A fully integrated budget that thinks like a producer.
This isn’t just a spreadsheet—it’s a pre-built system designed to take the guesswork out of budgeting your film. With built-in formulas, linked cells, and flexible line items across every major department, you can plug in your numbers and let the sheet do the work. Crew rates auto-calculate, categories auto-total, and you’ll get a clear picture of your project’s bottom line without doing the math yourself.
Includes:
• Department-by-department breakdowns (cast, crew, equipment, post, etc.)
• Built-in formulas that auto-calculate totals, taxes, and contingency
• Linked line items to prevent over/under-spending
• Optional columns for notes, quotes, and vendor comparisons
• Bonus: Estimated rate chart for key crew positions
📂 Format: Google Sheets + Excel
Best For:
Indie Producers
Production Managers
Directors who want clarity and control
Creators moving from “scrappy” to structured
🎯 Why it works:
This is the exact template we use on real productions. It’s clean, professional, and powerful—but incredibly easy to use. Perfect for anyone who doesn’t want to spend hours building a budget from scratch.
Once purchased, you'll receive a secure download link via email. The file includes:
A fully editable Google Sheets version (with setup instructions)
A downloadable Excel version (.xlsx)
A PDF one-sheet explaining how to use the template effectively
