How to Use the Candle Cost Calculator
Enter each ingredient cost and the calculator works out fragrance oil weight automatically based on your load percentage. Add labor time and rate to get your true all-in cost per candle.
What Profit Margin Should You Target?
For direct-to-consumer sales aim for 40–60% gross margin. For wholesale to retailers, target at least 50% at your sell-in price. The calculator defaults to 40% — adjust it to match your channel.
