Working out a daily budget for general living expenses is a good way to avoid unexpected surprises. We’ve created the following guide to give you an indication of what you can expect to pay for typical items as well as tips for maximising your budget. Credit and debit cards are widely accepted.
Discounts are widely available to seniors, children and students throughout the Canada, and many attractions also offer a family admission price.
If you’re heading to more remote regions of Canada – the Canadian Arctic or Newfoundland & Labrador for example – make sure you get cash beforehand as ATMs aren’t common.
The main thing to be aware of is that taxes are usually not included in the label price of goods and services, and the amount of tax ranges from 6% – 15% depending on the province. The exceptions are fuel (where the price at the pump always includes all applicable taxes) and eating out.
Cameras at the ready. Check out the seaside town of Tadoussac in Quebec, and get front row seats to watch belugas, fin whales and minkes doing their amazing whaley stuff.
Restaurants have the option of including tax in their meal prices – menus must state whether the prices do or do not include tax, so if it’s unclear make sure that you ask.
Tipping is expected at restaurants and bars 15% – 20% on the pre-tax bill is the standard. When you’re staying at hotels, bellhops will expect a tip of $2 – $5 per bag and it’s welcomed if you leave a few dollars for the cleaners.
