Why Carbora beats the free calculators

Phase-in factor, not scare numbers

Free tools multiply emissions by the full carbon price and overstate your 2026 cost ~40×. Carbora applies the official phase-in factor (2.5% in 2026, rising to 100% in 2034) for the year you choose.

Carbon-paid-abroad rebate

If your supplier's country already prices carbon, Article 9 lets you deduct it. Carbora nets it off per line — most calculators ignore it.

Real declaration, not one number

Add every CN line of a mixed shipment — steel, aluminium, cement — each with its own default value, quantity and origin. Get a professional PDF report for your CBAM declarant.

Carbora is an automated estimation tool. Figures use indicative EU default emission values and the certificate price you enter; your actual liability depends on verified producer data, the official default values in force, and the quarterly EUA price. This is not legal, customs or tax advice. Confirm with your authorised CBAM declarant or competent authority.
