How to Use the Candle Fragrance Calculator

Step 1: Enter Candle Size

Input the finished candle size in ounces (oz) into the “Finished Candle Size (oz)” field. This should be the total weight of your desired candle, including both wax and fragrance.

Step 2: Specify Fragrance Load

Enter your desired fragrance load percentage in the “Desired Fragrance Load (%)” field. This percentage represents how much of the total candle weight will be fragrance oil. For example, a 6% fragrance load means 6% of the candle’s weight will be fragrance oil.

Step 3: Input Wax Density (Optional)

If you know the specific density of your wax, enter it in the “Wax Density (optional, g/ml)” field. This helps in more accurate volume calculations. If left blank, a default density of 0.93 g/ml will be used.

Step 4: Calculate and Review Results

Click the “Calculate” button to process your inputs. The calculator will display the amount of wax and fragrance oil you need in ounces, as well as the total weight of your candle. Review these results to ensure they meet your expectations.

Below the results, you’ll find an explanation of how the calculations were performed. This helps you understand the process and allows you to adjust your inputs if needed for future calculations.

By following these steps, you can easily determine the exact amounts of wax and fragrance oil needed for your candle-making projects, ensuring consistent quality and scent strength in your finished products.
