What factors can affect the accuracy of the Fragrance Oil Load Calculator?

Accuracy depends on consistent measurements. Variations in wax type or temperature can slightly alter results. Always aim for accurate scales and follow good practice guidelines.

Is the calculator's estimate always exact?

The estimate is an approximation based on typical usage. It may vary due to differences in candle-making techniques, ingredients, and equipment. Use it as a guide rather than a precise tool.

Fragrance Oil Load Calculator

Grams of fragrance oil for a given load percentage.

Wax weight(g)

Fragrance load(% of wax weight)

40 g of fragrance oil

Finished batch weight: 540 g (500 g wax + 40 g oil) at 8%.

Load is calculated as a percentage of the wax weight, not of the finished total. Every wax has a maximum safe fragrance load, and it differs by wax and by blend — always follow the maximum stated by your wax manufacturer. Exceeding it can cause the oil to separate, pool or become a fire risk.
