About free cbam calculator
Most CBAM tools on the first page of search results are lead-generation forms: you enter your details, and a consultancy calls you back with a quote. This calculator is the opposite — it runs entirely in your browser, gives you a number in seconds, and stores nothing.
The engine applies the official CBAM mechanics: embedded emissions times the CBAM factor for the declaration year, priced at the weekly EU ETS certificate price you enter. Every assumption is editable and labelled, so you can replace the example intensities with your verified values.
Frequently asked questions
Is it really free?
Yes — calculation, summary copy, and the printable report are all free. There is no account, no trial, and no server-side upload path.
What does it cost consultants to do this for me?
Advisory CBAM assessments typically run from a few hundred to several thousand euros per installation. A free estimate helps you sanity-check their numbers before paying.
Is my data uploaded anywhere?
No. The calculator is a static page — parsing, math and the report all happen in your browser. There is no server-side form handler at all.
How accurate is the estimate?
The arithmetic is exact; the inputs carry the uncertainty. Certificate prices move weekly, intensities vary by installation, and rules evolve — hence the range and the disclaimers.
Is this legal or compliance advice?
No. It is an estimation and education tool. Official rules, default values and prices are published by the European Commission; verify before filing or contracting.
