About this tool
How it works
The calculator treats fragrance load as a percentage of wax mass. Wax densities and safe fragrance limits vary by product, so supplier specifications take precedence.
Example
Plan twelve 200 ml candles at an 8% fragrance load and see the wax and oil totals separately.

How to use Candle Calculator
- Enter vessel volume, quantity, wax density, and fragrance load.
- Review the wax and fragrance masses for one candle and the whole batch.
- Compare the result with the wax and fragrance supplier’s safe-use specifications before mixing.
Common questions
- What does fragrance load mean?
- It is the fragrance-oil mass expressed as a percentage of the wax mass, not of the finished candle volume.
- Why does wax density matter?
- Containers are usually measured by liquid volume, while candle recipes are weighed. Density converts between the two.
