Example Tables of Indicative Allowances

Below are examples of the range of investment a production could budget in each of the five areas outlined in this resource.

However, to reiterate, this resource and example is a guide to what is out there and is there to help a production “pick ‘n’ mix” the level of support that it feels that it is appropriate to put in place.  

In order to give a guide on calculation we have included free and generic support in the totals, with bespoke services sitting outside of the total below.  

With this in mind, throughout the resource, sections are broken down into three subcategories:

  1. Included in all the totals below (as they are free or can be accessed when paying into the HETV Skills Fund). 

  2. Included based on a 10-week shoot (for ease of calculation). These will vary due to duration of the production. Some costs in cells will incur additional costs in relation to payroll, National Insurance (NI) and tax. 

  3. Support with no range of costs as they are bespoke services.

In addition, consideration might be made in a budget of an additional amount to cover decarbonisation/insetting/offsetting.

**Amounts below are for guidance only based upon a broad range of rates that are either advertised publicly or informed by previous projects and are quotes obtained during the creation of this resource. Companies should independently assess what level of support is appropriate to their production and independently negotiate rates with suppliers.**
