CBAM Cost Calculator

Estimate your CBAM cost exposure by product, origin, and volume. Uses the statutory phase-in schedule and live EUA price. Carbon intensity ranges are sourced from IEA, World Steel Association, GCCA, IAI, and IFA.

EUA price: €75.64 /tCO₂eas of 2026-05-122030 CBAM coverage: 48.5%

Covers power sector only. ~¥70 CNY/tCO₂. Does not directly cover steel, cement, or aluminium producers.

Only mandatory carbon prices (ETS, carbon tax) are deductible. Voluntary offsets are not. Details →

Indicative estimate only. Actual CBAM obligation depends on installation-specific embedded emissions verified by an accredited verifier, the EUA price at the time of certificate surrender, and any carbon price demonstrably paid in the country of origin. Carbon intensity ranges reflect published industry data and may differ from your supplier's actual emissions.
