If you make soap, you know that math isn't optional. Getting your oils, water, and lye amounts right makes the difference between a good batch and a ruined one. The Problem That Started Everything A few weeks ago, I was ready to make a batch of soap. As usual I opened SoapCalc to enter my recipe, after calculating when I pressed on 'view recipe' I got redirected to an empty page. After several tries I realized, SoapCalc was down.

When planning your soap batches, calculating the right amounts of oils, lye, and water is essential for perfect saponification. Whether you’re using a standard rectangular mold or an irregularly shaped one, precise measurements are crucial. In this guide, I’ll walk you through three proven methods to calculate your batter-mold with step-by-step examples: Method 1: Measure your rectangular or square mold by its dimensions. Method 2: Use water displacement for odd-shaped molds. Method 3: Base your calculations on the number of soap bars you want to produce.
