Default-value cost calculator

An EU default value is the exporting country's average intensity for the good, increased by a mark-up (Regulation (EU) 2023/956, Annex IV point 4.1; IR (EU) 2026/1740, Annex I). Compare what your buyer pays on it with what the same tonnage costs on your own figure, year by year.

Which production route is your own figure for?

The act sets a different CBAM benchmark for each production route, so your figure is compared with your route's benchmark (IR (EU) 2025/2620 Annex point 5).
