Pourwick: Candle Calculator

Every candle comes down to a few numbers: how much wax to melt for the vessel, how much fragrance the wax can actually hold, what the batch costs, and when it will be cured enough to burn. Pourwick is a candle-making calculator that keeps those numbers in one place instead of a spreadsheet or a slow supplier site.

Size a pour by container volume or by the water-weight method, pick from the common wax types such as soy, coconut, paraffin, beeswax, palm, and the usual blends, and it returns wax weight, fragrance weight, and total pour weight. It flags a fragrance load the wax probably cannot carry and gives a wick-size starting point from the vessel diameter.

If you sell or gift what you pour, it handles the rest. You get material cost per candle, a suggested price from your markup, margin and batch profit, and a Batch Plan that turns a recipe into a production ticket with staging totals, a cure-ready date, wick counts, and burn-test checkpoints you can share.

Pourwick works fully offline with no account, no ads, and no in-app purchases. It is a planning aid rather than a replacement for testing, so follow your supplier's data sheets and burn-test a new recipe before selling or gifting it.
