The First Pour 5 min

66 calculators, zero guesswork

Craft-specific math with the assumptions in the open: what runs where, how results become recipes, and what the numbers do and do not claim.

Every craft carries its own calculators - lye and water discount for soap, fragrance load, cure time, batch scaling, cost per unit - plus shared tools that work everywhere. In the workshop they live in the top bar and inside the recipe editor; the public versions on the site run the same math.

The one everyone uses first

Batch scaling: your recipe makes 12, you need 30. The scaler gives the multiplier and the recipe page applies it to every line, including cost.
Scale a batchTry it

Scale every line by

× 2.50

Each ingredient amount times 2.50 - cost scales with it.

Recipe yield and what you need - the multiplier every line gets.

Honest math, visible assumptions

Calculator results show their inputs and assumptions in the open - a saponification value, an assumed density, a typical range - so you can check the work, not just trust it. Where a calculator touches safety (lye above all), the numbers are a starting point for your own verified process, never a substitute for it.

From calculation to recipe

Formula-producing calculators run inside the recipe editor, so the result lands as recipe lines with live costs - not as a screenshot you re-type later. The public site's calculators link into the workshop where saving needs an account.
