Multiple tools are available to help Canadians determine tariff levels and what goods may cost
As the trade war between Canada and the U.S. continues, keeping track of what is tariffed, at what rate, and how much a tariffed product might cost, could be challenging.
Multiple tools and resources are available to help Canadians during these difficult times.
CalcWise, for example, has its US Trade War Cost Calculator.
Users can select the household type that most closely resembles their own, and input spending amounts on goods like dairy and eggs, clothing, and recreational gear.
Users then choose of much of their shopping is American, and the tool calculates the added cost based on current tariff levels.
A Canadian family of four that spends $1,910 on dairy and eggs and buys Canadian whenever possible could see an increased cost of $4 per month on those items.
The tool also allows users to create a PDF of their data.
Sark created a tariff resource for Canadian businesses.
Its Trade Pulse tool lets businesses enter product costs and other information, and compares how absorbing costs, passing costs through to consumers, sharing costs, or finding a new supplier, changes gross profit.
Users can also export the report for further review.
Another available resource is the Trade War Tracker.
This online tool shows how different countries are affected by U.S. tariffs, and allows users to compare countries to one another.
The U.S., for example, has a statutory tariff rate on China of 22.80 per cent. And Italy’s tariff rate is 9.63 per cent.
The statutory tariff rate for Canada is 7.77 per cent.
And the Canada-U.S. Trade Tracker from the Canadian Chamber of Commerce shows how much trade the two countries do in real time.
Since the start of 2026, almost $900 billion in trade has crossed the U.S.-Canada border, the tracker says.
The tool also indicates 25 per cent tariffs come at an economic impact of $1,900 per Canadian, and US$1,300 per American.
