BoilerPlate Film TV Budgeting Features

Budgeting for Film, television, and video projects

BoilerPlate is designed for budgeting full length feature films, television projects, documentaries, commercials, and music videos.

Industry Categories with Detail of Accounts

Where necessary, all industry standard categories and accounts are expanded and fully-detailed so there is no mystery where the budgeted amounts are being spent.

Global Entries

Change your entire budget instantly. Change production header information, fringes, payroll taxes and sales tax rates. Change your shooting period (days) and see how your total budget is affected instantly.

Automatic Fringes and Taxes

Fringes, payroll and sales tax are computed instantly to the appropriate accounts. If fringes and taxes do not apply you can simply delete them from the entire budget with a simple push of a button in Globals page.

Instant Calculation

When you make a change, the budget totals are recalculated instantly. Actual costs, including fringes and taxes, are always reflected automatically in the totals of the budgeted amounts.

Cash Flow Sheets with built-in Accounting of Expenses Templates

Input your costs for every production period to control your budget. Cash Flow Totals for the development, pre-production, production and post-production periods are linked to your Summary Top Sheet in the Total Accumulated Cost to Date column allowing for quick and easy monitoring of costs to date, and the amount of the remaining budget. Know how much money is spent and how much is left.

Automatic Reports and Lists

Your Summary Top Sheet, Cast List, Extras & Atmosphere List, Property List and Location List are automatically generated upon completion of your budget worksheets.

Quick and Easy Access to all your Budget Worksheets (Never get lost again!)

When working on a large document like a film and television budget, having quick access to desired budget accounts and worksheets will save you time and frustration.

BoilerPlate gives you different ways to access your budgeting worksheets. One of BoilerPlate's unique ways allows you to instantly go to a specific category account while reviewing the Summary Top Sheet.

Want to make a budget adjustment in a category as you review the Top Sheet? Just click the "GOTO" button on the category line you are reviewing and go instantly to that worksheet. Another great feature that will save you time and frustration!
