Dilution Calculator for Perfumery & Botanical Ingredients

Calculate dilutions for essential oils, CO2 extracts, absolutes, resins, and waxes/butters in seconds. Enter your final batch size, add multiple active ingredients, and instantly get the exact amount for each one—plus the remaining base.

Choose your method:

  • Volume Mode (mL / fl oz): quick and convenient for droppers.
  • Weight Mode (g / oz wt): recommended for accuracy—especially for thick extracts, absolutes, resins, and waxes.
Dilution Calculator
Choose Volume (mL / fl oz) or Weight (g / oz wt). Add one or more active ingredients as % of final.
Volume mode is volume-based (great for droppers). For best precision, use Weight mode with a scale.
Active ingredients
Add as many as you like. Each % is of the final formula.
Active ingredient % of final Action

Component Amount Secondary drops (approx)
Note: Drop counts vary by dropper and viscosity. Use a scale for precision whenever possible.

Supported ingredient types

Use this calculator with:

  • Essential oils (EOs)
  • CO2 extracts (including thick and viscous extracts)
  • Absolutes & resinoids
  • Natural isolates and aroma chemicals
  • Waxes & butters
  • Pre-made blends (treated as one active at a chosen %)

FAQ Dilution Calculator for Perfumery & Botanical Ingredients

This calculator works for any ingredient you want to dose as a percent of the final formula, including essential oils, CO2 extracts, absolutes, resinoids, isolates, aroma chemicals, waxes, and butters.

Yes. Add each CO2 extract or absolute as its own active ingredient and enter the desired percent of the final formula. Weight mode (g/oz wt) is recommended for thick and viscous extracts.

Yes. Use Weight mode (g/oz wt) to measure waxes and butters accurately. These materials are often semi-solid and are best handled by weight.

Volume mode (mL/fl oz) is convenient for droppers and quick blending. Weight mode (g/oz wt) is more accurate and repeatable, especially for thick and viscous materials.

Yes. You can add as many active ingredients as you want. Each one is entered as a percent of the final formula, and the calculator will show the amount for each plus the base remainder.

Base / remainder is whatever completes the formula to 100% after all active ingredients are calculated (for example: carrier oil, alcohol, or another diluent).

Drops are an estimate because droppers and viscosities vary. For best accuracy, use Weight mode with a scale.

No. This tool performs calculations only. Always follow your own safety guidelines and any usage limits recommended for your ingredients and intended application.
