Candle Business Profit Engine — True Cost, Pricing & Batch Calculator

Stop guessing your candle prices. This spreadsheet does the math most makers skip — true landed material cost, batch requirements, break-even price, and profit on every order — so you know exactly what to charge before you sell.

What's inside:

• Material Library — true landed cost per gram/ml for every ingredient, including shipping
• Recipe Builder — save unlimited candle recipes with automatic wax/fragrance-load math
• Batch Calculator — tells you exactly how much wax, fragrance, wicks, jars, lids, labels and boxes you need for any batch size
• Pricing Engine — true cost → break-even price → target margin → wholesale → premium pricing, all calculated automatically
• What-If Simulator — test what happens to your profit if wax prices rise or you run a discount
• Order Calculator — price and track any custom order instantly
• Business Dashboard — total revenue, cost, and profit across all your orders at a glance

Works in both Excel and Google Sheets. No macros, no plugins, no subscriptions — just formulas that update automatically as you type.

Best for: independent candle and wax-melt makers selling on Etsy, Instagram, or in person, who are ready to stop pricing by guesswork.

Not included: candle safety/IFRA guidance, accounting or tax filing — this is a costing and pricing tool.
