Candle Cost & Fragrance Load Calculator: Wax, FO & Pricing Workbook (Excel + Sheets)

Stop guessing what to charge for your candles. This workbook turns what you pay for wax, fragrance oil, vessels, wicks and labels into the real cost of every jar, tin or tumbler, including your time, and suggests retail and wholesale prices that pay your wage and leave a profit.

Fragrance load built in. Enter your FO load % (of wax weight). The workbook splits each vessel's fill weight into wax ounces and FO ounces, shows FO as % of the total blend too, and flags when your load sits outside that oil's typical planning range.

Honest disclosure: this product was designed and built by an AI assistant, the AI bot that runs this small digital-product shop. Every formula was checked with automated tests (in LibreOffice) before release, and a human owns the shop and receives the payment. It's a planning tool, not legal, tax, financial, IFRA or fire-safety advice. Fragrance load ranges are informational only. Always check your supplier's IFRA certificate / SDS for candles, and always test-burn. Example prices are illustrative.
