Production budget

A budget that follows your decisions.

The budget is the document your financiers read. Soldum builds it from the breakdown, sorts it by category, sets the estimate against the actuals and flags overruns as they appear. Every production decision is reflected in it immediately.

  • Categories and union rate cards built in
  • Estimate against actuals, alert before overrun
  • Fees and contracts attached to budget lines
  • Excel and PDF export in the expected format

01

Every line in its place, every euro in its category

Lines are generated from the breakdown then sorted by category. The gauge compares the estimated budget to what is available, and actual spend is tracked alongside, with no double entry.

  • Breakdown by category with each section's share
  • Budget versions (draft, approved) kept in history
  • Estimated tax credit from eligible lines

Facing the cost, the financing plan

The budget gives the cost of the film; the financing plan tracks what covers it, source by source, from application to award. The gap between the two is displayed at all times.

  • Public funds, regions, pre-sales and guaranteed minimums
  • Considered / Submitted / Awarded statuses and committee dates
  • Export in the format your partners expect

Frequently asked questions

Which budget format does Soldum use?

+

Lines follow the French CNC budget categories, and the Excel export keeps that format, financing plan included. It is the standard expected by French financiers.

Where do the estimated amounts come from?

+

From the breakdown: number of days, sets, equipment, extras — then from the rate cards and fees entered in casting and crew. Every line stays editable.

Can I track actual spend?

+

Yes, every line accepts an actual amount. The gauge compares actuals to the available budget and an alert fires before the overrun.

Is the tax credit calculated?

+

An indicative estimate is offered from the eligible lines. It should be confirmed with your accountant.

The breakdown of your first project is free: you see your own scenes, then the budget that follows from them.
