Simple pricing for CBAM compliance

The transitional period runs through 2026. Quarterly CBAM reports are required now. The first annual declaration — covering all 2026 imports — is due 31 August 2027, at which point certificates must also be surrendered. The 2026 phasedown factor is 2.5%, so you only pay for 2.5% of your embedded emissions that year.

Direct emissions are CO₂ released during the production process itself (e.g. from a blast furnace or kiln). Embedded emissions include direct emissions plus, for certain products, indirect emissions from electricity consumption. CBAMCalc calculates both components using IR (EU) 2023/1773 methodology, including the Art. 22 phasedown reduction.

Yes. All Specific Embedded Emissions (SEE) defaults are sourced from EU Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/1773 and its successor IR (EU) 2025/2621. Country-level carbon prices paid are also taken from official EU sources. You can override any default with plant-verified data where available.

Yes. Professional and Enterprise plans generate quarterly reports in Excel, PDF, HTML, and XML formats. The XML follows the structure expected by the EU CBAM Registry. Your EU declarant (the importer of record) will need this data to prepare the official submission.

From 2027 the definitive CBAM phase begins. Annual declarations covering the previous calendar year must be filed by 31 August. The phasedown factor rises each year — from 2.5% in 2026 to 100% in 2034 — meaning full certificate surrender for all embedded emissions by 2034.
