How to calculate GPU rental cost

  1. Step 1

    Pick a GPU

    Choose B200, H200, H100, A100, L40S or RTX 4090. The GPU memory is shown on each card.

  2. Step 2

    Set the size of the job

    Enter how many GPUs and how long you need them, in hours, days, weeks or months.

  3. Step 3

    Choose how you pay

    Compare on-demand, spot or preemptible, and reserved or committed prices.

  4. Step 4

    Compare and share

    Providers are ranked by the total cost. Copy a link or the ranked list as text.

The formula is price per GPU-hour x GPUs billed x hours. GPUs billed is your count rounded up to the provider's smallest node, and a month is 730 hours.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to rent an H100 GPU?

On-demand H100 rental costs about $2.25 to $12.29 per GPU per hour across the 13 providers in this calculator (checked November 14, 2026). GPU marketplaces and specialist GPU clouds are usually cheapest; AWS and Azure list the highest on-demand rates.

How much is an H200 or B200 per hour?

On-demand H200s cost about $3.59 to $10.60 per GPU-hour and B200s about $5.98 to $14.24 in this table. Newer GPUs cost more per hour but can finish a job faster, so compare the total cost of the job, not only the hourly rate.

What is the difference between on-demand, spot and reserved GPU pricing?

On-demand is pay-as-you-go with no commitment. Spot or preemptible GPUs are much cheaper but the provider can stop them at short notice, so they suit jobs that checkpoint. Reserved or committed pricing gives a lower stable rate in exchange for paying for a fixed term, from a few weeks to a year or more. Marketplaces such as Vast.ai and RunPod Community Cloud rent GPUs on third-party hosts on demand.

Why are some providers billed for 8 GPUs when I asked for 1?

Some providers, including AWS, rent data-center GPUs only as whole 8-GPU instances (for example p5.48xlarge with 8 H100s). The calculator rounds your GPU count up to whole nodes for those providers and marks the row "billed as 8 GPUs".

What does GPU rental not include?

Hourly GPU prices usually exclude persistent storage, data egress, some networking and taxes, and spot prices change during the day. Budget separately for storage and data transfer, and confirm current prices on the provider's page before you commit.

Prices are public list prices checked on November 14, 2026, linked to each provider's pricing page. AI Wins is not affiliated with any provider listed and earns nothing from them.
