500–1,000 Candle Orders · Buffers
Pilot batches, burn tests and replacements are whole candles; rejects are a rate; pour loss is a share of what you melt. Count each once, in that order, and the extra over the net formula is a figure you can defend — not a nervous 10% on top.
24.28 kg
of extra wax and 2.11 kg of extra fragrance for 1,000 saleable 200 g candles at 8% · standard plan, labelled examples · ₹22,771.00 in CSI packs
Quick answers — read this first
How much extra wax and fragrance? On the standard plan, 24.28 kg of wax and 2.11 kg of oil above the net 184 kg and 16 kg.What does that cover? 40 pilot candles, a 6-candle wick trial, 10 production burn tests, 10 replacements, 3% rejects and 3% pour loss — all labelled examples.
Lean or cautious instead? Lean: +16.35 kg wax, +1.42 kg oil. Cautious: +42.15 kg wax, +3.66 kg oil.
What does it cost? ₹22,771.00 of extra wax and oil in CSI packs on the standard plan; the whole order is ₹2,81,947.40. See the priced list.
The short answer
Answer: About 24.3 kg extra wax and 2.11 kg extra fragrance for 1,000 saleable 200 g candles at 8% on a standard plan — ₹22,771.00 in Chunks and Orchard Pear.
Why: Pilots, burn tests and replacements are whole candles; rejects divide by (1 − rate); pour loss multiplies wax and oil. Counting each once avoids both shortfalls and double buffers.
Method: Pick lean, standard or cautious from your evidence → fixed candles → ÷ (1 − rejects) → × (1 + pour loss) → round to packs → no extra % on top. Buffers at 100 candles.

Straight answer
I need 1,000 saleable candles — how much additional wax and fragrance should I buy for pilot batches, burn testing, rejects and replacements?
On a standard plan, about 24.3 kg of extra wax and 2.11 kg of extra fragrance for 1,000 saleable 200 g candles at 8% (a labelled example). That covers 40 pilot candles, a 6-candle wick trial, 10 production burn tests and 10 replacements — all counted as whole candles — then a 3% reject allowance (÷ 0.97) and 3% pour loss on wax and oil (× 1.03). Total to buy: 208.28 kg of wax and 18.11 kg of oil — Chunks 41 × 5 kg + 3 × 1 kg + 1 × 500 g and Orchard Pear 18 × 1 kg + 1 × 100 g + 1 × 50 g, ₹22,771.00 more than the net formula. A lean plan adds 16.35 kg of wax; a cautious one 42.15 kg. Count each risk once — never add a further percentage on top — and sell passed pilots if you can.
One line: fixed candles for pilots, tests and replacements; a rate for rejects; a share for pour loss — each once.
For 1,000 saleable 200 g candles at 8%, buy about 24.3 kg of extra wax and 2.11 kg of extra fragrance on top of the 184 kg and 16 kg the candles themselves hold — on a standard plan of 40 pilot candles, a 6-candle wick trial, 10 production burn tests, 10 replacements, 3% rejects and 3% pour loss (all labelled examples). In CSI packs: Luxury Soy Wax Chunks 41 × 5 kg + 3 × 1 kg + 1 × 500 g and Orchard Pear 18 × 1 kg + 1 × 100 g + 1 × 50 g — ₹22,771.00 more than the net formula.
Buy Luxury Soy Wax Chunks
Four reasons to buy more than the formula — and how each is counted
A thousand saleable candles is not a thousand poured candles. The gap has four names, and each one is counted differently.
The net formula is simple: 1,000 × 200 g at 8% is 184 kg of wax and 16 kg of oil. Everything this page adds is material that is melted but does not end up in a candle you are paid for. It falls into four groups. Pilot batches rehearse the full process — melter, pour, cure, label — before the real run. Burn testing is the wick trial before production plus a few candles pulled from production to check the batch still burns like the trial. Rejects are candles poured and then failed at QC. Replacements are candles you will owe customers for breakage or complaints after dispatch.
The first three are well understood. The fourth is the one most makers forget to buy for, and the one a large corporate or retail order is most likely to call on. All four are working assumptions — CSI publishes no reject rates, no pour-loss figures and no test standards — so this page shows a lean, a standard and a cautious set, and how to replace each figure with your own history.
Labelled working assumptions · CSI convention: fixed candles first, then ÷ (1 − rejects), then × (1 + pour loss) on wax and oil
How each allowance is counted
| Allowance | What it covers | Counted as | Standard example | Why that way |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pilot batches | Full-process rehearsal before the run | Whole candles | 40 candles (2 melts of 20) | A pilot is a candle, not a percentage |
| Wick trial | Proving the wick before production | Whole candles | 6 candles | Fixed by the trial design |
| Production burn tests | Batch checks pulled from the run | Whole candles | 10 candles (1 per 100) | Fixed by your QC plan |
| Replacements | Post-dispatch breakage and complaints | Whole candles (or reserve material) | 10 candles (1%) | Owed as candles |
| Rejects | Candles failed at QC | ÷ (1 − rate) | 3% | So that 1,000 survive |
| Pour loss | Wax and oil left in melter, jug, funnel | × (1 + rate), wax and oil only | 3% | A share of everything melted |
The standard plan, step by step
Applied in the cluster's fixed order, the standard plan adds 66 whole candles (pilots, trial, burn tests and replacements), divides by 0.97 for rejects and multiplies by 1.03 for pour loss. The result is 208.28 kg of wax and 18.11 kg of oil — 24.28 kg and 2.11 kg above the net formula. The table shows exactly where each kilo goes.
Standard scenario · each row is the extra wax and oil that allowance adds
Where the extra wax and fragrance go
| Allowance | How applied | Extra wax | Extra oil | Extra ₹ (wax + oil) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pilot batches | +40 candles | 7,360.0 g | 640.0 g | ₹6,800.96 |
| Wick trial | +6 candles | 1,104.0 g | 96.0 g | ₹1,020.14 |
| Production burn tests | +10 candles | 1,840.0 g | 160.0 g | ₹1,700.24 |
| Replacement reserve | +10 candles | 1,840.0 g | 160.0 g | ₹1,700.24 |
| Rejects | ÷ (1 − 3%) | 6,066.3 g | 527.5 g | ₹5,605.53 |
| Pour loss | × (1 + 3%) wax and oil | 6,066.3 g | 527.5 g | ₹5,605.53 |
| Total extra | 24,276.6 g | 2,111.0 g | ₹22,432.65 |
The rupee column uses the Chunks 5 kg rate (₹0.60 a gram) and Orchard Pear's 1 kg rate (₹3.74 a gram), before pack rounding. Two things stand out. The pilot batches are the largest single line — a full-process rehearsal of 40 candles costs more material than all the rejects — which is why the question "can I sell the pilots?" matters (below). And pour loss, at 3%, is the second largest, because it applies to everything melted, pilots and rejects included.

