What the estimate includes

The membership model adds one household fee to the total course purchases across all students. Enter a separate course count for each child. The subscription model multiplies the entered rate by students and billing periods. Materials and outside support are household totals for the same planning period. The per-student figure is an average, not an individual invoice.

The starting membership figures match RPC's published $250 renewing membership and $50 course fee. Its non-renewing membership is $350. The subscription starting rate matches Time4Learning's published $39.95 rate. Its billing occurs every 30 days, so twelve payments are not an exact calendar year. Figures checked September 19, 2026.

Edit the inputs to match your actual quote. Discounts, taxes, refunds, variable course loads, and future price changes are not included automatically. For a free curriculum, access is $0; supplies and additional support can still cost money. Your entries are not sent to us or saved after you leave.
