How to Calculate Carbon Tax Liability
A carbon tax places a direct price on greenhouse gas emissions, charging emitters per ton of CO2.
Formula
Annual Tax = Emissions (tons) * Tax Rate ($/ton)
Future Rate = Current Rate * (1 + Annual Increase)^Years
Current Carbon Tax Rates
Example Calculation
A company emitting 1,000 tons CO2/year faces a $50/ton tax increasing 5% annually over 5 years.
- 01Current annual tax: 1,000 * $50 = $50,000
- 02Monthly tax: $50,000 / 12 = $4,167
- 03Future rate: $50 * (1.05)^5 = $63.81/ton
- 04Projected annual: 1,000 * $63.81 = $63,814
