Soy Wax Cost Per 200 g Candle
शेयर करना
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 200 g candle holds 184 g of wax at 8%. Here is what that wax costs, wax by wax.
Wax cost in a 200 g candle
| Wax | Lowest per kg | Wax / 200 g candle | At 1 kg price | Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Luxury Soy Wax CSI 464 (flakes) | ₹507.40 | ₹93.36 | ₹93.36 | 100% soy container wax in flakes |
| Natural Soy Pearl Wax | ₹424.80 | ₹78.16 | ₹82.80 | soy-blend container wax in pearl form with a pearlescent finish |
| Eco Soy CSI 400 | ₹399.00 | ₹73.42 | ₹73.42 | 100% soy container wax in chunks, produced in India |
| Luxury Soy Wax Chunks | ₹598.00 | ₹110.03 | ₹110.22 | container and jar wax |
| Premium Coconut Soy Wax CSI 468 (flakes) | ₹637.00 | ₹117.21 | ₹119.60 | coconut-soy blend |
| Soy Pillar Wax | ₹600.00 | ₹110.40 | ₹110.40 | 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 |
In a 200 g candle, the fragrance oil can cost more than the wax
Most makers compare waxes line by line and pick oils by scent alone. At 200 g that is the wrong way round. The oil in a 200 g candle is only 16 g, but it can cost as much as the 184 g of wax beside it, and sometimes more.
Put the oil on the same sheet as the wax
Work the oil the same way you work the wax: grams in the candle × price per gram. Sandalwood at ₹5,026.80 per kilogram gives 16 × 5.0268, about 80 rupees of oil per candle, close to the ₹93.36 of CSI 464 wax. Dark Vanilla at ₹7,646.00 per kilogram gives 16 × 7.646, about 122 rupees, more than any soy wax on this page except Premium Coconut Soy Wax at ₹169.28. Citrus Lemon at ₹2,832.00 gives 16 × 2.832, about 45 rupees.
Now compare the spreads. The six waxes in the table, from ₹73.42 of Eco Soy CSI 400 to ₹117.21 of CSI 468, spans about 44 rupees. Choosing Dark Vanilla over Citrus Lemon spans about 77. The scent you choose moves your cost per candle more than the wax you choose.
What that means for pricing a range
If every 200 g candle in your range sells at one price, your margin varies by scent, not only by wax. A vanilla candle and a lemon candle in the same jar and wax can differ by more than the gap between your cheapest and your dearest wax. Some makers price by scent family for this reason. Others keep one price and accept thinner margins on the expensive oils. Either is fine, as long as you have done the sum.
Lowering fragrance to save money
Dropping the load below 8% cuts oil cost, but it also weakens throw, which is usually what the customer is paying for. Test a lower load before relying on it, and keep the stated range of each oil in view: Lavender, Citrus Lemon and Dark Vanilla state 6–10% in candles.

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.
