production budgets
Manufacturing cost plans
Production budgets are financial plans estimating the costs of manufacturing goods or creating media content.
In manufacturing, they forecast expenses for materials, labor, and overhead needed to meet production targets.
In film and television, a production budget covers everything required to shoot—cast, crew, locations, equipment, sets: The production budget ballooned after they added CGI sequences.
Distinguished from marketing or distribution budgets, which come later.
