SCREEN AUSTRALIA A-Z BUDGET - ANIMATION
Version 3.3 January 2015
INTRODUCTION AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Welcome to the updated ANIMATION Excel Budget Template.
This is a base format - add, delete or amend categories and line items as required by your project, however please be aware that you may
affect formulas in the budget if you do so. So as a precaution, always work from the 'formula bar' at the top of the spreasheet
A reasonable knowledge of EXCEL is required to complete the budget.
DISCLAIMER
SCREEN AUSTRALIA has taken great care to ensure that the formulas in this budget are correct. However, as the formulas
are not locked, errors can occur when numbers are entered to override formulas and/or when lines are added or subtracted.
SCREEN AUSTRALIA can take no responsibility for the accuracy of your budget. Please check each line where you have
entered figures and ensure the accuracy of the sub totals and totals lines and columns.
Helpful Excel Instructions:
If inserting or deleting rows, ensure you do whole rows by selecting the row numbers down the left hand column of the page otherwise the rest of
the worksheet will move out of alignment.
If deleting a category, you will also need to delete its line in the Summary worksheet as #ref will appear on the workbook and negate the formulas
If adding a category, you will also need to add a line for it in the summary sheet and link the formula.
To link a formula, go to the cell in the summary sheet, hit 'equals' then switch to the detailed budget, select the cell to be copied and hit 'enter'.
Same process to link between budget and worksheets.
Do not delete columns. Column A of the Budget has been left blank to use for a Code reference if required.
To print onto one sheet, ( portrait or landscape) as formatted, change the scaling percentage: File - Page Setup - Page - Scaling - adjust to ..%
(for each affected worksheet)
To change the viewing size of the document (if you find the font too small for working on): View - Zoom - Custom - 120% or as required
Budget font style is Arial Narrow -Size 9
If you prefer that the zero values do not appear on the budget you should do the following: Tools - Options - View at the bottom of the box
under Window options, delete the tick for displaying the Zero Values.

Fringes (should be calculated on both PAYG and ABN staff)
Crew & Cast Fringes are the expenses associated with employment. For a budget assume that at least 80% of your crew and cast are
employees (PAYG or ABN). By law the nature of the relationship that you have with them is that of an employer rather than a
contractor. If a crew member is contracted through a Pty Ltd company fringes are usually not payable but they may want to
negotiate a higher fee that compensates them for holiday pay and superannuation so at the budgeting stage you could even assume
fringes on all crew and cast.
Holiday Pay Payable to any crew member employed on a weekly basis. Per the award it is one-twelfth of the contracted wage or 8.33%,
representing a pro-rata payment of four weeks annual holiday. For Cast refer BNF calculations. For preliminary budgeting include
calculation on overtime estimates.
Super- A percentage set by Federal Superannuation Guarantee legislation and payable on the contracted wage and allowances of any
annuation employee who earns in excess of $450 per month. It is not paid on Holiday Pay or overtime. At the time of budgeting check the rate
that may be expected to be current when you expect to go into production. As at July 2013 the rate is 9.25% for crew and10% for
cast. The rate will increase again on 1 July 2014 to 9.5%
Payroll Tax & The rates for both payroll tax and workers compensation are determined by each State so check the rates appropriate to the
Workers State in which you expect to shoot, as they will apply at the time that you expect to go into production. They may be calculated on
Comp. the contracted wage plus Holiday Pay, Overtime, Superannuation and allowances including per diems, kilometerage and vehicle
allowances. These inclusions vary from State to State.
Payroll tax is payable when the Company Payroll exceed a nominated threshold per month. This threshold varies from State to
State. If your budget is tight include a credit or negative cost in the budget for the appropriate threshold x the number of months from
employment of the first person to termination of the last person. If the film is to be produced by an existing production company, that
threshold or part thereof may be used already, in which case the production can not take the full credit.
NB. Workers Compensation estimates are included in Fringes Category D, not with Insurances Category O.
Please refer to MEAA and SPAA for current Crew and Cast rates and agreements before completing the budget
G.S.T
No matter how small the budget every film maker is advised to register the entity through which they produce their film for GST. In all likelihood they
would be legally required to register. Once registered you may claim back all the GST that has been included in payments made. This being the
case always budget the production expenses net of GST.
Invariably the funding that you achieve for your film is considered a taxable supply and you are required to invoice the funding body, network,
distributor etc for your cashflow + GST. This is not a reason to put a line in the budget for GST
Do not include GST in your budget. GST will be dealt with contractually and by invoice
