1. What is TPS and TVQ?

TPS (Taxe sur les Produits et Services) and TVQ (Taxe de Vente du Québec) are sales taxes applied in Quebec, Canada. TPS is the federal GST (5%) and TVQ is the provincial sales tax (9.975%).

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following formulas:

\[ TPS = Amount \times (TPS\ Rate / 100) \] \[ TVQ = Amount \times (TVQ\ Rate / 100) \] \[ Total\ Tax = TPS + TVQ \] \[ Total\ Amount = Amount + Total\ Tax \]

Where:

\( Amount \) — The pre-tax amount in CAD
\( TPS\ Rate \) — TPS tax rate (default 5%)
\( TVQ\ Rate \) — TVQ tax rate (default 9.975%)
