Wickometry: Candle Costing

Turn every pour into a priced, traceable batch. Scale formulas, capture yield and burn evidence, and know your margin before the wax melts.

Know what every candle costs before the wax melts.

Wickometry is a precision studio for candle makers who want repeatable formulas, confident pricing, and a clear production trail. Scale a tested recipe to any batch size and see the wax, fragrance, staged materials, true unit cost, retail target, wholesale target, and margin before you pour.

BUILD A REAL MATERIAL LIBRARY Record waxes, fragrance oils, vessels, wicks, packaging, and other staged costs from supplier package prices and quantities.

SCALE WITHOUT GUESSWORK Choose a recipe and candle count. Wickometry uses decimal-first calculations to preserve precision while presenting practical gram and money values for the bench.

PRICE THE WHOLE POUR Include materials, waste, labor, overhead, payment fees, and target margin. Compare retail and wholesale scenarios without losing the formula behind the calculation.

KEEP PRODUCTION EVIDENCE Save a frozen batch snapshot with planned quantity, actual yield, waste, notes, cure date, first-test date, and an optional pour photo. Record controlled burn observations including elapsed time, melt pool, flame behavior, hot throw, soot, notes, and a test photo.

STAY READY FOR THE NEXT BATCH Schedule local cure and burn-test reminders, review batch history, and keep working offline. When iCloud is available, the local-first studio can synchronize through your private Apple CloudKit container.

WICKOMETRY PRO The free tier supports two recipes and five materials. Pro unlocks unlimited recipes and materials, professional cost controls, wholesale pricing, margin insights, and CSV/PDF export. Choose monthly, annual, or lifetime access. No introductory trial is offered. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period and can be managed in your Apple Account. Purchases can be restored in the app.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN No ads, no third-party analytics SDK, and no Wickometry account. Your studio data is stored locally and may sync through your private iCloud account.

Important: Wickometry is a planning and recordkeeping tool. It does not certify a candle formula or replace current supplier guidance, safety testing, or controlled burn testing before sale or use.
