Real per-episode and season-level costs, both — not one spreadsheet pretending to be the other.
Budgeting a series in a single-project tool means picking a lie to live with: treat every cost as season-long and your per-episode economics are wrong, or treat everything as per-episode and you lose the season-level picture entirely.
This tool does both, at once. A season-level estimate and a real per-episode grid coexist rather than compete — you see the whole season’s number and every episode’s own number, together. Episode count is a first-class variable throughout.
It reuses the film budget builder’s real, sourced union rate data — not a separate, invented set — and evaluates the Micro-Budget SAG-AFTRA cap the way it actually works: per episode, not per season, a detail that’s easy to miss and expensive to get wrong.
