After I calculate my recipe in soapcalc, is there a place that displays the total weight the soap will be when poured? Brambleberry's Lye calculator displays this information as Yields.
 
Believe it or not when I use soapcalc I take the results of the oils required and multiply by 1.5 and that gets me real close to total yield.

Most of my batches are 132 oz. of oil/butter. Times 1.5 yields 198 ozs. in the mold. I get 32 bars from a loaf, so 198 divided by 32 yields bars of 6.2 oz. I then figure about 10% loss from evaporation and I end up with about 5.5 oz. bars.
