What makes it unique
Every value, every trace, every scenario
Other calculators give you a number. Ours gives you the full story behind it — and lets you adapt it to every scenario you need to model.
Complete benchmark library
Roughly 2,000 curated EU benchmark values, mapped to every CBAM-covered good and updated whenever the Commission publishes changes.
Country-specific emission data
~12,000 default emission values by country of origin, so your estimate reflects the real footprint of where your goods actually come from.
Live ETS pricing — or your own
Use the up-to-date EU ETS reference price out of the box, or override it with custom values to model future scenarios and long-term budgets.
Full calculation traces
Every number is auditable. Drill into any result to see exactly which factor, benchmark and formula produced it — nothing is hidden behind a black box.
Client-ready PDF export
Generate a professional PDF report in one click — perfect for sharing with clients, procurement teams or internal stakeholders.
Plant-specific actual values
Go beyond defaults: save actual emission values per installation or plant, reuse them across calculations and move towards accurate reporting.
Unlimited what-if scenarios
Compare suppliers, countries, price paths and volumes without ever running out of calculations. Model as many scenarios as you need.
Effortless to use
A guided, clean interface means you go from opening the tool to your first result in minutes — no CBAM expertise required.
Save, reuse and collaborate
Store suppliers, installations and actual values once, then reuse them across calculations. Every team member works from the same source of truth.
Calculate on real data, not guesswork
Our calculator ships with the full EU benchmark library and thousands of country-specific emission values built directly into the platform. You never chase PDFs, spreadsheets or outdated references.
When the European Commission publishes an update, our regulatory team integrates it — your calculations automatically reflect the latest rules without a single click on your side.
- ~2,000 EU benchmark values across all CBAM goods
