Exporting Your Budget

TL;DR — Click the Export PDF button to download a formatted budget document with department breakdowns and grand total.

Exporting as PDF

1 Open the Budget tab in your project.
2 Click Export PDF in the toolbar.
3 A formatted PDF downloads with your project name, all departments, line items, subtotals, and the grand total.

The exported PDF includes:

Project title and export date
Each department with its number, name, and subtotal
All line items showing description, quantity, unit cost, multiplier, allowance, and line total
The grand total at the bottom

Before exporting, take a moment to:

Check for any smart suggestions you haven’t accepted yet — these won’t appear in the PDF.
Verify multipliers match your latest schedule (shoot day counts update when the schedule changes).
Review allowance percentages — typical production budgets use 5–15% contingency.

Export regularly — save a PDF snapshot each time you make significant changes, so you have a paper trail of budget revisions.
Use allowances consistently — apply the same contingency percentage across similar departments for a uniform budget.
Update after schedule changes — if shoot days change, verify your multipliers still make sense.
Share the PDF with producers, investors, or financiers for budget approval and funding discussions.
