A worked example
12 × 216 g with 5% extra = 2,721.6 g of mixture: 2,520 g wax and 201.6 g fragrance at 8%.
Batch planner
Scale a measured fill weight to a whole batch, with an explicit extra allowance for material left in the pitcher.
YOUR LITTLE WORKBENCH
Batch planner
Start with the example, then make it your own. Results update as you type.
How this is calculated
Mix weight = fill per candle × count × (1 + extra ÷ 100). Split that weight using the wax-based fragrance load.
YOUR PLAN / LIVE RESULT

- Fragrance to prepare
- 201.6 g
- Combined mixture

- Fragrance / combined weight

The allowance increases both materials proportionally; it does not increase the target fill per candle. It is a planning allowance, not an extra fragrance percentage.
THE METHOD / 01
