Assuming you have a mini-van/SUV capable of holding six people... gas would be $50/day if you are driving, you are looking at around $300 for a ferry off the island (and back), food is around $200/day, hotels around $250/day (assuming two rooms), etc.
Something like camping would obviously be less expensive. Food is significantly less and you wouldn't need hotels. Picking someone on the island saves on the ferry. Something like Long Beach/Pacific Rim Park in Toffino or Rath Trevor in Parksville. As long as you have the tents, you would be looking at $200/day for a camp site and food. If you don't want to rough it, you can look at cabin/condo rentals in those areas. More around $300/day with food. You could also likely rent an RV or trailer.
Likely the least expensive holiday would run $2000 for the two weeks of camping. Add a few cabin/condo rentals and the price would likely be in the $3000 range. Hotels and a lot of driving, more in the $4000 range.
Note that things like fishing can get extremely expensive for six people rather quickly. A salmon fishing license is $13 (free for those under 16) and a boat charter for 6 people could easily run $300 a day.

I am planning on driving through Oregon, California, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Montana, Idaho & Wyoming. I am mostly wanting to view the natural wonders & check out different national parks. I am planning to buy the $30/year national park pass. I am going to sleep in my car/camp out with tent on every night except for one night in Vegas I plan to get a hotel. I am planning on doing this over the course of 2 weeks. Any & all advice would be appreciated as well :)
Answer
Man that is a huge chunk of real estate to cover in two weeks : w/o actually looking it up I'd betcha that you're looking at 6000 miles ; possibly more
Realistically you're gonna be driving about 400 mpd which isn't the worst idea in the world bc there iS a lot that you can see from the road
Something that you haven''t mentioned is when you plan to do this : while that trip is barely do-able in the middle of summer it becomes impossible in winter
With those kinds of miles and those kinds of roads you're gonna need to rent comfortable biggish car like a Ford Taurus or a Toyota Camry
National Park Passes are $ 80.00 not $ 30.00.
Many NP campsites will charge you a fee ; The way that you get around that is to use the National Forests that often abut the NP and camp for free -usually
