How Many 200 g Candles Can I Make With 10 Kg Wax?
शेयर करना
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.
200 g is the standard unit across CSI's guides. 10 kg makes 54 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 200 g candle
| Wax | 10 kg cost | Wax per candle |
|---|---|---|
| Luxury Soy Wax CSI 464 (flakes) | ₹5,074.00 | ₹93.96 |
| Natural Soy Pearl Wax | ₹4,248.00 | ₹78.67 |
| Eco Soy CSI 400 | ₹3,992.00 | ₹73.93 |
| Luxury Soy Wax Chunks | ₹5,990.00 | ₹110.93 |
| Premium Coconut Soy Wax CSI 468 (flakes) | ₹6,370.00 | ₹117.96 |
At 200 g (the standard single-wick jar), each candle holds 184 g of wax and 16 g of oil. 10 kg makes 54 candles, with 64 g of wax left over.
Using 54 as a yardstick for your own production
54 candles of 200 g per 10 kg is the figure CSI's guides treat as the standard unit. Its most useful job is not planning but checking. Pour a full 10 kg bag into 200 g jars, count the finished candles, and 54 tells you how much you lost.
Audit a bag
Keep a simple record: bag date, good candles, rejects, and what was left in the pot. If a bag gave you 48 good candles, six are missing. At 184 g each, that is 1,104 g of wax, about 11% of the bag and more than twice the 5% allowance. Somewhere between the melter and the shelf, over a kilogram went astray.
The oil yardstick
The same arithmetic works for oil. Each candle takes 16 g, and a kilogram of oil covers 62 candles. One 1 kg bottle therefore covers a 10 kg bag of wax with enough to spare for eight more candles. If your oil runs out before your wax, you are over-pouring the fragrance.
Price your standard jar from it
At 200 g the wax is ₹93.36 per candle in CSI 464, ₹110.03 in Luxury Soy Wax Chunks and ₹117.21 in Premium Coconut Soy Wax CSI 468, at each wax's lowest listed per-kilogram price. Divide your actual bag cost by your actual candle count, not by 54, and compare the two. The difference is the price of your losses.
The weather in the log
The pouring room changes the result. Wax that cools too quickly can pull away from the glass, and in a humid week frosting appears. Neither affects the burn, but both create rejects if your buyers are strict. Note the weather beside each bag audit and a pattern will show itself within a season.
