01

Product & shipment

Describe the goods you want to assess.

02

Emissions & price

Enter embedded emissions and the certificate-price assumption.

03

Optional 2026 adjustments

Advanced inputs: use the applicable CBAM benchmark / specific embedded free allocation and eligible carbon-price information for the goods and production route.

About this estimate

This is a planning estimate. The benchmark/free-allocation input is product- and production-route-specific; do not treat one benchmark as valid for every good. Actual obligations depend on classification, emissions methodology, eligible carbon price paid and current EU rules.

CALCULATION LOGIC

See what the estimate is using

1. Embedded emissions

Quantity × specific embedded emissions.

2. Free allocation

Quantity × applicable benchmark / specific embedded free allocation × 2026 CBAM factor (97.5%), when entered.

3. Carbon price paid

The model converts an eligible carbon price already paid on embedded emissions into a deduction from the estimated CBAM liability.

4. Estimated cost

Adjusted emissions × certificate price, less the eligible carbon price already paid on embedded emissions, floored at zero.
