Note: This calculator provides estimates for indicative purposes only, based on the 2026 definitive regime under Regulation (EU) 2023/956 and Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/2620. The free-allocation deduction uses the 2026 CBAM factor (2.5% obligation / 97.5% free allocation) and will rise each year to 100% by 2034, so your real liability will grow over time. Carbon prices already paid in the country of origin are credited (Art. 9). UK CBAM obligations apply from 1 January 2027. Certificate costs are borne by the importer, not the UK exporter. Actual CBAM liability depends on verified installation-level data calculated under EU MRR methodology. Contact Below280 for a precise assessment.
