How it works
- Total batch weight = × × (1 + / 100); Wax required = Total batch weight / (1 + / 100)
- Worked example: 6 × 200 g = 1,200 g; 1,200 / 1.08 ≈ 1,111.11111111 g; Fragrance required ≈ 88.88888889 g

Assumptions and limitations
Fill weight is the finished wax-plus-fragrance mass in grams, excluding jar and wick. Fragrance percentage is relative to wax mass, not total batch mass. Batch allowance increases both ingredients in proportion. Enter the load permitted by your wax/fragrance specifications; the numerical 0–100% range is not a recommended or safe load. No jar volume-to-weight density, wick selection, heating, curing or burn-test conclusion is inferred.
