Let’s take a closer look!
Candle Wax Calculator
Our calculator also functions as a candle wax calculator.
When you put in how many containers you have and what size the containers are, our calculator will tell you exactly how much candle wax you need.
The calculator will automatically deduct the amount of wax required to maintain fragrance oil percentages.
Fragrance Oil Canculator
As mentioned above, this candle making calculator also serves as a fragrance oil calculator, that will tell you exactly how much fragrance oil you need.
The fragrance oil percentages are maintained automatically based on your inputs!
How To Use This Calculator
Our candle making calculator comes with a few simple inputs.
Calculator Inputs
- Container Size
- Number Of Containers
- Fragrance Load %
Additionally, our candle making calculator has two outputs, given to you in three different units.
Calculator Outputs
- Weight in pounds
- Weight in ounces
- Weight in grams
You only need to use one of the units of measurement. If you want to measure out your candle making materials using ounces. Then measure out the number given to you for wax in ounces, and measure out the number given to you for fragrance oil in ounces that is just below it.
However, you may find it easier to just use the measurements in grams if you are making smaller batches of candles.
Here is an example of how it works:
In the above example, if you enter in that you want to make 4 – 8 oz candles with a fragrance load of 8% then you click “Calculate” and get your measurements at the bottom.
For this example, your measurements for those 4 – 8 oz candles would be 23.55 oz of wax and 2.05 oz of fragrance oil.
If you choose to measure in grams your measurements are 667.69 g of wax and 58.06 g of fragrance oil.
It’s that easy.
When you use this calculator you have to do ZERO math. Just put in your numbers in the top and get your measurements from the bottom, in the unit of measurement of your choice.
