With earlier seasons recording a budget as low as a few thousand dollars per episode, and to the later seasons with a budget of around two million per episode, the show is overall one of the most low-budget series on TV.

Per episode cost runs at approximately $2 million toR$2.2 million an episode. While Supernatural does get tax breaks for filming in Vancouver, just like in 2009 the strong Canadian dollar against the US dollar has all but wiped out any savings with exchange rates.
