Detailed Budget

Line-item budgeting — quantity, units, and rate roll up to account subtotals and a grand total.

Who It's For

  • Line producers and UPMs building the real number.
  • Producers who need defensible, itemized costs.
  • Anyone turning a top sheet into a working budget.

What It's For

  • Breaks each account into detailed line items.
  • Multiplies quantity × units × rate automatically.
  • Rolls line items into account and film totals.
