Step 1: For each ingredient in your batch, fill in the details below and click Add Ingredient.
You can add wax, fragrance oil, dyes, botanicals, or any other ingredient you use.
All amounts and prices should match the bulk amount you purchased and the amount you used for this batch.
Tip: Units are auto-converted (e.g. kg/g, L/ml) – just pick the right ones!

Keep adding all your ingredients above. When finished, continue to overheads and batch details below.

Labelling and Packaging should be entered as the individual cost per melt (e.g. if one label is 20p, enter 0.20). When you enter the number of melts made below, the calculator will automatically multiply your labelling and packaging costs by the number of melts (e.g. 10 melts × 0.20 = £2.00 labelling total).
Labour and Utilities are your total batch cost (not per melt).

How overheads are calculated:

• Labelling: Individual label cost × number of melts.
• Packaging: Individual packaging cost × number of melts.
• Labour: Total labour for this batch (e.g. 0.5hr × £12/hr = £6).
• Utilities: A fair share of bills for this batch.

How many melts did you make in this batch?
Enter the total number of individual wax melts produced in this batch. This ensures all costs are divided accurately for pricing.

Average weight per melt (grams):
Enter the average finished weight (in grams) of a single wax melt.
Tip: For the most accurate result, weigh all unpackaged wax melts together after production (e.g. 208g for 8 melts), then divide the total weight by the number of melts you made. This gives you the average weight per melt for this batch.
Example: 208g ÷ 8 = 26g per melt
