It depends mostly on the families homeschooling approach, but in general it should not be more than the cost of a public school.

To keep the cost of schooling down some families invest in a good maths and language course (new or second hand) and then supplement the other subjects with free resources on the internet or books from the library. Other families use a unit study program which makes it possible for them to educate their children from different age groups using the same material. If a family uses a separate curriculum for each child home education can become more expensive, especially if they use overseas products.

On the front page of the website is a detailed spreadsheet under the header common topics and cost of homeschooling which will give an estimate of homeschool costs.
