None, actually. It’s a chemical reaction which means all mass is preserved.

- dheera 6y agoNo, actually, very very little, not zero. The candle (summed with its gas emissions) loses mass equal to the relativistic mass of the photons emitted. For something like a candle it's an undetectably small amount but it's not zero.
