Micro-Budget
Film Budget Builder
It doesn’t just calculate your budget. It helps you build it.
A full single-feature budget with real 2026 SAG-AFTRA tiers — Micro-Budget, Student Film, SPA, UPA, MPA, LBA, and New Media (Deferred) — each explained right where you fill it in, not buried in a manual.
Pick a tier your project doesn’t actually qualify for and it warns you immediately, not after you’ve built a whole budget on the wrong assumption. Every number is color-coded so you always know where it came from — a starting suggestion, something you entered, or a real union minimum.
A financier-ready Top Sheet, an Actuals tab to track real spend once you’re shooting, and a Resources tab with real vendors and marketplaces — grouped to match your budget — for every placeholder line you still need to price out.
Verified to recalculate identically in Excel, Google Sheets, and Apple Numbers. Your co-producer doesn’t have to use your software.
