Kanji 作 make, production, prepare Related words 予算 means 'budget' in general and covers planned spending of any kind, while 制作費 refers specifically to the money spent on producing media content.
費用 is a broad word for 'cost' or 'expense' in any context, whereas 制作費 narrows this to the cost of creating a film, show, or similar work.
Don't confuse with 制作費 and 製作費 share the same reading and both mean 'production cost', but 制作費 is used for creative media (films, TV, games) while 製作費 leans toward manufacturing or physical goods.
Etymology Compound of 制作 (production, creation) and 費 (cost, expense). The kanji 制 implies regulation or system, while 作 means make; together they suggest systematic creation, fitting for media production.
