Know if your candles
are actually profitable.

Soy wax, fragrance oil, wicks, vessels, labels. Your cost per candle is more than most people realize. venq calculates it from your actual ingredient costs and shows your real profit at every market.

Built around how candle businesses actually work

Fragrance oil prices change. Your COGS should too.

When you reorder fragrance at a different price, log the purchase in venq and your cost per candle recalculates instantly across every product that uses it. No spreadsheet updates, no manual math.

Track wax, fragrance, wicks, and vessels separately.

Build a recipe for each candle with your exact pour weight, fragrance load, and packaging. venq knows the cost of each ingredient and adds it all up per unit.

Know your margin before you set a price.

If your 8 oz soy candle costs $4.20 to make and you charge $18, you have a 77% margin. If booth fees and travel eat into that, venq shows exactly what you actually took home.
