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.
About Pourwick
Pourwick is a candle maker's offline workshop calculator for planning pours, fragrance loads, costs, recipes, and production batches without a slow website or spreadsheet.
Get the numbers that make or break a candle: how much wax to melt, how much fragrance to add, what the batch costs, when it is ready after curing, and what to check before you sell, gift, or scale the recipe.
Version 1.2 adds Batch Plan, a production ticket for makers who pour more than one candle at a time. Choose a pour date and overage percentage, then Pourwick builds a shareable worksheet with material staging totals, cure-ready date, wick prep count, label notes, warnings, and QC checkpoints.
WAX & FRAGRANCE, MEASURED RIGHT
• Size a pour by container volume or the maker's water-weight method.
• Includes soy, coconut-soy, coconut, paraffin, parasoy, beeswax, palm, and gel wax profiles.
• Calculates wax weight, fragrance-oil weight, total pour weight, and batch totals.
• Supports fragrance load as percentage of wax or total weight.
• Flags fragrance loads above the wax's typical capacity.
• Gives a wick-size starting point from vessel diameter.
BATCH PLAN
• Build a production ticket from the current recipe.
• Add workshop overage for spills, pour pots, and scale loss.
• See wax, fragrance, total pour weight, wicks, cost, and projected profit.
• Get a cure-ready date based on the wax profile.
• Follow pre-warm, melt, fragrance, pour, cure, and burn-test checkpoints.
• Copy or share the batch ticket with your notes or production log.

Pourwick is a planning aid, not a substitute for testing. Densities, fragrance capacities, temperatures, and cure windows are typical values that vary by brand and blend. Always follow supplier technical data sheets, IFRA limits, warning-label requirements, and burn-test every new recipe before selling or gifting a candle.
