About Training Cost Calculator
Training Cost Calculator is used to estimate the total GPU compute cost of training or fine-tuning an LLM based on model size, dataset size, and hardware configuration. It works by: it estimates GPU-hours using the Chinchilla scaling law approximation and multiplies by your GPU cost per hour to compute total training cost. Fine-tuning with LoRA or QLoRA requires 10-100x less compute than full fine-tuning and achieves comparable results for most domain adaptation tasks — start there before full fine-tuning. Training Cost Calculator runs free in your browser at abovetool.com — no signup required.
