I don`t worry about generic rules, I just get specific with a given
realm. I generally give a price based off the kind of unit the regent
wants the militia to be equipped as and then say that "x" number of
actual military units must spend "y" months training the militias in
different provinces.

In places that could conceivably have a citizen soldier ethic there may
not even be an extra cost associated with raising "improved" levies,
like in Rjurik where most people are are armed anyway.
