What it helps you decide
Plan sellable units, process loss, and case packs.
Free packaging planner
Know how many finished units a batch will actually fill.
Plan jars, bottles, pouches, bars, candles, or any other filled unit with a realistic loss allowance—and work backward from a target order when needed.
Start with the example
The values already filled in are a working example—not a recommendation.

Batch inputs
Plan the fill run
Use the same unit for the total batch and fill amount. Include transfer, bowl, line, and trimming loss in the process-loss estimate.
Why it helps
Stop planning from the theoretical batch alone.
A little product stays in kettles, mixing bowls, piping bags, fillers, molds, and transfer containers. Planning with an explicit loss percentage gives purchasing, packaging, and promised order quantities a more realistic starting point.

About this free formulation & batching tool
How to use the Batch Yield & Fill Calculator
Plan sellable units, process loss, and case packs. The calculator runs privately in your browser and is designed to make the assumptions behind the answer visible.
What to have ready
Start with a tested baseline formula, measured weights, the unit used by the full batch, and your actual finished yield or process loss.
How to use the result
Treat the output as a controlled batch draft. Record the assumptions, run a small test, and approve the result only after checking quality and safety.

Batch production and records
A production record is the story of one batch: what you planned, what you used, what happened, and how much good product came out.
