Five hundred candles of 200 g at a 10% load hold 10 kg of fragrance oil. A 5% safety stock adds 500 g, but only if it sits on top of the pour loss and test candles, not in place of them. This page puts each allowance in its own line, shows what is left under five things that can go wrong, and prices the order.

Quick answers — read this first
How much fragrance oil for 500 × 200 g candles at 10%? 10,000 g net: 20 g of oil and 180 g of wax in every candle. That is the oil that ships inside the candles.

What does 5% safety stock add? 500 g (5% of the net). Added after a 3% pour allowance (300 g) and three 20 g test candles (60 g), the order is 10,860 g.

Can the 5% just cover the wastage? Then it is not safety stock. Buying 10,500 g leaves 140 g after a planned 3% loss and three tests, and 60 g short if loss runs at 5%. See what is left when things go wrong.

What should I buy? For Bergamot Amber, 10 × 1 kg + 1 × 500 g + 4 × 100 g = 10,900 g for ₹59,328.00. CSI lists oils up to 1 kg; for a single larger quantity, ask for a WhatsApp quote.
The short answer
Stack: Net 10,000 g → +3% loss 10,300 g → +3 tests 10,360 g → +5% of net 10,860 g → packs 10,900 g.
Why separate: Loss and tests are consumed by the run. Safety stock is meant to survive it and cover rejects, remakes or a late addition. Merged, the buffer disappears into normal loss.
Buy: Bergamot Amber 10 × 1 kg + 1 × 500 g + 4 × 100 g: ₹59,328.00. How much stock to keep after the run and two weeks of safety stock continue the idea.

The bar is every gram of oil in the order, to scale. Everything under the lower bracket is expected to be used up by the run: the oil in 500 candles, 3% pour loss and three test candles, all working assumptions. The last segment is the 5% safety stock, calculated on the net and kept aside. If nothing unexpected happens, it is still in the bottle when the run is finished.

Straight answer
I need 500 × 200 g candles at 10% fragrance — how much fragrance oil should I purchase including 5% safety stock?
Buy 10,860 g, built in this order. The candles hold 10,000 g: at 10% of the finished weight, each 200 g candle is 20 g of oil and 180 g of wax. Add a 3% pour allowance for oil left in pots and jugs (300 g) and three 20 g test candles (60 g). That is 10,360 g, which the run is expected to use up. Then add the 5% safety stock on the net, 500 g, which is meant to still be there when the last candle is poured. It covers rejected candles that must be remade, a pour loss higher than planned, or a client who adds a few units. If you use the 5% as your only allowance and buy 10,500 g, a normal run leaves just 140 g, and a 5% loss leaves you 60 g short. For Bergamot Amber, 10 × 1 kg + 1 × 500 g + 4 × 100 g covers the order for ₹59,328.00. At 10%, you are inside the 13% stated ceiling of Luxury Soy Wax Chunks and exactly at the 10% ceiling of CSI 464.
One line: Loss and tests are spent. Safety stock is kept. Give each its own line.
The worked oil is Bergamot Amber Fragrance Oil. Its 1 kg costs ₹5,437.00 and its 500 g ₹2,718.00, both ₹5.44 a gram. Ten kilos, a 500 g and four 100 g bottles (₹59,328.00) cover 500 candles at 10% with loss, tests and a 5% safety stock.

10 kg at 10%

Twenty grams a candle, five hundred candles. Ten kilograms of oil before any allowance at all.

The net figure uses CSI's convention: load is a share of the finished candle weight. Each 200 g candle at 10% contains 200 × 0.10 = 20 g of oil and 180 g of wax. Five hundred candles contain 10,000 g of oil and 90,000 g of wax, which add back up to 100,000 g, 500 × 200 g.

500 × 200 g at 10% · load as share of finished weight
The run before any allowance
Line Per candle × 500 In kg
Finished weight 200 g 100,000 g 100 kg
Fragrance oil (× 0.10) 20 g 10,000 g 10.0 kg
Wax (× 0.90) 180 g 90,000 g 90 kg

Ten percent is a high working load, so check the wax before anything else. Luxury Soy Wax Chunks are rated up to 13%, which leaves room. Luxury Soy Wax CSI 464 is rated up to 10%, so a 10% candle in it is at the wax maker's stated maximum, and a safety stock of oil should never become a reason to pour hotter than the recipe. Both are formulation maximums, not regulatory limits and not the best-performing load. If 10% is not already the tested winner, test it against 8%; sizing a test round covers how. At a 10% load, the convention also matters more: 10% of the 90 kg of wax is 9,000 g, a real load of 9.09% and 1,000 g short. Ordering from finished weight explains that trap.

