Soy Wax Cost Per 300 g Candle
Share
Is 10 kg cheaper than 1 kg? Only for Pearl and CSI 468 on CSI's listed prices.
How do I calculate it? Wax grams (92% of fill) × price per gram.
Does bulk save money? Little on listed packs; ask for a quote above them.
A 300 g candle holds 276 g of wax at 8%. Here is what that wax costs, wax by wax.
Wax cost in a 300 g candle
| Wax | Lowest per kg | Wax / 300 g candle | At 1 kg price | Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Luxury Soy Wax CSI 464 (flakes) | ₹507.40 | ₹140.04 | ₹140.04 | 100% soy container wax in flakes |
| Natural Soy Pearl Wax | ₹424.80 | ₹117.24 | ₹124.20 | soy-blend container wax in pearl form with a pearlescent finish |
| Eco Soy CSI 400 | ₹399.00 | ₹110.12 | ₹110.12 | 100% soy container wax in chunks, produced in India |
| Luxury Soy Wax Chunks | ₹598.00 | ₹165.05 | ₹165.32 | container and jar wax |
| Premium Coconut Soy Wax CSI 468 (flakes) | ₹637.00 | ₹175.81 | ₹179.40 | coconut-soy blend |
| Soy Pillar Wax | ₹600.00 | ₹165.60 | ₹165.60 | soy chunks made for pillar and designer mould candles |
| Size | Wax | CSI 464 | Eco Soy 400 | CSI 468 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 100 g | 92 g | ₹46.68 | ₹36.71 | ₹58.60 |
| 150 g | 138 g | ₹70.02 | ₹55.06 | ₹87.91 |
| 200 g | 184 g | ₹93.36 | ₹73.42 | ₹117.21 |
| 250 g | 230 g | ₹116.70 | ₹91.77 | ₹146.51 |
| 300 g | 276 g | ₹140.04 | ₹110.12 | ₹175.81 |
A 300 g candle puts wax near the centre of your costing
Large candles change the balance. In a 300 g jar the wax is 276 g, and it becomes one of the biggest single costs you carry: ₹110.12 of Eco Soy CSI 400, ₹140.04 of CSI 464, ₹175.81 of CSI 468. That is where a wax decision starts to show up in your margin.
Selling price rarely triples when the candle does
Makers seldom charge three times as much for three times the wax. Take two example prices: a 100 g candle at ₹499 and a 300 g candle at ₹999. With CSI 464, the small candle's wax is 46.68 ÷ 499, about 9% of its price. The large candle's wax is 140.04 ÷ 999, about 14%. The bigger candle earns more rupees per sale, but wax takes a larger share of each one. If you price large candles by instinct, check this share first.
Wicks cost more when jars get wider
Wide 300 g jars often need a thicker wick or two wicks to melt out to the edge. Which one you need is something to find in a burn test, not on paper. The cost difference is easy to see, though: one Thick (C2) wick is ₹9.44, and two Thin (C1) wicks are 2 × 5.90 = 11.80 rupees. Both are small next to the wax, so choose the wick for the burn, not the price.
Batch sizes and bags
A 10 kg bag gives 36 candles of 300 g at 8%, and a 5 kg bag gives 18. If your large candles sell in small numbers, a 5 kg bag of CSI 464 at ₹2,537.00 costs the same per kilogram as a 10 kg bag and ties up half the cash. Only Pearl and CSI 468 get cheaper per kilogram at 5 kg, and neither gets cheaper again at 10 kg.

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.

Assumptions: Fragrance load 8% of total candle weight, so wax is 92% of the fill (a 200 g candle = 184 g wax + 16 g oil). Order plans add a 5% wastage allowance (10% where stated for festive buffers). "Cheapest listed packs" is the lowest-cost combination of listed pack sizes, preferring fewer bags when prices tie within a few rupees. Candle counts are rounded down. Costs are core materials only and exclude jar, label, packaging, labour, freight and GST unless stated. Wax stated fragrance maximums are the wax maker's formulation limits, not regulatory limits. Pack sizes not listed on the store (2, 20, 25, 100 kg) are shown as combinations of listed packs; larger quantities are quoted on WhatsApp. Diwali 2026 falls on 8 November.
