* Note for Producer Offset applicants: a new version of the A-Z feature and the documentary budgets are now available, giving you an indication of the QAPE (Qualifying Australian Production Expenditure) status of your budget line items.

The industry standard A-Z Budgets are intended as a guide to preparing budgets in the format that is usually required by funding bodies.

There are separate budgets for feature films, short films, documentaries, interactive digital media and animation.

The downloadable Excel spreadsheets are suitable for both PC and Macintosh users.

See also A-Z Budget Frequently Asked Questions and AFC Budget Requirements for Production Investment.

The AFC has taken great care to ensure that the formulas in the budgets are correct. However, we acknowledge that as people use the budgets, they will pick up formula errors.

Whenever errors are discovered, we will publish them - please check Updates & Corrections regularly.

If you wish us to inform you of any errors/corrections, please email a-zbudget@afc.gov.au
Let us know which budget you have downloaded and we will email you whenever changes occur.
