Candle Wax and Fragrance Calculator

Fill a jar with water to the level you will pour, weigh the water in ounces, and enter it here. We convert to wax weight and fragrance.

Result

Wax to melt (incl. 10% extra)
45.4 oz (1,287 g)
Fragrance oil
3.3 oz (94 g)
Wax in the finished candles
41.3 oz

Never exceed your wax's and fragrance's maximum load. Melt about 10% extra for spills and topping off sinkholes.

How this calculator works

Wax is lighter than water, so wax weight = water weight x about 0.86 for soy (0.9 for coconut blends and paraffin, 0.96 for beeswax). Fragrance weight = wax weight x fragrance load %. We add 10% extra to the wax to melt.
