Kumon plans and prices

Kumon does not publish a national price. Each center is independently owned and sets its own monthly tuition per subject. As of October 2026, third-party price surveys report most US centers charging about $130–$220 per subject per month, with some metro centers higher. Most centers add a one-time registration fee (commonly $50–$80) and some add a materials fee. Math and reading together usually means paying tuition twice. Call your local center for its exact rates.

Per-month prices divide yearly plans by 12. Prices from the provider, checked 2026-10-13; confirm on the official Kumon site.

Kumon free trial, discounts and cancellation

Free trial: Kumon has no national free trial. Some centers run their own open-house or free-month promotions; ask the center directly.
Free version: None.
Discounts: Center promotions: Individual centers sometimes waive registration fees or run seasonal offers. These vary by location and are not national.
Referral program: Kumon's parent guide describes a referral program inside the myKUMON portal that rewards families with Amazon gift cards.
How to cancel: Withdrawal is handled by your local center, not online. Many centers ask for written notice (often 30 days) before the next billing date. Ask for the policy in writing when you enroll.
Refunds: Refunds follow each center's own policy. Paid tuition for a month already started is usually not refunded.
Extra costs: Registration fee, possible materials fee, and a second tuition charge if your child takes both math and reading. Kumon Connect requires your own tablet and stylus.

Is Kumon worth the money?

Kumon is a disciplined practice program, not a tutor who explains school homework. It works best for kids who need fluency and confidence in basic math or reading and who will do a short worksheet every single day. Families who want concept teaching, flexible schedules or help with current class assignments often find it repetitive and costly over time.

Questions

How much does Kumon cost per month?

Kumon doesn't publish a national price because each center is a franchise. As of October 2026, third-party price surveys put most US centers at about $130–$220 per subject per month, plus a one-time registration fee that is often $50–$80. Taking math and reading means paying tuition for each.

Is there a Kumon free trial?

There's no national free trial. Some centers run their own promotions, such as a waived registration fee or a free first period. Ask your local center what it offers before you enroll.

Can I pay for Kumon with an ESA or scholarship?

Possibly. Some ESA programs allow tutoring from providers that meet their credential rules, and each program decides. Save Kumon to your Edulist wishlist and check scholarships for your state to see what applies.

How do I cancel Kumon?

Contact your center directly. Many centers ask for written notice, often 30 days, before the next billing date. Get the withdrawal policy in writing when you sign up.
