Soap Calculator

This calculator will help you figure out how much of lye (NaOH or KOH) needed in your soap making be it cold process soap, hot process soap or liquid soap. Its very simple. Simply choose wether you want to make solid or liquid soap, the final oil needed in your recipe, the percentage of oils and butter in the soap, and finally it will show you the amount of lye and water needed.

*Please note that this calculator is meant only for those oils and butters from Soap Lab Malaysia. You are welcomed to use this calculator even if you got the oils and butters elsewhere however the SAP value will probably not be the same therefore there will be some errors.
