Production budget is a term used specifically in film production and, more generally, in business.

A "film production budget" determines how much will be spent on the entire film project. This involves identifying the elements and then estimating their cost, for each phase of filmmaking ( development, pre-production, production, post-production and distribution). The budget structure normally separates " above-the-line" (creative), and " below-the-line" (technical) costs.

In business, "production budget" refers to the budget set by a corporation for the number of units of a product that will be required and produced; ^[1] see demand forecasting, capacity planning and Revenue management § Forecasting; and financial forecast more generally.
