Hello. I must together a film budget for this grant I'm applying for. Is there a free budgeting software for films specifically on Windows? I'm estimating that the film will cost between 10k and 20k. Thanks!
Free budgeting software?

Well, I was not able to find a free one. Check out this article. It'll give you a better idea on budgeting.

What about spreadsheets? If you don't have Office, you can use Google Spreadsheets. I imagine they are more commonly used than any dedicated program, but perhaps I'm wrong.
By the way, to know what you should be budgeting for, I recommend The Film Production Handbook. I suggest creating several different budgets depending on financing levels--one for 5k, 10k, 12k and 100k. You get the picture.

If you have MS Office, there are templates for Excel for making movie budgets.
You can do a Google search for them.
I got templates passed on down to me from friends. And, I choked up the $600 for MM Scheduling and the $600 for MM Budgeting a good 10 years ago. That's why I'm concern about tags with Final Draft to import the data from Final Draft in MM scheduling.
