Crafting candles can serve as both an enjoyable pastime and lucrative venture. The beauty of this business lies in its diverse range of sales channels, which are not available to other industries. However, how much profit does one actually earn from making candles? What is the potential revenue generated by selling them?

On average, candle makers make approximately $50,000 annually; with those at the lower end earning less than $25k while top earners bring home over $100k per year. These figures depend on factors such as quantity sold and price point.

The profitability varies based on several aspects including types produced or volume manufactured along with marketing tactics employed but creating candles has proven to be financially rewarding nonetheless.
