How Many 100 g Candles Can I Make With 10 Kg Wax?
Share
Why fewer than I expected? Because 8% of each candle is oil, a 200 g candle holds 184 g of wax.
How much oil with it? 0.86 kg for 54 candles of 200 g.
Which wax? Luxury Soy Wax CSI 464 (flakes) as a default.
100 g candles are tins, votives and sample sizes. 10 kg turns into more than a hundred of them.
What 10 kg makes
| Candle size | Wax per candle | Candles from 10 kg | Oil needed at 8% | Wicks | Typical vessel |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 100 g | 92 g | 108 | 0.86 kg | 108 | tins, votives and sample jars |
| 150 g | 138 g | 72 | 0.86 kg | 72 | small gifting jars |
| 200 g | 184 g | 54 | 0.86 kg | 54 | the standard single-wick jar |
| 250 g | 230 g | 43 | 0.86 kg | 43 | larger premium jars |
| 300 g | 276 g | 36 | 0.86 kg | 36 | wide jars and long-burn candles |
Wax cost per 100 g candle
| Wax | 10 kg cost | Wax per candle |
|---|---|---|
| Luxury Soy Wax CSI 464 (flakes) | ₹5,074.00 | ₹46.98 |
| Natural Soy Pearl Wax | ₹4,248.00 | ₹39.33 |
| Eco Soy CSI 400 | ₹3,992.00 | ₹36.96 |
| Luxury Soy Wax Chunks | ₹5,990.00 | ₹55.46 |
| Premium Coconut Soy Wax CSI 468 (flakes) | ₹6,370.00 | ₹58.98 |
At 100 g (tins, votives and sample jars), each candle holds 92 g of wax and 8 g of oil. 10 kg makes 108 candles, with 64 g of wax left over.
108 tins, favours and samples from one bag
100 g candles are bought by a different maker: someone filling tins for a sampler box, votives for a café, or a hundred favours for a wedding or a naming ceremony. At this size small errors multiply, because the same bag makes twice as many candles as it does at 200 g.
A few grams per tin adds up
The 108 figure assumes exactly 92 g of wax in every tin. Over-fill each by 5 g and 108 tins use 540 g more wax, which is five tins you can no longer pour. Under-fill and the tins look mean beside each other in a favour box. Pour to a weighed line, not by eye.
At 100 g, the wick and oil matter more
The wax in a 100 g candle of CSI 464 is ₹46.68. An Eco Candle Wicks Thin (C1) wick is ₹5.90, a far larger share of the cost than it is in a big jar. Oil moves the cost too: each tin takes 8 g, so a 100 g bottle scents 12 tins whether it is Citrus Lemon at ₹300.00 or Dark Vanilla at ₹790.00. For 108 tins you need 864 g of oil, about nine 100 g bottles.
If you want the cheapest wax per tin, Eco Soy CSI 400 works out at ₹36.71 and Natural Soy Pearl Wax at ₹39.08, but neither publishes a fragrance load, so test before committing an event order to either.
Metal tins and heat
Tins conduct heat. A favour left in a hot car or on a sunny reception table in April or May can soften at the surface, and a strongly scented one can sweat. Store finished tins boxed in a cool room, and hand them over as close to the event as you can.

CANDLEMAKINGSUPPLIESINDIA supplies raw materials, not finished candles. We publish every pack price, so every per-kilogram and per-candle figure here can be checked against the product pages — including the ones that show a bigger bag is not cheaper.
Prices are taken from live CSI stock in September 2026. Where a product page does not publish a specification, this guide says so rather than filling the gap.
