Toolkit
Tools for people who make things in small batches
Costing is only half the job. These are the everyday calculations that sit between a formula and a finished, priced product.
Weight ↔ volume converter
Convert grams to millilitres for waxes, butters, carrier oils, fragrance oils and solvents using a curated density library — because 100 ml of soy wax is not 100 g.
Batch portion calculator
Scale a saved recipe to any batch size, or resolve a percentage formula into exact gram weights for the mould or vessel count you actually have.
Recipe cost calculator
The core tool: build a recipe line by line and get per-unit COGS, GST-aware pricing and suggested MRP at 30/40/50/60% margin, saved to your library.
Moodboards
Collect product inspiration from uploads, links or Pinterest, then get AI suggestions for product directions and ingredient palettes.
Why unit conversion matters in craft production
Suppliers sell in litres, recipes are written in percentages, and moulds are sized by volume — but almost every craft formula has to be executed by weight. Guessing the conversion is how a fragrance load ends up at 11% instead of 8%, which is both a performance problem and a silent cost increase of hundreds of rupees per batch. The converter uses per-ingredient densities rather than a single water-based assumption.
Scaling without re-deriving the formula
Doubling a recipe is easy; fitting a recipe to 17 available jars is not. The batch tool works both ways — scale from a known batch to a target unit count, or start from a percentage formula and a target total weight and get the gram weight of every line.
From tool to priced product
Once the quantities are right, run them through the cost calculator to get per-unit cost and suggested MRP. If you are new to pricing handmade goods, start with the pricing guide, then see worked examples for candles and soap.