Lean, standard and cautious allowance sets
| Plan | Pilots | Wick trial | Burn tests | Replacements | Rejects | Pour loss | Extra wax | Extra oil | Extra ₹ in packs |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lean | 20 | 6 | 5 | 5 | 2% | 3% | 16.35 kg | 1.42 kg | ₹15,381.00 |
| Standard | 40 | 6 | 10 | 10 | 3% | 3% | 24.28 kg | 2.11 kg | ₹22,771.00 |
| Cautious | 60 | 12 | 20 | 20 | 5% | 5% | 42.15 kg | 3.66 kg | ₹39,301.00 |
Pick the row that matches your evidence, not your nerves. A workshop with a proven wick, a stable process and low reject history can run lean; a first 1,000-candle order with a new wick and a new team should run cautious. The 105-or-110 pieces post argues the same choice for 100 candles, and the wax-and-oil-versus-glass post explains why jars need a different buffer altogether.
The two ways buffers go wrong
Counting the same slack twice. A maker who has already stacked pilots, tests, rejects and pour loss then adds "10% safety on top" is buying 20.83 kg more wax (45 × 5 kg + 4 × 1 kg + 1 × 500 g instead of 41 × 5 kg + 3 × 1 kg + 1 × 500 g) to cover risks the stack already covers. Fix: each risk gets exactly one allowance, applied once. The leftover from pack rounding — 223 g of wax and 39.0 g of oil here — is a free extra margin; do not add another percentage to cover it.
Treating replacements as rejects. Rejects are found before dispatch; replacements are owed after it, often weeks later and in ones and twos. A reject allowance on its own leaves nothing for a corporate client whose courier broke a carton. Fix: hold replacements as a fixed count — either as finished candles from the run or as reserved wax and oil (1,840 g and 160 g for 10 candles) — and record which you chose.
If your pilots pass, sell them
Pilot candles poured with the production wax, oil, wick and jar, cured and passed at QC, are saleable candles. If you plan to sell them, the production run drops by 40 and so does the material: the standard plan's wax falls from 208.28 kg to 200.46 kg. Decide before you buy — counting pilots as both waste and stock is another way of double-counting.Replacing the examples with your own numbers
The best buffer figures are the ones your own first order writes down.
Every figure in the standard plan is a placeholder until you have your own records. The fastest way to get them is to measure the first pilot batch properly. Weigh what goes into the melter and what comes out as candles; count the rejects at QC and write down why; keep a log of replacements after dispatch. After one 1,000-candle order you will have numbers that are worth more than any table.
1
Measure pour loss on the pilotWax + oil weighed in; candles weighed out; the difference ÷ weight in = your pour loss for that batch size.
2
Count rejects by causeSinkholes, wet spots, off-centre wicks, cracked glass. A cause you can fix lowers next order's rate; a cause you cannot sets it.
3
Set burn tests by your QC planOne candle per 100 (or per melt) burned against the trial candle is a common working practice; write down yours.
4
Size replacements from historyReplacements owed ÷ candles shipped on your last orders. No history? Start at a labelled 1% and review after this order.
5
Re-run the stackFixed candles, then ÷ (1 − rejects), then × (1 + pour loss). Round to packs. Do not add a percentage on top.
The CSI principle
Every risk gets one allowance, counted the way the risk happens.
Candles you will pour for tests, pilots and replacements are whole candles. Candles that fail are a reject rate. Material that sticks to the jug is pour loss. Nothing is counted twice.
The standard plan as a priced CSI order
With the standard allowances the wax is 208.28 kg — Luxury Soy Wax Chunks 41 × 5 kg + 3 × 1 kg + 1 × 500 g for ₹1,24,891.00; Chunks are ₹599.00 a kilo in 5 kg bags against ₹599.90 in the 10 kg bag, so 5 kg bags are the cheapest cover, and an order this size is worth a WhatsApp quote (no discount figure is published). The oil is 18.11 kg of Orchard Pear — 18 × 1 kg + 1 × 100 g + 1 × 50 g, ₹67,904.00; it is ₹3.74 a gram at 1 kg and 500 g against ₹3.80 at 100 g, a small break. Jars carry their own 2% breakage allowance (glass only); production wicks wait for the trial.

