The arithmetic every shoot runs on — overtime tiers, page eighths, pages-per-day — as instant calculators. Free, no signup.
Day rates and hourly rates through the standard 8/1.5x/12/2x film OT structure — instant pay breakdowns.
Paste scene lengths (2 2/8 style) to total pages in eighths and estimate shoot days.
Script pages + genre pages-per-day presets → shoot days and calendar weeks.
The crew overtime calculator answers the end-of-day question — what does a 14-hour day actually cost per person? It runs a day rate or hourly rate through the standard film OT structure (straight time to 8, 1.5× to 12, 2× after), the same math Production Slate’s timesheets and payroll apply automatically at wrap.
The script eighths calculator totals scene lengths written the industry way (2 2/8 pages) — the unit explained in what is an eighth of a page — and turns the total into a first shoot-day estimate.
The shooting schedule calculator goes the other direction: total page count plus a realistic pages-per-day preset for your genre gives shoot days and calendar weeks — the sanity check to run before building the stripboard in earnest.
