divide by 1.05. That gives the before-tax price; the tax amount is the original total minus the before-tax price.
| Tax-included total | Before tax | Tax removed |
|---|---|---|
| $52.50 | $50.00 | $2.50 |
| $105.00 | $100.00 | $5.00 |
| $525.00 | $500.00 | $25.00 |
| $1,050.00 | $1,000.00 | $50.00 |
