Enter the change in weight of the candle (oz) and the total burn time (hrs) into the Calculator. The calculator will evaluate the Candle Burn Rate. 

Candle Burn Rate Formula

CBR = CW / BT

Variables:

  • CBR is the Candle Burn Rate (oz/hr)
  • CW is the change in weight of the candle (oz)
  • BT is the total burn time (hrs)

To calculate Candle Burn Rate, divide the change in weight of the candle by the total burn time.

How to Calculate Candle Burn Rate?

The following steps outline how to calculate the Candle Burn Rate.

  1. First, determine the change in weight of the candle (oz). 
  2. Next, determine the total burn time (hrs). 
  3. Next, gather the formula from above = CBR = CW / BT.
  4. Finally, calculate the Candle Burn Rate.
  5. After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.

Example Problem : 

Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.

change in weight of the candle (oz) = 5

total burn time (hrs) = 2
