What this calculator does that most don't
  • Commercial mode runs to $50M — including BC's additional 2% residential band over $3M and Toronto's luxury MLTT surtax bands (increased April 1, 2026) to $20M+
  • First-time-buyer and newly-built exemptions with their real phase-out ranges, not just the headline thresholds
  • GST/HST logic including commercial self-assessment — where a registered buyer pays $0 cash at closing and claims the input tax credit