The White Matte jar's fill weight is not published — weigh a 200 g test pour before ordering 1121. Of the ₹2,81,947.40, the allowances account for ₹22,771.00 of wax and oil plus the extra jars, wicks and stickers they need: the price of delivering 1,000 good candles rather than hoping to. The 2% jar-breakage post and the single-wick spares post size the glass and wick buffers in more detail.
Argued against our own interest, plainly. The cautious plan sells you 17.87 kg more wax and 1.55 kg more oil than the standard one. If your wick is proven and your last order rejected less than 2%, run the lean plan and keep ₹7,390.00. Buy the buffer your evidence supports, not the biggest one.

Frequently asked questions
How much extra wax should I buy for candle production?
Enough for your fixed test, pilot and replacement candles, a reject allowance and pour loss — counted once each. For 1,000 × 200 g at 8% on a standard plan, about 24.3 kg.
What percentage should I add for candle rejects?
Use your own history. Without one, this page shows 2%, 3% and 5% as labelled examples. Apply it by dividing by (1 − rate), not by adding the percentage.
Should pilot candles count as waste?
Only if you will not sell them. Pilots poured with production materials and passed at QC are saleable; if you sell them, reduce the production run by that number.
How many burn-test candles for 1,000 candles?
A wick trial before production plus a few pulled from the run — this page uses 6 + 10 as a labelled example (one per 100). Write your own QC plan.
Do I need a separate allowance for replacements?
Yes. Rejects are caught before dispatch; replacements are owed afterwards. Hold a fixed count as finished candles or reserved wax and oil.
Should I add 10% extra on top of my allowances?
No — that double-counts. Here it would add 20.83 kg of wax for risks already covered. Pack-rounding leftover is already a small free margin.
Count each risk once
Buy for the candles you will test, fail and replace — and nothing twice.
Luxury Soy Wax Chunks at ₹2,995.00 per 5 kg, Orchard Pear at ₹3,738.00 per kilo, White Matte jars at ₹708.00 for 10, and Eco wicks from ₹118.00 for 20. Send us your reject and replacement history and we will price the plan that fits it.

What CSI's product pages state (quoted, not CSI test results): Luxury Soy Wax Chunks — maximum fragrance load 13%, cure minimum 48 hours, ideally 1–2 weeks; Luxury Soy Wax CSI 464 — fragrance load up to 10%; Premium Coconut Soy Wax CSI 468 — fragrance load up to 13%, melting point 50–53°C, pour 58–60°C; Natural Soy Pearl — no fragrance ceiling, temperatures or shelf life published. The pilot, trial, burn-test and replacement counts, the 2–5% reject rates, the 3–5% pour-loss rates, 2% glass breakage and the 200 g / 8% candle are labelled working assumptions or examples. CSI publishes no reject or pour-loss data, test standards, wick-size charts or fill weight for the White Matte jar. Costs exclude labour, lids, packaging, freight and GST.
