Batch Yield Calculator by Wixy Soap
Easily estimate how many soap bars your batch will produce by entering your total batch weight, preferred bar weight or mold dimensions, and optional water loss during curing. Designed with beginners and small business owners in mind, this tool is perfect for planning batches for markets, workshops, or personal use. It uses grams and centimeters aligning with Canadian soap making standards and trusted suppliers like Voyageur Soap & Candle and complements your existing tools.
Batch Yield Calculator
Features
- Total Batch Weight: Enter the total weight (g) from your recipe (e.g., oils + lye + water + additives from the lye calculator).
- Individual Components: Enter weights for oils, lye, water, and additives separately (useful if scaling recipes).
- Water Loss: Default is 15% (typical for cold process soap after 4-6 weeks curing). Adjust if your recipe or curing time differs (e.g., 10% for shorter cures, 20% for longer).
- Bar Weight: Enter desired bar weight (e.g., 100 g for standard bars, 150 g for luxury bars).
- Mold Dimensions: Choose a mold shape (square, rectangle, half-circle, half-oval) and enter dimensions (cm). Uses specific gravity (default 1.08 g/cm³) to calculate bar weight.
- Calculate: Outputs the number of whole bars, cured batch weight, weight per bar, and remaining weight for partial bars.
- Links to the lye calculator for recipe inputs and the mold calculator for mold-based sizing.
