A 100 g candle holds 92 g of wax at 8%. Here is what that wax costs, wax by wax.
Wax cost in a 100 g candle
| Wax | Lowest per kg | Wax / 100 g candle | At 1 kg price | Type |

| Soy Pillar Wax | ₹600.00 | ₹55.20 | ₹55.20 | 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 |

Why wax is the smallest worry in a 100 g candle
A 100 g candle is where wax matters least and everything else matters most. The wax cost is modest: ₹36.71 of Eco Soy CSI 400, ₹46.68 of CSI 464, ₹58.60 of CSI 468. What does not shrink with the candle is the list of things every candle needs regardless of size.
The costs that do not scale down
A wick costs the same in a small jar as in a large one. An Eco Candle Wick Thin (C1) is ₹5.90 each. Against ₹46.68 of CSI 464 that wick is 5.90 ÷ 46.68, about 13% of the wax cost. The same wick in a 300 g candle is under 5% of its wax. Jars, lids, labels and boxes behave the same way: a small candle carries almost the full cost of its packaging on a much smaller amount of wax. Your pouring time barely changes either. Filling ten 100 g jars takes longer than filling three 300 g jars, although they use similar wax.
So when a 100 g line is not making money, the wax is rarely the reason. Look at the jar and packaging first.
Where small candles give you room
The upside is that a premium wax costs little extra at this size. Moving a 100 g candle from CSI 464 to CSI 468 adds 58.60 − 46.68 = 11.92 rupees of wax. If a better surface or the coconut-soy blend's stated 13% load helps a gift set sell, that is a small price for it. The same move in a 300 g candle adds three times as much.
Small candles also make good test pieces. One kilogram of wax fills 10 candles of 100 g, so a single 1 kg bag gives you enough to try two wicks and two oils with a spare or two. A 500 g bag gives 500 ÷ 92, about 5 candles.

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.