Where the 5% belongs

A safety stock that gets used up on a normal day was never a safety stock.

Three different allowances usually get lumped together as "extra". They do different jobs, and treating them as one is how makers run short while believing they bought 5% over:

Three allowances, three jobs · figures for this run
Pour loss, test candles and safety stock are not the same thing
Allowance What it covers Expected to be used? Basis here Oil
Pour loss Film in the pot, skin in the jug, drips, top-ups Yes, every run 3% of net (working assumption) 300 g
Test candles Confirmation burns and a retained reference Yes, poured on day one 3 × 20 g 60 g
Safety stock Remakes, higher-than-planned loss, late additions No, only if something goes wrong 5% of net (your figure) 500 g

The order of operations follows from those jobs. First the net, then the allowances you expect to spend (pour loss as a percentage, tests as units), and only then the safety stock. Calculate the safety stock on the net, not on the net plus loss, because it protects the candles, not the pot. Round to real bottles last.

Order of operations · one line per allowance
Building 10,860 g
Step Rule Adds Running total
1. Net 500 × 20 g 10,000 g 10,000 g
2. Pour loss 3% of net (working assumption) 300 g 10,300 g
3. Test candles 3 × 20 g 60 g 10,360 g
4. Safety stock 5% of net 500 g 10,860 g
5. Round to packs 10 × 1 kg + 1 × 500 g + 4 × 100 g 40 g 10,900 g

Some makers prefer to apply the 5% to everything, which gives 10,360 × 1.05 = 10,878 g. The difference is 18 g on this order, well inside the rounding to bottles, so either works. What does not work is using the 5% instead of steps 2 and 3. That gives 10,500 g, and the next section shows what happens to it.

Label the safety stock on the shelf
When the bottles arrive, set aside the equivalent of the safety stock and mark it: "Safety stock, 500-candle order, do not open unless needed". Unmarked, it is just more oil, and it gets used on the first busy afternoon. After the run, it either becomes the start of the next order's stock or the retained sample library.

What is left when things go wrong

The honest test of a safety stock is to run the order under a few realistic problems and see what is left in the bottle. The table compares buying 10,900 g (the stack above, rounded to bottles) with buying 10,500 g (5% used as the only allowance):

Oil remaining after the run · 20 g per candle
Five runs, two purchases
Scenario Bought 10,900 g (stack) Bought 10,500 g (5% only)
As planned: 3% loss, 3 tests, no rejects 540 g left 140 g left
Pour loss runs at 5% 340 g left 60 g short
10 candles rejected and remade 340 g left 60 g short
5% loss and 10 remakes 140 g left 260 g short
Client adds 25 candles 40 g left 360 g short

With the full stack, every scenario finishes with oil to spare; even 25 extra candles (500 g) leave 40 g in the bottle. With 5% as the only allowance, a pour loss of 5% or ten remakes is enough to stop the run before the last candles. On a 10% run the risk is higher than at lower loads, because every remade candle takes 20 g, not 12 or 16.

The buffer that was spent on day one. A maker buys 10.5 kg, calls the extra 500 g "5% safety stock" and pours. Pot and jug losses take about 300 g over the run, the three test candles take 60 g, and two cracked jars mean two remakes. By the last day there is 100 g left and a client asks for five more candles. The maker had a buffer on paper and none in the bottle. Keep pour loss and tests on their own lines, and the 5% is still there when it is needed.
The CSI principle
Spent allowances and kept allowances go on different lines.
Pour loss and test candles are part of making the order. Safety stock is insurance against the order not going to plan. If a single percentage is doing both jobs, it is doing neither.

How big should the safety stock be? Five percent is your figure, and it is reasonable for a one-off order. It covers 25 candles' worth of oil at 20 g each. If you expect more remakes than that, or the client has a history of late additions, size it in candles, not percent: count the units you want to be able to remake and multiply by 20 g. For ongoing production, safety stock is usually sized in days of use instead; two weeks of safety stock and safety stock when demand varies by 20% cover that approach.

Rounding 10,860 g to real bottles

At eleven kilos, bottle count matters as much as price. Twenty-six bottles is not a sensible way to buy one oil.

