Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common candle-making questions and learn how our calculators can help your projects.
How much wax do I need for my candle project?
Use our Candle Wax Calculator to determine the exact amount of wax needed based on your container size, number of candles, and wax type. Simply enter your jar size and get precise measurements.
What should I charge for my handmade candles?
Our Candle Cost Calculator helps you price your candles by calculating material costs (wax, fragrance, containers, wicks) plus your desired profit margin. Most makers use a 50-100% markup.
How do I choose the right wick size?
Wick size depends on your container diameter and wax type. Our Candle Wick Calculator takes the guesswork out of wick selection to ensure proper burn and scent throw.
How long will my candle burn?
Burn time depends on wax type, wick size, and candle diameter. Use our Candle Burn Time Calculator to estimate how many hours your candles will last.
What percentage of fragrance oil should I use?
Most candle makers use 6-10% fragrance load. Start with 6% for light scent, 8% for medium, and 10% for strong. Always check your wax manufacturer recommendations for maximum fragrance load.
Are these calculators accurate for all wax types?
Yes! Our calculators include density data for soy wax, paraffin, beeswax, coconut wax, and blended waxes. Each calculation uses the specific properties of your chosen wax type.
