How to Calculate Wax & Fragrance Load for Candles (Mobile Tool)
If you make candles regularly, you already know this part:
You’re switching between a calculator, a wall chart, a spreadsheet, and a timer — mid-pour.
You calculate the wax.
Then you calculate the fragrance.
Then you try to remember what percentage you used last time.
Then you set a timer on your phone.
Then you hope you stirred long enough.
It works… but it’s fragmented.
And when your process is fragmented, consistency gets harder than it needs to be.
That’s the gap I wanted to close.
How Wax & Fragrance Load Is Calculated
Every candle batch is based on three core inputs:
• The fill weight of your vessel
• Your fragrance load percentage
• The number of candles in your batch
The basic formula looks like this:
Total wax weight = fill weight × number of candles
Fragrance oil = total wax weight × fragrance load %
So for example:
If your candle is 8 oz and you’re making 12 candles at a 10% fragrance load:
• Total wax = 96 oz
• Fragrance oil = 9.6 oz
That part is simple.
What’s not simple is doing that every batch, every scent, every size — and keeping it consistent while you’re actively pouring.
The Real Problem Isn’t the Math
The math isn’t hard.
The problem is that the math lives in one place, your notes live in another place, and your timer lives in another place.
That creates friction in your workflow.
And friction is what leads to:
• Rushing
• Second-guessing
• Inconsistency
• Small mistakes that add up over time
That’s why I built a batching tool that keeps everything in one place.
A Calmer Way to Batch Candles
The Wax Remembers™ Batch Calculator is a mobile batching tool designed specifically for candle makers.
It lets you:
• Enter your vessel size, fragrance load %, and batch quantity
• Instantly calculate your wax and fragrance amounts
• Start a built-in 2-minute blend timer right after you calculate
• Reset and repeat for the next batch
All from your phone — without switching between tools mid-pour.
It stays open like an app while you work, so your process stays smooth and uninterrupted.
It’s not a teaching guide.
It’s not a spreadsheet.
It’s a working batching tool built for real candle sessions.
Why This Matters
Consistency is what separates hobby pouring from professional pouring.
Not because you don’t know what you’re doing — but because your system supports you while you do it.
When your system is simple, your mind stays calm.
When your mind stays calm, your pours stay consistent.
When your pours stay consistent, your product quality stays high.
That’s the real goal.
It’s designed to save you time, reduce small inconsistencies, and make your workflow feel calmer and more controlled.
If you batch candles regularly, it will quietly support your process every single time you pour.
And that’s exactly what a good tool should do.
