How much wax and fragrance do you need
-
Calculate exactly the grams of wax, the fragrance percentage, and the number of wicks you need based on the size and quantity of candles you want to make. To make candles correctly, you need to know:
- The total weight of each candle
- The number of units you want to produce
- The fragrance percentage you will use (usually between 6% and 10%).
Our calculator allows you to obtain this data automatically to avoid errors and plan your order accurately.

FAQs
1. How much wax do I need to make 50 candles?
1. How much wax do I need to make 50 candles?
It depends on the size of the container and the total number of units. The calculator converts the dimensions or volume into actual grams per candle and multiplies them by your total production.
This prevents common mistakes like underestimating or overbuying. When producing in large quantities, a small deviation per unit can add up to several kilos of difference.
Planning before buying allows you to choose larger formats and reduce the cost per kilo.
2. How to calculate the exact amount of fragrance according to the percentage?
2. How to calculate the exact amount of fragrance according to the percentage?
You just need to indicate the percentage (for example, 8%) and the calculator will automatically apply it to the total weight of wax. Working with exact percentages improves aromatic intensity, prevents technical issues, and allows for consistent results between batches. Small variations in the percentage directly affect the cost per candle.
3. Is it better to buy wax in 1 kg or in larger formats?
3. Is it better to buy wax in 1 kg or in larger formats?
If you produce few units, 1 kg may be enough. But when you make 20, 50, or 100 candles, larger sizes reduce the cost per kilo.
The calculator shows you how much you really need. That figure is the basis for deciding the most cost-effective size.
Profitability starts with the purchase, not the sale.
Additionally, our waxes have excellent compatibility with other active ingredients, making them an ideal base for cosmetic products that aim to offer additional benefits, such as soothing, regenerating, or nourishing properties. Their ability to adapt to different formulations and their texture make them perfect for a wide variety of high-quality cosmetic products.

In planned production, every unit counts.

5. Is this calculator suitable for professional production or only for beginners?
It works for both. The beginner avoids basic mistakes. The advanced producer optimizes purchases and organizes batches with precision.
When you scale up, quantity control is no longer optional.

Once you know how much material you need and how much it costs to produce your batch, the next step is to calculate the sustainable selling price.
For this, you can use our Sales Price and Profitability Calculator, where you can enter the actual costs and set your target margin.
First, you size the production. Then you secure the margin. Both tools are designed to work together.
