WTI–Brent Price Difference Impact Calculator
Estimate how the WTI–Brent spread impacts total cost for a given volume (barrels), and see the cost difference if you price using WTI vs Brent.
Estimate the cost impact of pricing oil using Brent vs WTI for a specific volume. This is useful for budgeting, contract comparisons, or understanding benchmark exposure.
Example: 78.00
Example: 82.00
Use the volume in your contract, shipment, or monthly planning horizon.
Spread (Brent − WTI): +$4.00 / bbl (+5.13% vs WTI)
WTI-based total: $780000.00
Brent-based total: $820000.00
Total cost difference: +$40000.00
Higher total cost: Brent
Difference equals (Brent − WTI) × volume. This is an impact estimate, not a prediction of future spreads.
How to use this wti–brent price difference impact calculator
- Enter WTI price per barrel and Brent price per barrel.
- Enter the volume you care about (barrels).
- Review the spread (Brent − WTI) and the total cost difference for that volume.
- Optionally see which benchmark produces the higher total cost.
Example
If WTI is $78, Brent is $82, and you price 10,000 barrels:
- Spread = 82 − 78 = $4/bbl
- Total cost difference = 4 × 10,000 = $40,000
- Brent-based total is higher by $40,000
