Candle pricing, made practical
Start with one candle. Leave with a price you trust.
CandleMargin helps you turn real costs, selling fees, and a target margin into a practical price. Start with one product, check the result, and adjust the numbers until the candle works for you and your customer.
The best first session
Choose one candle you already make or plan to sell.
Enter the real costs for materials, packaging, labor, and selling fees.
Compare your current price with the suggested price and expected profit.
Adjust your costs, margin, or sales channel until the numbers make sense.
What to include
Use the costs you actually pay for wax, fragrance, vessels, wicks, labels, packaging, labor, and selling fees. Small missing costs add up quickly across a batch.
What the result means
Your suggested price covers the costs you entered, estimated selling fees, and your target margin. Change any assumption to see how it affects the price and profit.
When to use the workbook
The free calculators are ideal for quick checks. Use the $11 workbook when you need consistent pricing across products, channels, batches, events, and wholesale orders.
A simple pricing workflow
Price one product before trying to model your whole candle line.
Use landed supply costs, including shipping and handling.
Test the sales channel you actually use because fees change the result.
Recheck your prices whenever supply, packaging, or platform costs change.
Pricing habits worth keeping
Use real supply costs, including shipping, instead of optimistic estimates.
Treat labor as a cost even if the maker is doing the work personally.
Start with the price calculator, then use batch and wholesale calculators for specific sales channels.
Keep the offer simple: the free tools solve the immediate problem; the kit makes the workflow repeatable.
