production budget
Project spending cap
A production budget is the estimated cost of making something—typically a film, television show, or theatrical production.
It covers expenses like sets, costumes, crew salaries, and equipment, but excludes marketing and distribution costs.
A film's production budget often determines its scale and ambition: The production budget was $50 million, modest by blockbuster standards.
In manufacturing or business contexts, a production budget forecasts the units to be produced and their associated costs for a given period.
