Batch Scaling Calculator
Scale a test recipe up or down. Set your starting batch, then dial in the target — wax and fragrance amounts scale proportionally.
Scaling a candle recipe from small test batches to larger production runs can be difficult without accurate calculations. Even small mistakes in scaling can affect fragrance load, wax ratios, and candle performance. This batch scaling calculator helps candlemakers convert small formulas into larger batches while maintaining the correct ingredient ratios. Whether you're increasing production for wholesale orders or preparing larger manufacturing batches, this tool ensures your candle formula remains consistent at any scale.
Scale a test recipe up or down. Set your starting batch, then dial in the target — wax and fragrance amounts scale proportionally.
Fragrance load is calculated as a percentage of the total pour weight (wax + fragrance), matching the convention used by most container wax suppliers. Cure time scales with batch size in production but not formulation — plan accordingly. For planning real batches, compare current wax options and wick options while you build your test notes.