CSI lists fragrance oils up to 1 kg per listing, so 10,860 g is a combination of listed sizes or a single quoted quantity. For Bergamot Amber, the strict cheapest combination is 21 × 500 g + 3 × 100 g + 1 × 50 g + 1 × 15 g (₹59,143.02), because its 500 g is priced 50 paise below half a kilo. That is 26 bottles to save a few rupees. The practical order uses kilos:

Bergamot Amber · need 10,860 g · in-stock sizes · CSI live pricing, 24 September 2026
Four ways to buy the order
Option Bottles Grams Cost Bottle count
Strict cheapest 21 × 500 g + 3 × 100 g + 1 × 50 g + 1 × 15 g 10,865 g ₹59,143.02 26
Practical (recommended) 10 × 1 kg + 1 × 500 g + 4 × 100 g 10,900 g ₹59,328.00 15
Eleven kilos 11 × 1 kg 11,000 g ₹59,807.00 11
5% only (not enough) 21 × 500 g 10,500 g ₹57,078.00 21

The practical order costs ₹184.98 more than the strict cheapest and uses 11 fewer bottles. Eleven kilos costs ₹479.00 more again for 100 g more, which is only worth it if you want every bottle the same size. For an order this size, a single WhatsApp quote is the obvious next step; no volume discount figure is published, so ask rather than assume one.

Argued against our own interest, plainly. On most oils the kilo is priced the same per gram as the 500 g, so we could sell you eleven kilos without a second thought. On Saffron Cedarwood that would be a mistake: its 500 g is ₹5.17 a gram and its 1 kg ₹6.87. For this order, twenty-two 500 g bottles cost ₹56,852.40 and eleven kilos ₹75,543.60, a difference of ₹18,691.20. Read the per-gram price of every size before you default to the kilo.

Wick size for a 10% candle in your jar is not published, so confirm it in the test candles.

After the run. Whatever safety stock survives is the opening stock for the next order of this candle. How much additional stock to keep after a 2,000-candle run covers the next decision, and measuring real consumption with bottle weights tells you whether 3% loss was right.

For the bench side of the same maths, weighing a batch pour by pour shows where pour loss actually happens, and the 1 kg question at 6% shows how a small top-up is priced when the need sits just above a pack size.

Why trust this guide

CANDLEMAKINGSUPPLIESINDIA supplies raw materials, not finished candles. Safety stock is an easy place to oversell. This page sizes it on the net, recommends a practical 15-bottle order over eleven kilos, and flags Saffron Cedarwood, where defaulting to our kilo would cost you far more than the 500 g route.

Oil and wax prices are CSI live pricing pulled on 24 September 2026. Wick and jar prices are those verified for Blog 760 on 10 September 2026 and the 25 September catalogue pull. Out-of-stock sizes are never offered as buyable. The 10,000 g figure is arithmetic (500 × 200 g × 0.10); the scenario table is arithmetic on the stated assumptions.

The 3% pour loss and three test candles are working assumptions; the 5% safety stock is the reader's figure. The 13% (Luxury Soy Wax Chunks) and 10% (CSI 464) ceilings are wax makers' stated formulation maximums, not regulatory limits. CSI lists oils up to 1 kg per listing and wax bags up to 10 kg; larger quantities are quoted on WhatsApp. Message us at +91 7397976926 for quotes, GST invoicing, MSDS or IFRA documentation.

Frequently asked questions

how much fragrance oil for 500 candles 200g at 10 percent
10,000 g in the candles (20 g each). With 3% pour loss and three test candles, 10,360 g. With a 5% safety stock on top, 10,860 g.
how do I calculate safety stock for fragrance oil
Calculate the net need from finished weight and load, add the allowances you expect to spend (pour loss, test candles), then add safety stock as a percentage of the net or as a number of candles × oil per candle. Keep it on its own line so it is not spent as normal loss.
is 5 percent extra fragrance oil enough
As safety stock on top of pour loss and tests, 5% is a reasonable buffer for a one-off order: on 500 × 200 g at 10% it covers 25 remade candles. As the only allowance it is thin; a normal 3% pour loss and a few tests use most of it.
what is the difference between wastage and safety stock
Wastage (pour loss) is oil the run uses up every time. Safety stock is oil you plan not to use and only draw on if something goes wrong. Wastage is part of making the order; safety stock is insurance for it.
is 1 kg fragrance oil cheaper than 500 g
For most oils the per-gram price is nearly identical. Some are exceptions: Saffron Cedarwood's 500 g is ₹5.17 a gram against ₹6.87 for the 1 kg, so buy it in 500 g bottles. Always compare the per-gram price of each listed size.
can I use 10 percent fragrance in soy wax
In Luxury Soy Wax Chunks, rated up to 13%, yes. In CSI 464, rated up to 10%, 10% is the ceiling. Those are wax makers' stated maximums, not recommended loads. Test 10% against a lower load before a large run.
Stack the allowances
