Estimate what a fine-tuning run will cost based on your dataset size, number of epochs and the provider's training price per million tokens.
How this is calculated
This calculator uses the api cost formulas described in our methodology. All figures are estimates for planning; verify current pricing with each provider before relying on them.

Frequently asked questions
How is fine-tuning billed?+
Typically by training tokens processed × number of epochs, at a per-million-token training rate that differs from inference pricing.
Is inference more expensive after fine-tuning?+
Usually yes — fine-tuned models often carry higher per-token inference rates than the base model.
