Fill weightWeigh a filled candle minus the empty jar: say 200 g.
2
Wax shareAt an 8% fragrance load, wax is 92%: 184 g.
3
Price per gramLuxury Soy Wax CSI 464 (flakes) is ₹507.40/kg = ₹0.5074 per gram.

Where the wax-cost method goes wrong, and how to check your own figure
The arithmetic is rarely where makers slip. The errors come from the inputs: the weight you start from, the way you count fragrance, and the price you plug in.
Start from the weight that is really in the jar
A jar sold as 200 ml does not tell you your fill in grams, and most makers stop short of the brim anyway. Weigh an empty jar, fill it to your usual line, let it set, then weigh it again. The difference is your fill weight. Do it once per jar style. If your "200 g" candle actually holds 180 g, every cost you have worked out is too high and every stock plan is too big.
Decide which fragrance convention you use
CSI's figures treat fragrance as 8% of the whole candle, so wax is 92% of the fill. Many product pages state load as a share of wax weight instead: Luxury Soy Wax Chunks, for instance, states a maximum of 13% of wax weight. The two conventions give slightly different wax figures. At 8% of the total, a 200 g fill holds 184 g of wax. At 8% of wax weight, it holds 200 ÷ 1.08, about 185.2 g. The gap widens at higher loads, so use one convention everywhere.
Use the price you pay, not the lowest one listed
Published per-candle tables use each wax's lowest listed price per kilogram. Buy the 500 g bag of CSI 464 and you pay ₹520.00 per kg, not ₹507.40. Buy CSI 468 one kilogram at a time and you pay ₹650.00, not the ₹637.00 of the 5 kg bag. Your cost sheet should carry the per-kilogram price of the pack you actually order, refreshed every time you reorder.
Common slip: copying a headline per-candle number into your costing. Divide your own pack price by its grams, then multiply by your own wax grams.
Put the answer next to a selling price
One more step turns a number into a decision. Divide the wax cost by your selling price. At an example price of ₹499, the ₹93.36 of CSI 464 in a 200 g candle is 93.36 ÷ 499, roughly 19% of the price. At an example ₹999 it is about 9%. That share tells you how much a future wax price change can hurt. A 10% rise in wax moves your margin by a tenth of that share, not by 10%.
A habit worth keeping
Keep one line per wax: pack bought, price paid, price per gram, wax grams, cost per candle. When a price changes, you change one cell.Where this page fits
This page overlaps an older CSI guide, so it takes a narrower job and leaves the rest to that guide. In the Candle Business series, CSI-928 (wax cost per candle) covers the business side.

Argue against interest
Buy the wax your candle needs, not the bag that looks professional.
We would sell more by telling you to buy 10 kg. On most of our waxes it is not cheaper per kilogram, and wax you cannot use before summer is a storage problem.
Price the candle, not the kilogram.
